I just got my first Deva Cut last night and like someone said earlier, the stylist was sweet and seemed knowledgeable but I just dont think I like the cut. I cut quite a few inches off and love the shortness, as I was so ready for it. It just seems like she cut straight across at the bottom at my shoulders so it actually still has the triangle look ( I thought the Deva cut was not supposed to do that!?) When she was styling and drying it I couldnt really tell how it would fully dry so I didnt make her reshape it, but do you think she can fix it? My previous stylist used this technique that I loved and grew out so well, she would twist curls around her finger and then cut down into them so once it was dry they would go down to a nice point at the bottom and it was not so thick at the ends. Has anyone heard of this before? What should I do!? I feel like I have the Jennifer Grey in dirty dancing look, help!

I'd love to have a Deva cut too! I'm in the UK, and one of my clients who moved to the US had a Deva cut. She put the photos on Facebook, and she looked so gorgeous, I was ready to jump on a plane!

sorry you had a bad experience, so been there, waaayyy too many times! i don't think it's the deva technique that made your haircut come out bad, i think it's the stylist. just because someone took a one day class (which includes how to color), does not mean they understand the entire technique. there is more than where to cut the curl, the hardest part i think is how to blend in the entire head of hair..... some can take the little training they give and run with it, and some can't. and there are stylists who never had that training but instinctively understand curly hair.
if you liked the haircuts your previous stylist gave you, i'd go back to her so she could fix it.

etodd · 01-20-2012, 08:14 AM

thanks for the advice rbb! do you think there is some way I could get her to fix what I wanted? Or do you think she just doesnt understand the technique?

rbb · 01-20-2012, 08:20 AM

i would only go back to her if you feel it was a good cut just too long, did it fall nicely just too long? otherwise, i'd head as far away as i could! at this point you cut off a number of inches, so i don't know how much you have left to play around with chancing a 2nd bad haircut?

Lucky Charm · 01-20-2012, 08:30 AM

I agree with rbb. Last year a salon opened up not even 10 minutes away from my house. They posted that they were Deva cut certified so of course I had to try it out! The stylist actually finger combed my hair and obviously did not understand the concept of a deva cut. It wasnt awful, but not what a deva cut is supposed to be either. So now, rather than driving 10 minutes for a haicut, I drive an hour. So go to someone you trust... I wouldnt give that stylist a second chance.

etodd · 01-20-2012, 08:41 AM

Do you think there is some way I can explain to her how to fix it and put in more layers and leave it wispy at the bottom? Part of the problem now is that I dont really know how to say, what i want fixed, I just know I dont like it :-/

You girls might be right though, she did kinda finger comb my hair and then pull out a curl and cut straight (not what I heard a deva cut was supposed to be!) so ill prob head elsewhere. Just mad I spent so much money and now have to spend more getting it fixed!

I just got a Deva cut after years of getting either a Ouidad or regular cut. I HATE it! I mean like in a rage hate it. Not only do I hate the cut but whatever color he used on my hair totally fried it!! I hate the cut because it has no shape. It looks all one length which creates the pyramid look which I told him I did not want. Also, if I try to wear it any other way then the way it was the day it was cut..forget it, it's a mess! I tried a ponytail and I had random strands hanging over longer than the rest. The color was bad too. He left it on for 45 minutes and did not use the gel around my hairline so I had a nice black line around my head! Not sure what color line he used but my hair has NEVER felt so fried. I condition, give it treatments, etc and it still feels like straw. The place is in Philly (DeCarlo). The stylist was nice as could be but I just hate this cut. I think the salon uses a cheap color product since it was way cheaper than at any other place in Philly. I only tried this Deva since so many people rave about it. Oh and I hate the Deva products too. My hair felt like a brillo pad when I left the salon and it had no movement. Yuck! I will never stray from Ouidad again.

I'm sorry you had to go through a few days of hating your hair cut, but glad it seems to be working better now.

And don't worry, we've all been through the stress of a bad hair cut, only to discover that after a while, the hair recovers and it looks good
