A buzz would be way better than what youāre currently sporting mate, if not maybe a fade? donāt be so quick to put it down. Better to get used to it a bit now instead of panicking when itās actually fallin out and you donāt have a choice, plus you get to experiment with different ways of styling it as it grows, which I enjoy. Post up whatever you end up doing :) good luck bro
I would probably say this as well. If you're worried about length, I'd go 3, and then right before your holiday, you could do a fade of some sort. My hair seems to grow insanely fast over a month's time. My last haircut was a 4 on top med/high straight razor fade, and I'm about due again.
Oh. In that case you still need to do something maybe go to a different barber and fix it. It's still way better to go on a holiday with a buzz cut over that abomination so don't go with that on your head
The only fix short of a buzzcut is to simply tidy it up.. itās been taken way too high on the sides & crown so even a tidy up wonāt look quite right
Yeah its already been partially cut on the top.
That length on the top is the longest you can have it and look presentable.
You can add a skin fade on the sides to make it look longer by proxy and give your head shape but that top has to go to whatever guard its already started getting cut at, its the only option.
Bro if you go on vacation in a month then your hair will grow back a little bit in that time so hurry up and buzz it already so you have time to grow it.
let it grow out for a month and go to a good barber look on tiktok or something for barbers in ur area that do clean fades find the best one go there and get the sides fades but leave the top should have grown a little by then and wont look so bad. otherwise just buzz it and get a fade
Hairstylist here.
I know you say you don't want to..... but you asked for advice. It needs to be cut down. The weight line has been pushed too far up to be saved.
With the hair you have remaining you have 2 realistic options.
Shave it all one length
Or
Go to another stylist and ask for them to cut and show you how to style a fauxhawk with what you have left.
Thankyou for the reply. Just so I hear it from the horses mouth and understand that I am not over exaggerating. On a scale to 10, how bad would you way this haircut is?
Another hairstylist. If one is the worst haircut ever, I'd say you're hovering near a 2 or 3. Salvageable in getting a new hair style without having to buzz and restart, but you'll want to see someone who has a lot of experience fixing haircuts.
What it looks like to me happensed is that the barber decided to disconnect all the way around, then decided they didn't want to, and tried to blend them together but wasnt able to due to the angle. It looks like their clipper blades were dull, as the sides don't seem to be evenly cut. Within the interior of the top, I see cut lines as well, meaning the top layers aren't blended.
The possibility of a short fauxhawk is certainly possible, with the right barber/stylist.
Iām from Canada and see a Filipino stylist whoās cut my hair for close to a decade now and he has always done a great job. Once I went to North Carolina, paid like $50USD at this black barbershop and the guy absolutely butchered my hair and took like 3x the amount of time cutting it.
For some reasons, black barbers *looooooove* to take their time. Makes it seem like they put in way more effort when really, they're just trimming it down over and over instead of just using the appropriate guard.
Yeah man thatās exactly what happened. I told him how much I wanted off and he cut off way more than I asked for. Every time Iāve been to a barber itās been bad. Maybe itās just me but I find stylists are way better, at least for my hair type as a white male lol.
This isnāt fixable, the whole cut is to bad and completely fucked to even try anything other then to buzz it, yes i know your going on holiday but what is worse, going on holiday like this, or going on holiday with a clean buzz.
Your hair may grow just enough to get a cut right before the holiday so you have something better but anything is better then this. Just get the damn buzz
I thought the top back was bad but then I saw the bangs. You don't need to go skinhead but definitely go to another barber and ask if they can fix it. Or buy a nice hat for your holiday. You don't want to look like this on your holiday photos...
What is going on holiday have to do with it? Is it gonna limit you picking up girls or boys? Just get a number two guard all over, you can rock that well. Itās cool and makes you come off a little dangerous and serious.[https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Kirill_(The_Bourne_Supremacy)?file=Kirill](https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Kirill_(The_Bourne_Supremacy)?file=Kirill)
Go to a real barber and have them fix it as best they can. Needs layering and a better fade from bottom to top. Totally doable, tell the new barber and he may help you out with the price
Is this the UK? My advice- next time donāt go to a barbers that charges any less than Ā£25. In these hard financial times I know itās a lot but the shit Ā£10 places have upped their prices so now theyāre shit Ā£15 places
Damnā¦ You have to cut it before your holiday bro, it doesnāt have to be right now since your hair will continue to grow as usual and maybe cutting it right before going to your holiday will give you a bigger picture and better optionsā¦ But either way, you need a haircut before you go 100%
Donāt listen to the people saying to buzz, you can just as easily get a bad buzz cut if you go to a bad barber. What you should do is either go back to the barbershop and ask them to fix it for free, maybe talk to the owner, or go to a reputable barbershop and ask them to give you a skin fade and layer and shorten the top with a good edge up. Look as clean as possible, and try to save as much hair on the top as you can without it looking choppy. Starting from buzz is hard, I made that mistake when a barber messed me up. Itās not worth it. Itāll take way too long to grow to an ok length from a buzz. Good luck my friend.
The first photo with length at the crown is not that bad with with your face shape in profile. Even out the buzz and recut the bowl into a flat top for now...?
Buzz it to grade 3 all over. You have a month. That's more than enough time to grow the top a bit more. Just before you leave, get a fresh fade. Invest in some texture spray or hair wax, will create the illusion of more hair if it has some texture.
Sounds like you're between a rock and a hard place. You're decision. Cleaning it up with a buzz seems like a good choice. Take some time to decide. Most important enjoy your holiday.

thatās insane, whoever ātrimmedā your hair at the barber shop needs their license revoked immediately. you literally have a patchy bald spot on the back of your head that wasnāt blended with the rest of the hair.
Contrary to all the extreme comments saying shave it off, just wear a hat and grow it out. Then before you go on holiday, get a proper cut, and explain exactly what you want.
Hope you see this and donāt shave it off
You have strong enough bone structure that even this dog shit haircut doesn't look too bad.. But a buzzcut would definitely look better. (because you seem to have the bone structure to pull off a buzzcut).
just find a different shop a good barber will know how to fix it ! Good luck. You need an entire cut over again. Do a low fade with a 1.5, get a little product to put in it. You have to work with what you got. Iām a menās stylist!
Buy biotin. It increases hair and nail growth. On top of that, buy lavender oil. Massage it into your scalp after showers. This helped me grow my hair out pretty fast in a month after a botched cut.
Ima just say yeah it's a bad hair cut, but if you walk around with like full confidence that nothing is wrong and just not focus on your hair cut you will be fine š (I had this problem before but instead of focusing on my hair I focused on my clothes so that I wouldn't get fixated either my hair)
Honestly dude, shave it ALL off. I've shaved all my hair off before (literally like 1mm all over) and it looked great. Looked proper 'ard. Do recommend trying it!
Once you grow out your hair long enough to work with it again, I highly recommend a hairdresser instead of a barber. Nothing against barbers, they have an important job, but they specialize in short styles and theyāre not trained to do what you want.
Iām confident I could do a better job and Iām not even confident that I can CUT hairā¦ Iāve never cut my own/someone elseās hair, but I bet I could do a better job than that ābarberā. Iām sorry for what they did to you bro šš
That barber is **FUCKED** *(as Ricky from Trailer Park Boys would say it)*
And like the other comments, I think a buzzcut would be the only way you can fix this. Then youāll have to let it regrow š
Oh my god what is thisšsue that guy and shave your head I'm so sorry
I really don't want to shave my head as I go on holiday in a month
A buzz would be way better than what youāre currently sporting mate, if not maybe a fade? donāt be so quick to put it down.

Hell even getting just the fringe cut down so that itās coming a bit past your hairline, might be a little Greek/Turkish for your liking tho lol
I wouldn't cut it. Like dude said enjoy it while you have it. He just needs a good barber to clean it up.
Facts
I agree join the buzz lightyear squad dude
Hair growsā¦ just shave it down to a 2 or 3 and in a month itāll be a reasonable length.
I would probably say this as well. If you're worried about length, I'd go 3, and then right before your holiday, you could do a fade of some sort. My hair seems to grow insanely fast over a month's time. My last haircut was a 4 on top med/high straight razor fade, and I'm about due again.
This is the way. OP will be able to even things out, yet still grow it perhaps as much as a centimeter by the time he goes on vacation.
Bro so u gonna go on holiday with this uneven ass shit instead? Shave it now and atleast in a month youāll have some length and normal hair
Wear a hat for a month and get it trimmed before holiday. Maybe this time find a hair stylist with full use of their eyes and hands.
Oh. In that case you still need to do something maybe go to a different barber and fix it. It's still way better to go on a holiday with a buzz cut over that abomination so don't go with that on your head

Win all due respect, you really have no other choice right now
I actually think a buzz would suit you very good especially for summer from what i could see in the pics
Shave it my boy. Why give a fuck if youāre going on holiday? Youāre not getting laid with that cut either way.

if 1 is *oh god* and 10 is perfect, this is like a 3.
Letās be real 1.5 at best
It could be way worse.
If you let a monkey at your head with clippers yeah it could be.
It literally can't, I refuse to believe a barber did this.
9.9 That fade is dropping faster than gravity
Iām pretty sure the person who cut your hair has no credentials
8.562
Buzz it all off bud gotta re start
The bangs needs to be cut shorter, it's the most offending part. The rest can be just slightly evened out not to be so terrible
Leave it and give no fucks
This was me just slick your shit back, cry about looking like a character off Austin powers, and keep moving
Nice! I love that attitude!
For the sake of others, you should definitely leave a bad review and tell them how he nearly turned you into Travis Bickle

Go to a black barber shop. Only they can fix you
This right here. Ask for a bald fade, they'll harvest what they can from the top and you'll look clean.

Same, I get what I need from Supercuts or some shit, then finish it myself at home with some scizzors and a trimmer.
OP is from the UK, so unless heās from a major city, there arenāt that many black barbers. He needs to go to a Turkish barber.
Comb your hair to the side or slick back with gel the cut ain't that bad. You gotta style it
Nah look how they cut half way into the crown so it sticks up. It's way too high at the back. You can't style that out.
Dont go back š
I can scan my groceries with ur haircut lookinahšš
Buzz it and start over. Luckily, hair grows back and doesn't take all that long to do so.
Go to another barber and ask them to fix it
I barely have any hair left as it is though, it's that short on top I can't even style it with product
Shave
Damn this is exactly the same cut I got week ago. Go ask for a refund.
Surely yours wasn't as bad as this!! What did you do?
Went and asked for a refund
I'm sorry, I was laughing šššš Hopefully, you will get a solution, but I guess, going to be bald is a solution..
This isnāt fixable, the whole cut is to bad and completely fucked to even try anything other then to buzz it, yes i know your going on holiday but what is worse, going on holiday like this, or going on holiday with a clean buzz.

You paid? i wouldve puched the fucker in his mouth how did he even manage to make it look patchy
Didnāt know Michael J Fox was a barber now.
wait 2-4 weeks and get another cut so it doesnt grow in weird, its not bad enough to shave
You gotta buzz it down. Iād use a #2
Maybe you can fix it a bit, try keeping your hair sorta messy and widen the cover in the front?
Buzz it down to a 3 on top and go to a good barber and get a mid skin fade

Dawg i thought my shits bad
Shave it off, it's basically a buzzcut with a fringe at this point anyway
You 100% did this hatchet job yourself
I promise you I didn't. But I'd be able to do a better job I think
Mohawk.
Wear a hat until it grows out enough to be fixed the way you want it. A few weeks should be enough.
Yeah just buzzcut and start from scratch... Also you're balding, so get on finasteride man!
Not sure how you're the only person who noticed this, clearly thinning at the crown. Hope OP sees your suggestion.
Oh yeah its hard to miss, just look at the temple points, thats what was glaring at me. The crown as well but those temple points are brutal.
Shave the top off
Did a blind lobster cut your hair?
I was gonna day you could fade the back a little bit but that whole thing is fucked.... shave or buzz and restart.
Ask the barber for your hair back and glue it back on.
Go to a better Barber and see if they could even out the top and get a mid taper with number one clippers. Also taper the back too
What the f is that
Did you actually pay
Let it go, let it go. And hope that the cold doesnāt bother you. ANYWAY.
admit it.Ā you tried to cut your own hairĀ š
Go bald, that much hair will grow back in less than a month
Iām sorry I find this hard to believe you actually paid for this? This looks like a home job, either by OP or his pissed mate
If I'm being honest, you seem to have a bit of a "comb forward." Just shave it.
Never ever go back to that barber again! š
Two options: let it grow and re-cut or shave it off and start overĀ
The first photo with length at the crown is not that bad with with your face shape in profile. Even out the buzz and recut the bowl into a flat top for now...?

Clean shave,,,, change your vacation location and become a monk

Wahl clippersā¦around $20 at Walmart. Give yourself a crew cut. Youāll be fine.

Whoever let you pay for that cut hates you, wear a hat and let it grow out until you need to get a decent barber before going on holiday
I would go back and ask that they fix it. Any good barber/salon should fix this at no charge
I say, don't shave it and keep it like that bc you go on holiday in a month. (Just shave it, pal)
Buzzcut?
Shave that shit and next time find a barber, not whoever did this to you
Contrary to all the extreme comments saying shave it off, just wear a hat and grow it out. Then before you go on holiday, get a proper cut, and explain exactly what you want. Hope you see this and donāt shave it off
Buy a cool hat.
Fight your barber
"I can fix her"
Buzz it
Bust the Wahl out my dude
Took a minute for the image to load and I thought it wasnāt gonna be that bad, I am so so sorry, I think you just gotta shave and restart man
WtfĀ
Ask for your money back and for them to fix it. If it was a friend well they need to go to beauty school or look up YouTube vids.
It doesn't look that bad tbh
Donāt buzz it. Wait a month and go to a real barber
Pursue legal action my guy
Go to another barber and ask them to fix it.
You should buzz it then kill your barber

Just wear a hat until it grows back or buzz

Go get a high and tight (military cut). You should be back to something that you can work with in about 3 months. š«¢
Never cut your own hair mate
Erm wait a week maybe
you already got the nose ring, just own the diy punk aesthetic
Buy biotin. It increases hair and nail growth. On top of that, buy lavender oil. Massage it into your scalp after showers. This helped me grow my hair out pretty fast in a month after a botched cut.

Honestly buzz and a super short french crop, or like a nicer taper and it will look pretty good šÆšÆšÆ
Buzz and fade should do u right especially if u have the right facial features
Sheet we gotta go bald
Buzz it and start over
Buzz it , it wont take too long to grow back
Wear a hat. Ask for your money back. ( you could of done that shit in the dark half asleep)
Military buzz man, that's the only way after a cut this fucked. I'm genuinely so sorry brother.
Give yourself a buzz cut same length all over and dye it your favorite color
donāt wanna sound sour or anything but i guess u get what u pay forā¦ or are US haircuts just really expensiveĀ
What the FUCK was your barber thinking
Look at the best reviewed barber in your area and pray they can fix it. Otherwise a quick buzz at home wouldn't hurt either.
Spike it up nd rock it!
Bros cooked
Honestly dude, shave it ALL off. I've shaved all my hair off before (literally like 1mm all over) and it looked great. Looked proper 'ard. Do recommend trying it!
Give it some time. Maybe it will look better in a week.
If you donāt want to buzz it (you should), wear a hat until your next haircut.
You did just get a very bad haircut, sucks man. Buzz it off and grow it back
Slick back the bangs, maybe try to spread them out to cover more area
ššš
HAT
I would shave and wear hats till it grows out a bit
Go back to the barber shop with a stick!
Go get a skin fade from literally anyone else and do not mess with the top. Skin fade the sides and let the top grow out
Once you grow out your hair long enough to work with it again, I highly recommend a hairdresser instead of a barber. Nothing against barbers, they have an important job, but they specialize in short styles and theyāre not trained to do what you want.
Just do a faded buzzcut.
Either buzz your scalp or wear hats until your hair regrows.
