I am all for long hair! The longer, the better!

I am old fashioned like that ^_^

:-)

.... I think Actress-CFQueen like Jeon Ji-hyun, Suzy, Yoona, Park Shin-hye will never messing up their hair. Errr except Shin-hye maybe, that was during her drama YAB..

I have been wanting to cut my hair short because of the heat, but couldn't do it anyway because my hair takes forever to grow! I don't want to risk cutting my hair only to end up looking horrendous and having to wait years for it to grow back.

If I may be allowed to put in my 2 cents, there's nothing that I like better than a simple ponytail that kinda goes up before it goes down. Don't know if what a guy likes is relevant here.

i'm the white chick that just gave up.

my hair is thick in both strand and volume...and i always wear long. i let it get to waist length even. it was taking hours to blow dry or a whole day to naturally dry. and that's when i just gave up on salon's, stylists, blow dryers and did the most craziest thing...i ponied up.

i put my hair in a pony tail on top of my head
braided pony tail and tied it off.

and then...i cut the pony tail off. ALL 26.5 inches !!!

as crazy as it sounds, the 'new do' actually looks pretty good. i now sport a layered look that is shoulder length.

Once I asked for a Lee Da Hae perm (circa My Girl era)
...
Needless to say I looked nothing like Joo Yoo Rin and perhaps never will :'(

oh my gosh this is exactly what i'm thinking about right now (the getting the haircut thing)... and of course literally the first thing i search on google images is go ara's hairstyle from you're all surrounded.......

i made the appointment for next week. we'll see how it goes. i literally have not done anything exciting to my hair for a long time.. it's really literally asking friends (or my mom) to just chop it straight a bit. i've really had long hair since forever..

First time in my life, I went with a photo and then it looked nothing like that.. I learned my lesson. Now I just go for the standard this cut.

Must be something in the air... I woke up the other day and wanted to cut my hair. So before the husband woke up, I chopped it off myself. When he saw he was like... wth... After he was fully awake I asked him to even out the back, it looks okay in a pony tail.

I hate taking my hair in to the salon because it's so thin. I can never justify the money I pay to cut 2 strand of hair.

Personally I like my hair short and no longer than shoulder-length. When it does grow long I find it difficult to maintain and annoying, and I just end up tying it up in a bun or something.

<3 <3 this odds and ends cause Korean hairstylists are amazing. I mean for my experience, the haircuts are always pretty. Summer is always a good season to get the haircut done.

Glad to know that I'm not alone in this pursuit for perfect hair. I'm always a short hair girl; the longest my hair has ever gotten is just reaching the tops of my shoulders. And the dilemma for girls with short hair, as compared to girls with long hair, is that I look drastically different after cutting my hair and fringe. Since I'm not a frequent hair-salon-hopper, I usually cut my hair and bangs to a really short length, so it will take at least 3 months before another salon visit. Well, it didn't make sense to me to go the hair salon every few weeks just to cut a few cm of my hair just so that I can maintain my short hairstyle. And then when your hair grows out, you look like this shaggy hairy dog -.- Any tips for girls with short hair?

@javabeans
where did you get your hair cut in LA?
better question: WHO?

I'm moving to LA in a couple of weeks for college and I am in need of a Korean salon...desperate need

ANY AND ALL RECOMMENDATIONS

Is it me or does everyone have this problem too...i get my hair cut and it nice...that very first day..then welcome to hair hell.

If you need a Korean hairstylist in London: Hurwundeki. Definitely not for ajummas.

It's an awesome place. I haven't had my hair cut there personally (I'm a long-hair person and I just have my mom trim it), but some of my friends have. I just go for the food.

OMG!! Words and disappointments right out my mouth and heart. When I moved out of LA, I always wanted to go back to my stylist. But now that I am back, all I can think about is my wonderful stylist back in Korea. She was amazing. Sigh. Back to finishing a stylist back in LA.

My high school best friend's mom was a great stylist, and she spoiled me so bad! She saw me all the time, and saw exactly how I (mis)treated my hair, and gave me flattering, easy to maintain cuts all the time for free! Then we graduated, and various moves happened, and I was up a creek, but around Christmas I totally lucked out! I stumbled across a fabulous Korean woman in one of the nearby salon studio thingies! She majored in makeup in South Korea, and has a masters from the US, and is soooooo skilled and is happy to run her own little hair cutting place and be her own boss and only employee! I'm looking forward to my next haircut, but I have to wait for my hair to grow and the funds to stack up...

rewarding myself with ice cream for knowing all the actresses on the picture.

i want hair as long as Jeon ji Hyun's but it's taking soooo long >.<

Maybe I'm just the only chic who doesn't care about her hairstyle. I often told my stylist to cut short only, no other instructions.

I hear you all. Two years I lived in the states, no one came anywhere near my hair. I lived w ever growing hair n made do w my own snips n trims to make it somewhat wearable.

So when I came back to Asia I found someone so good that I go in now n say do what you want. N I read my mags without nary a look in the mirror in anxiety. N it looks really fine.

So. Now I'm thinking maybe I should never move again. Or else I need to convince my stylist to move as well. Cos even in Asia there are bad stylists. =='

Truth be told when you find a great stylist the first thing they would do is tell you to throw those celebrity photo's away. Reminding you that they don't look that awesome all the time either.

Then they would concentrate on finding the hair styles that best suit you, and if they are really good they might throw in some make up tips as well.

I've always wanted to cut my hair in a bob hairstyle but always didn't go through with it whenever I needed a new hair cut because my hair takes forever to grow back. Then finally cut it into a Bae Do Na bob hairstyle. Best tip before getting your haircut try to find a face shape similar to yours in celebs then you know it will turn out ok, as it suits your face type.

Firstly, yes you need someone who understands your hair type. Its pointless if this fundamental rule is broken.

Next, and almost as important, you are looking for a stylist who both able to sculpt you as a fantastic artefact and one that makes YOU look desirable to [insert your preference here]. It is here that a great stylist will refine your brought in image to respond to your; face, personality and hair quality.

Too many stylist are ok at the sculpting. But the desirability level is the question. They are either in competition with you or too removed to see you in that way. Therefore it is difficult for them to make that leap from cutting hair to really giving you a style.

Yes we all hope for that day when we walk out of the chair and the positives totally outshine the doubts.

i just cut my hair short (because of wings -- yes that girl group) and my friends said i look like an inverted onigiri.

but its liberating. and i like onigiris.

I've always wanted to have Sooyoung's short hair in SNSD's Genie video. After a few years of debating whether to get it or not, I finally mustered up the courage to tell my stylist that I want her to do my hair just like Sooyoung's. My hopes were crushed when she told me right away that that specific hairstyle won't work with my hair type and face shape. :(

My hair just sits on my head and mocks me. I had a stylist years ago who I loved and trusted. Then she moved (betrayed me?)

Small comfort JB, but the Rachel didn't look good on anyone except Jennifer Anniston. Trust me. And I'm a white girl who went to a Korean stylist. She asked me what I wanted; I said 'Well, I like your hair'. How did that go so horribly wrong?

My hair resembles Hermione Granger's. It's thick, bushy, and I can't tame it. A losing battle. Finding a stylist I like has been a nightmare. The last time I had a good hair stylist was back in 2008, but she moved... so I've been salon-hopping ever since.

The one and only big problem and difference between us and them (those celebrity) is THE STYLIST

They stylist know what have to do with their hair

Please stop comparing our face and hair style with the celebrity.
Because not every style looking good to us.

I wish i could hire one of celebrity stylist
?

I go to the same hair-dresser as my wife. She takes forty minutes and buys special products from the hairdresser. I get a twenty-minute haircut and require no additional treatments. However, since we all live in the same small town, I get the same gossip for half the price.

American humorist Dave Barry has something classic to say on the advantage of being an American male. I realize that this does not apply to men in other cultures, and is countered by the other stereotype, also championed by Dave Barry, that American men are naturally shallow and rather stupid . . .

"Most men form an opinion of how they look in seventh grade, and they stick to it for the rest of their lives. Some men form the opinion that they are irresistible stud muffins, and they do not change this opinion even when their faces sag and their noses bloat to the size of eggplants and their eyebrows grow together to form what appears to be a giant forehead-dwelling tropical caterpillar . . . Most men, I believe, think of themselves as average-looking. Men will think this even if their faces cause heart failure in cattle at a range of 300 yards. Being average does not bother them; average is fine, for men."

This saves a lot of stress and expense.

everyone's so funny! guess i'll jump into the discussion too.

i've had the same bob for 14 yrs now when i went to a new stylist b/c my stylist was out of town and the new one made my hair fall out. not sure what she did wrong but my stylist had to keep cutting my hair shorter and shorter until it stopped falling out. before then i was all about long hair but when this happened i realized i loved short hair & i've been doing 101 variations of the bob ever since.

sometimes i go super short, other times it's just above my ears, then other times it's below my ears. when i'm feeling cool i do an edgier spikey look. i also like to keep it assymetrical--but sometimes i let one piece in front grow really long for an exaggerated assymetrical look. other times i keep it shaggier all over. i get compliments all the time from everyone b/c although it's a standard bob, i change it often. i find it doesn't take long to grow out either so whenever i get bored i just tell my stylist to leave it alone for a few months so i can choose a new look. it's such a versatile style that anyone can wear that i recommend it to everyone.

When I first became addicted to kdramas, I was surprised by the uniformity of hairstyles worn by younger-generation characters. At least 80% of young female characters have long hair, usually without bangs, and almost always without layers. Rich young women nearly always have their long hair styled in loose waves, often over one shoulder. Interestingly, the lead female may deviate from this norm, but the second lead rarely does. And I'd say that a considerable majority of young male characters sport the long, asymmetrical, side-swept bangs look. These looks are very attractive, but the degree of conformity to them is a bit worrisome.

Yeah i totally get what your talking about....i spent half my life salon hopping until i found one that i can depend on since i'm not so big on taking risks with my hair and face...so after i found this one i stuck to'em although i still only cut my hair once a year or once every 2 years....i LOVE my hair to be long.....and as for taking pics to the salon i never really believed anyone can be so good as to actually copy the pic AND make me look good in it so not gonna try it...let them do the thinking :p

I'm the very few lucky ones who have found the perfect hairdresser for me. :] The hairdresser cuts/perms both my parents hair in addition to my hair, so she knows where I get my curly, thin, and voluminous hair from (a little bit from both my parents) and how to make it look its best.

I've been alternating between straight "magic perm" and slightly curly perm hair, always long, past my shoulders, every summer(that's when I get my haircuts), but recently got my hair slightly-straight permed and cut short (a bit lower than my ears) and I love it! :D

I totally panicked when I heard my hairdresser was getting married at Korea, but thank goodness, she and her new husband is already back and planning live around here.
