bad haircut

Last Sunday, my husband & I watched a french film, Mon meilleur ami. When I saw Julie Gayet's hairstyle, I realized it was perfect for what I wanted right now. So, I googled images & found exactly what I was looking for.

Today, my hubby & I made appointments to get our new summer 'do's. His point of reference was Steve Zahn, at the premiere for Management. His stylist finished the cut by the time my hair was washed. Unfortunately, he had too much cut from the top. Looked nothing like the pic (which we weren't expecting perfection but at least a close resemblance).

My stylist was combative from the start. She tried to tell me what I wanted was not possible because Julie had a different hair texture than mine. Nor did she believe I'd ever had my hair cropped close to my nape. She began cutting my hair into a hair helmet & seemed annoyed when I pointed out that I wanted my hair cut shorter. I ended up with a blunt, sloppy cut, with horrible texturizing.

To wit, I wanted a style somewhere between these three photos:





And this is what I got :(
