About Haircutster
This site started with a bad haircut and a worse page of search results. I wanted one clear answer, will this cut suit my face, and will I actually keep it up, and instead found walls of jargon sitting next to pretty photos that explained nothing. So I began writing the guide I couldn’t find anywhere.
My name is Mary Perry, and Haircutster is what grew out of that frustration. I’m not writing from behind a salon chair. I’m an enthusiast who reads, researches, and tests looks, then puts the plain-English version here so you don’t have to dig for it.
What it’s for now
Every guide is built to help you make one real decision: what a cut actually involves, who it tends to suit, how much upkeep it honestly needs, and when a look is more trouble than the photo lets on. Curly, coily, fine, thick, straight, and wavy hair each get their own specific notes rather than a footnote at the end. When a job truly needs a professional, I say so, and I tell you what to ask for.
The point is simple: fewer regretted appointments, and more walking in already knowing what you want.
