Hair cut like a celebrity email this discussion to a friend?

There is a show called Shear Genius[/i] (hair stylists compete for a big prize) that airs on the Bravo network. Last year a woman asked the contestant to cut and style her hair like Gwen Stefani's. Well the contestant (the hair stylist) tried, but it just isn't likely that a person can give a woman platinum blonde hair in two hours when the original color of the woman's hair was black. So it didn't go well.

My mom brought my sister and I into a salon when we were very young, I think 5 and 7. She asked the woman to cut me and my sister's hair like Dorothy Hamill, the famous ice skater. Dorothy Hamill was still quite popular back then. Well when the hair cuts were finished, we did not look like Dorothy Hamill. We looked like Dorothy Hamill's brother!

Have you ever asked your stylist or barber to cut your hair like a celebrity? If so, did it work out OK? Is there someone you want to have you hair styled after? I know the Rachel cut was popular when Jennifer Aniston was on Friends.

I haven't been to a hairdresser in about 12 years and the very word 'celebrity' produces an unpleasant reaction on my part - so I'll just give a straight 'no' to your question.

It just doesn't work. You know to get a hair cut like a celebrity may not make you look anything like that celeb. Our bone structure may not be the same, and the way the hair grows may be different.. the texture and thickness is something to consider also. Those celebs may have some help with hair extensions or a weave also; you never really know. I think to look like a celeb with a new hair cut, you would have to have similar features to begin with. I wanted the Dorthy Hamel style too and it looked alright, but not that it looked like her hair style.

That is what I think people don't get. Just because you have the celebrity's hair style, it doesn't make your face equal to the one of the celebrity. And as absurd as that sounds, I think a lot of people expect that as a result.

I did have a Dorothy Hamill hair style when I was about 19 or so. My style turned out okay. I did have a hair cut about a year ago that I didn't like the way that it turned out, though it wasn't considered a celebrity hair cut. I guess from now on I will just stick with my neighbor who is a hair stylist to cut my hair. It's much cheaper to boot and she does a great job.

I have never asked a stylist to cut my hair like a celebrity. However, I have shown them pictures of a style. I never get what I want so I don't go anymore.

Nope....and probably never will....I like to keep it simple. Sometimes those haircuts are too hard to take care of. I just recently got mine done differently and had to learn to use one of those roll type brushes....well it's never even come close to the way the lady did it. My hair is short...and many of those celebrities hair is a bit longer....?

Sorry not me, as don't want to be a celebrity. Many of them are trying to be treated just like everyone else in my city, but the camera people and some citizens wouldn't let them. I just wall by and smile just like I do for anyone else.

I watch Sheer Genius and was more concerned about those big gardening shears near my face. I would rather get a celebrity cut than have those shears anywhere near me.

I remember the Dorothy Hamill look, and also the Farrah Faucet hairdo.
I did, way back then, have my hair feathered, but haven't been to a hairdresser since I was 22, a long long time ago.
I think if I were to go, I would have it feathered again, the new hairstyles just don't seem to fit me.


myLot reputation of 96/100. metschica25 (4788)   ranked 47 out of 97 in gwen stefani  2 years ago

yeah my mom took me to get it feathered when i was five . Actually, when i was in jr high i wanted a change and kinda brought that up to the hair dresser, but she dinn't think it was a good idea, and i should get something more current .

When I went to get my hair cut when I was in high school she told me she thought I would look good Rachel cut from friends . Since I was a huge fan I said okay . Needless, to say it didnt look like that or good on me .

When I was a teen for some reason I wanted blonde hair and tried many times, and only got orange . Then, I wanted blonde highlites on my dark brown hair and that never helped with a bottle, or at a beauty shop . They said I would have to keep coming back and they would go lighter and lighter, and well i didnt have the time or the money to go through all that .

I remember when I was five my mom took me to get my hair cut and feathered . I cant believe I had hair like that . well, it was the 80s lol
