I needed to shorten and tidy up my long hair, but it seems like the stylist, Vladimir, lacked experience working with long hair on men. I mentioned four times that I exclusively wear my hair tied back, yet the stylist still focused on how it looked when loose. As a result, my hair was cut too short, and it no longer ties back neatly and looks less tidy than it did before the haircut. Now I’ll need several months to grow my hair back to correct the stylist’s mistake.
