You like them, you keep having them cut your hair. You don't, you stop visiting them. You have three favourite stylists, great for you, have the three of them work on your hair. </p> <p>I also don't get the 'let's take it if it's free' if you don't want/need it. It's like me having Mexican food just because it's free. That doesn't change the fact that I don't like Mexican food! lol</p> <p>But if you DO feel like getting your hair cut, and you DO feel like you can trust this stylist, I don't see why not to give it a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-free-haircut-offer/page/2#post-959200 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 18:59:20 +0000 amiable 959200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd do it - but then, my hair is nothing special, and I like playing with it.</p> <p>And I see you're intending to do it - have fun! &nbsp;</p> <p>:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-free-haircut-offer/page/2#post-959183 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 18:43:05 +0000 Anonymous 959183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point by Marley there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-free-haircut-offer/page/2#post-959144 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:52:25 +0000 catgirl 959144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't do it because I am completely devoted to my own stylist to the point of dysfunction. &nbsp;But before her, I'd have taken up such an offer in a heartbeat. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-free-haircut-offer/page/2#post-959140 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:50:00 +0000 Marley 959140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that this really makes sense for you Rae - because you are in the process of growing your hair into a different style, it needs some&nbsp;shaping right now&nbsp;- and this guy is experienced and understands what you are trying to achieve.&nbsp; Its not like your hair is in a style right now that you absolutely love and that your hairstylist has it absolutely <b>nailed.&nbsp; </b>You're in flux - I'd go into this experience &nbsp;viewing it as a transitional cut/style - and an adventure!&nbsp; (as well as a way to save some money!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-free-haircut-offer/page/2#post-959131 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:34:50 +0000 texstyle 959131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me it would be a no unless maybe he had given me a photo of the proposed cut and I had seen some of his other work. I thought you were pretty disappointed in your last cut rae - not because&nbsp;the stylist did it wrong, but because you felt like maybe you didn't want it that short after all. My question would be then, how is this stylist going to use you as a model without doing a pretty drastic cut? Usually hair show models get pretty drastic cuts/styles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-free-haircut-offer/page/2#post-959128 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:31:45 +0000 T-Rex 959128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would do it. First of all, I'm a bit of a gambler. Second, I would want to help him out. Third, hair will grow back. Fourth, it's not as much of a gamble as volunteering for a newbie hair stylist. The guy has seven years under his belt. Fifth, I may find that I like what he does. </p> <p>The only thing that would keep me from doing it would be if I had recently had a hair cut from my regular stylist, and it still looked really good. I'm too much of a scrimper and saver to waste a good haircut that I already had. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-free-haircut-offer/page/2#post-959109 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:01:50 +0000 Anonymous 959109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...and a&nbsp;side note( not to scare you off), but the last time I did a spurt of the moment move like that, it ended up pretty badly. I used to take little Zap to a&nbsp; Paul David salon for her haircut. As I waited for her to be done, I got talked into getting a trim... Well, the stylist chopped my bottom layer off ( My hair is cut in layers, forming a v in the back), making the top layers much heavier. It look about 5 haircuts and two years for my stylist to fix the mistake, since that bottom layer needed to grow about 4 inches. <br />Yep, it is hair, yep it grows, it might just take a long while.<br />For me, never again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-free-haircut-offer/page/2#post-959095 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:20:58 +0000 Thistle 959095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As hair is SUCH a big part of your style, and you are in the image industry, I would say no. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-free-haircut-offer#post-959087 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 15:54:33 +0000 Angie 959087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally, I'd be a complete no on this, and the proposition would not be tempting to me at all.

My hair is an awkward length anyway, and he happened to appear right when I was getting sick of it.&nbsp;</p> <p>It has been a real adjustment going from cutting my own hair for 10 years to having to pay the equivalent of a pair of new shoes every few months, so a free cut is a welcome break. Going to look at it as the universe throwing me a bone... and hey, the hair already looks awkward and needs to grow out... even if I don't like the cut, I won't really be in any different situation.</p> <p>Thank you so much for the reviews of VS and encouragement to give it a try!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-free-haircut-offer#post-958800 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 03:22:54 +0000 deb 958800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would do it.<i></i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-free-haircut-offer#post-958798 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 03:21:50 +0000 Anonymous 958798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How did the guy's own hair look to you?

Period. 958660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did Sassoon&nbsp;school cuts &amp; color all through law school. Free is very nice. Even cheap (follow up cuts) is nice. &nbsp;The folks at the school&nbsp;are experienced stylists who are&nbsp;getting additional training, so the cuts are good. &nbsp;Also, the school instructors (the people who are really magic) come through afterwards and finish your cut if there is anything that needs perfecting. &nbsp;Only you know if you hair person is going to take it badly, though. &nbsp;I would just say that someone asked you to be a hair model for a quick cut and you really needed to save the money. &nbsp;If you don't feel like you can be honest with your hair person in that way, then I would pass on the free cut. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-free-haircut-offer#post-958659 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 01:09:18 +0000 Nicole D 958659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mmmmmmm....no. &nbsp;I did that once but it was for my regular hairdresser.<br />Despite Rambling Ann's sidesplitting haiku, i would demur. &nbsp;Too risky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-free-haircut-offer#post-958629 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 00:36:28 +0000 DonnaF 958629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Back in the '70s when I was a poor student, I would be a hair model at the Sassoon school.&nbsp; They were all experienced licensed stylists like your guy so it was much less risky than getting a cut at a beauty school.&nbsp; I never got a bad cut.&nbsp; A friend also got her hair cut there.&nbsp; Once she got a beret (that's what it looked like!), so it was unusual, but she never got a bad cut even if it wasn't precisely what she wanted.&nbsp; I would go for it.&nbsp; It is only hair and will grow out.&nbsp; Plus, you wouldn't be getting a perm or color, right?&nbsp; Those can take longer to fix. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-would-you-do-free-haircut-offer#post-958612 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 00:15:41 +0000 Rambling Ann 958612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A haircut haiku:</p> <p>Hair&nbsp;grows regardless&nbsp;<br />of who cuts it or how badly<br />If only money grew</p>
