Bad Haircut Next Steps
UPDATE: I realized that if I'm bothered enough about this that I'm going to Reddit, it warrants fixing. I booked an appointment with a hairdresser. Given what happened last time I got my hair cut, I'm nervous about communicating clearly. Is there something wrong with this haircut other than the disconnect between the top and bottom?
TL;DR wondering if I look strange enough to justify going to another salon to have this fixed and if so, is this fixable?

I told my hairdresser that I couldn't stand looking at the black tips of my bixie anymore (growing out dye) and wanted them gone. I asked him to give me the longest pixie that still got the color off and told him I had 4" of regrowth. I noticed during the haircut that he was leaving what looked like 5"+ of hair but I didn't question it because I figured he knew what he was doing. He asked if I wanted him to trim my bangs. I said, "Yeah, sure, a little—I trimmed them myself last week." He cut 1" from the middle of my bangs. I suspect it was an accident he was only going to acknowledge if I complained. I figured what was done was done and at least the color would be gone. At the end, though, he said, "Much better, there's just a little black left at the ends now." I was gobsmacked and also horrified at my very square men's haircut pixie. I would have had him fix it, but why would I trust this man again?
I went home and cut the whole top down by making small sections, measuring 4" with a ruler, and cutting following the shape of my head. I point cut with thinning sheers, which I later learned you're not supposed to do on asian hair 😬. I didn't touch the bottom half of the back or sides of the haircut. I did my best to make the bangs look somewhat not insane. I know that long piece that touches my brow looks weird, but basically I want it to be symmetrical with the other side for when they grow out. I've been curling my bangs under and to the side to hide the sins.
I know the technique I used is not correct and I feel like my hair looks wrong overall, but I can't place how. Part of it would definitely be that the top is not joined correctly to the bottom. I don't know what to do to improve this haircut, other than to do my best to flatten everything down with product, or to wear accessories to cover it. I don't trust myself to join the top to the bottom. I also don't know if it looks weird to me because I know it was cut wrong, or if it looks wrong to others, too? I've been wearing crocheted headscarves over my head since this haircut (5 days) because I'm worried it looks crazy on it's own.
If it does look crazy, is there enough hair left for a hairdresser to fix it? Does it just need some re-shaping, or are there visible structural issues? Is there enough hair to salvage approximately this length of pixie, or would I have to go noticeably shorter?
