The cut wasn't bad – Hell, the fade in the back is downright sexy – but it's bad for me. I shouldn't have to tell a barber or a stylist that certain cuts are a no-no. I hardly have any knowledge of cutting hair save for what I hear from my sister and I know that you're supposed to soften negative features and accentuate positive ones. I have an abnormally pointy forehead. To compensate, I usually like an undercut with the front of my hairline to be asymmetrical with more volume opposite my part and towards the front and the corners of my forehead should have length and volume. That's what I made sure to explain since my usual barber was out-of-town, and that's about as precise a rundown as you'll get from someone off the street. The funny part is the novice who was doing my hair originally was doing pretty well. It was the experienced barber who took over at some point and completely disregarded anything I had said earlier. By the time I realized he was parting my hair the wrong way, it was too late. The cut was already dead-center symmetrical with the hair at the top of my forehead poofing out like a botched faux-hawk and nothing to soften it on the side. I can't even save it by working it into a pompadour because there's no volume. I wasn't expecting it to be exactly the same style and everything, but at least listen to me when I'm telling you how it's usually cut and styled.
