a little while ago i used my christmas money to get a nice haircut. My previous hairstyle was a shaggy, uneven, dyed black mop ( i was going for the emo look but looked more like one of the beatles ) and i wanted to try something new. so i went to a unisex salon called Toni and Guy- i dunno if they have it in america but its a really well respected place, and pricey, so youd think theyd do a good job.
Well think again, they suck ass.

ive had this haircut for a few weeks now. i paid a lot of money to have that cool hairstyle, and instead i got a badly cut, badly dyed weird punk mullet thing. maybe you think it looks nice, maybe you dont, the fact is it isnt what i payed for, and even though i forgot to tip, im glad i didnt because i really dont look how i want to. the lady explained to me that my hair is thicker than that guy in the pictures, and fair enough, but how does that justify dyeing it like that after i specifically told her how i wanted it and brought in a picture???
no, this isnt just hot headed whining (although i am enjoying it) i actually have a question with this- what do you think i should do? i really like scene hair, and i want my hair like this guys...

but because my sides are quite short, and his are very long, i dunno how long itll take. hair grows like 6 inches a year, and i guess thats practically it, so i guess at the end of the year if im still keen on it ill get it thinned, and layered (is that the right word? what is layering exactly?) but what should i do until then? im basically asking what people think would look best until that point, thats all (i.e getting it dyed a diff color, where to trim, maybe getting it thinned) and how do i know a place is good before i go there? honestly Tony and Guy are so famous (they have their own line of outrageously expensive hair products) i thought id be getting a good deal but i really didnt. thanks.
