I always say just do you. Everyone has their own preferences and when people try to impose them on others, it's because they are not happy with their own hair or with themselves.
BTW, I did see something interesting recently on "What Not To Wear". There was a woman on the show with what appeared to be tailbone-length, type 2 a/b hair which looked very pretty and healthy. The hairstylist, Nick, pointed to a spot just where her breasts started and said hair should not be longer than this point because it no longer looks stylish with outfits (Stacey on the show wears her hair that long usually, sometimes covering her breasts). Nick wanted to cut the woman's hair to what looked like mid-back but the woman firmly said NO and he unhappily honored that, leaving her hair alone completely.

I agree that he does great work and I admire his skills.SEMO said:I like Nick and most of the time I think he does great work. But sometimes I wonder if he they tell him to cut and color everyone's hair as standard practice or if that's his personal choice. Apparently no one on the show has the correct length or color
The only hairstyle I thought he totally messed up was when a woman with natural chin length hair came in and he cut it into this weird squarish shape. I thought it looked way better before. But the woman to her credit didn't flip out and handled the change well.
I think it's his personal choice about cutting and coloring as a way of advertising his business. However, many times when a woman says she wants to keep her length, he'll snip and snip, hair flyin' everywhere and her hair is still long, sometimes looking like the same length! He knows how to give hair shape without cutting it all off and to really enhance a woman's features with their hair.
I thought it was interesting, as I mentioned in my previous post, that there was a particular length he felt was too long for style.

I will never cut my hair short again. Thats what wigs are for....hahaBut its always been a dream of mine to have long hair thats all mine so I will go the distance....
