I don’t mean in a way that would damage me, of course. But, the person I’m going to is depending on when my hair is gone to set up a surgery date. He said it may even take a year for electrolysis to be successful, then he would schedule me for stage one, which might take even longer.

I’d like to get my surgeries done as soon as possible. It’s held back my life enough already. I know laser on top of electrolysis helps, but I haven’t gotten much knowledge on it itself. Seems mixed on results, especially between ALT and RFF, which I’m not sure which one I want just yet. I was wondering what worked for those of you guys who’ve gone through this stage.

Every time I go to a barber or stylist, they get it wrong. Maybe the haircut looks good in the end, but it isn’t what I wanted. It happened again today after growing my hair out yet again to try yet again.

I have short hair, and I like it in a mullet or kinda like a mix between a mullet and a wolf cut. Spiky, fluffy, nicely layered. I drew pictures for stylists to follow, I have example pictures that show how I want each section. It never turns out right and I’ve basically gone to every barber within 40-50 minutes of me now. Came back home today, family says it doesn’t look anything like any of the pictures I shown. It’s good, but not what I wanted, nor what was used as a reference.

I tried to cut my hair with a mirror, but I was so confused. I couldn’t figure it out, couldn’t figure out how to use the scissors with a comb for fades, I kept hitting my arms on the mirror, couldn’t figure out how to use the mirror to layer my hair and segment it, kept going the wrong way, nothing was working right.

I tried to search up about how to do it, watched some tuts, but even then it was still very confusing. I think it’s because even with an idea on where to start, I still haven’t gotten it down fully.

How have you guys combated this? Are there specific resources online that help with certain styles? Do I just have to soldier through until it clicks through practice?

If you see a BUNCH of the same thing from me on here, I’m so sorry. Idk what happened, I clicked post, it said error, I reloaded the page, and it’s all my post, over and over. I tried to delete them all. Lmao.
