Inspired by a recent question on the sub: what is the biggest haircut transformation you’ve done?
August 30, 2025
And did you do it at a salon or by yourself?

I went to the salon and just had her cut it really short like just past my ears. It was a bit of a rebellion cause my dad for some reason was really passionate abt not letting me cut my hair, so i saved up my allowance and paid for my haircut myself. I really liked it might go back to it soon.
Went from long hair, which was down to my ass, to a bob just by the chin
Went from a regular chin length bob to a longer pixie. Short on one side and the other side comes down to my cheekbone.
Went from long hair to having a buzz cut! Not by choice, but rather brain surgery.
I recently cut off 18” of hair. It was down to my waist, now it’s above my shoulders. I tend to grow it long and chop, so it’s nothing new, but it’s the most I’ve ever cut at once. I did it at the salon so I could donate it.
Long hair half way down my thighs to buzz cut. No I didn’t do it myself and I definitely didn’t tell the stylist to do it. This is what got I go going for a magazine ‘spring’ makeover spread and not asking beforehand what was going to be done – rookie mistake
I cried for weeks.
I shaved my head in April. Before I buzzed it it was a bit below shoulder length. That may have been the most drastic, but I have a long history of growing my hair long and cutting it short. I’ve had pixies, mohawks, undercuts, bobs, and just about everything in between.
I enjoy long hair because I love braiding it. Mohawk was probably my favorite, but I hated styling it.
When I was 19 I went from having super long hair to a short pixie cut. Never again. The only good thing that came from it was after I grew it out my hair became permanently wavy (it was super straight pre-pixie cut).
My hair was between my shoulder blades and I hacked it off to a pixie cut.
Mid back length to pixie in one go (at the salon of course!).
I had just moved to Southeast Alabama for graduate school and even though I’m from Southwest Virginia and I understand summer I did not understand Alabamian summer. I got that shit chopped off expeditiously and kept it that way for the whole 3 years I was there.
