Layered vs. Shaggy

Just got a haircut. Haircut? What haircut?!?!?! I couldn't even see much difference from before and after entering the salon! Once again, the stylist didn't get the do that I wanted to achieve. I told him to trim off an inch from my hair, then layer the rest. He layered it but not the type of layered look that I imagined. He did just enough cutting so as not to make the end too blunt. I tried to tell him to cut more and bring the layers higher but he was too cautious. I gave up, I didn't want to go into "self-sabunot" mode anymore.

The haircut that I visualized in my mind was something more pokpokish, hahaha. Like this:

Instead, I think I got something like this (with bangs and brown hair of course):

It just looks like a trimmed version of my previous style. Maybe I should've told the stylist to do a shaggy cut. Then he might have done something more severe to my mane.

Anyway, they gave me a head massage, some good shampooing plus conditioning and an excellent blow drying so my money didn't really go to waste. Too bad I didn't have anything planned for tonight so this blow dried hair will just spend tonight on pillows. Maybe next week I'll try to get another haircut to satisfy the need for updating my look. :)
