13 Yr Old HATED Her Hair! My Fault Or Moms Fault?!

[@JanayMickles]

Should I have cut it shorter?

[@lisawesley7132]

No> The length on her is just right. Beautiful job as always.

[@Shortyb1977]

She is young not attached to her hair at this age is amazing! She definitely wanted a bob!!!❤❤❤

[@ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

i think it’s good that you listened to her mom & her as well. you cut it a little more shorter again just for her to see it shorter curled but her mom said she can come back & get it shorter, but i bet she’s gonna remember the bob she wanted 🤣

[@ME-vb6pq]

No I LOVE it that length. She’ll appreciate the length too as soon as she decides to whip that ponytail out! 😂 Personally I love everything about it! She looks beautiful.

[@nataliemartin9619]

Nope, it was fine where it was. Kids are so indecisive, it’s easier for her to have it cut where the mom wanted it and if she gets home and really wants it cut again then her mom can bring her back.

[@deirdrethompson4508]

This was because mom didn’t want to go shorter. Mom felt she was too young to decide on what was best. YOU DID NOTHING WRONG! Great finish 👏

[@dawnbrady684]

It's she's a teen. No one was going to get the cut right on her head. The struggle is real. Her hair is beautiful

[@TrangPakbaby]

Baby girl was heated at first 😂😂 we have all been there! You did an amazing job, Janay and mediated beautifully ❤❤

[@nickj12]

I think she looks beautiful, but I can relate to her struggle. I’ve been there.

[@TiTaughtYou]

Whew this takes me back to that era when my mom never let me do what I want to my hair! That was all mommy in the background lol

[@CircumstancesNeverMatter]

Her hair is just fine, smooth, and flowing she’s just being a child. 😂❤

[@mbyrd6713]

Aww man, I understand the struggle. My daughter wants to cut her hair off but we went through a lot to get it growing and healthy after relaxers broke it off, so I’m like noooooo. And plus, she’d make that choice and change her mind like 13 y/o girls do. Mom knows how those moods swings are. Beautiful job as always ❤

[@ChassityNOubre_88]

Oh Lord, this is me and my mom when it comes to hair... Especially, my natural hair, and I'm not even a teenager anymore. But I love short/shorter hairstyles. But mom always reminds me how I might not have that ponytail if I straighten it, etc. But you did an awesome job🖤

[@sparkle3000]

She has beautiful hair and you did an A+++ job as always. I'm so happy for her. 😊 What is the best hot comb brush she could use in Florida? Don't just let anybody touch your crown. It's sad jealous Dominicans purposely pull out Black Women's hair in NYC. It happened to me years ago, that's when I started watching Janay. 🌟 Now my hair is healthy, long and beautiful. I purchased her flat iron and Janay taught me how to do my own silk press, I wish I could visit Janay. One day! Thank you Janay. 💜

[@cass2883]

Beautiful silk press! And I love the song choice ☺️❤️

[@marywilliams2703]

JANAY I hope that you don't feel any way responsible for anything except that you did an excellent job as always, you perfect in hair care as well as cutting and trimming the hair correctly. Please please think on something else. The client had better be glad that she didn't go to some other stylist that I know and know of, she would rethink how she was acting. Tell. London that I said hello and god bless her. Love peace and blessings to y'all ❤❤❤❤❤ 💯 💯 💯

[@JordynDiorKnight]

Her hair looked very , very beautiful 😍❤️ and I loved the song that you selected for the video - very good 👍😊 , Queen Janey .

[@PathToAgile]

I believe the length she desires can be achieved when she reverses it back naturally. She has beautiful hair.

[@Babysista]

It looks healthy and amazing!!! It’s free flowing and shiny! Love it.😊 Great job Jenay.😊

[@ME-vb6pq]

Very healthy cut! Beautiful hair! 😍

[@queenstorm439]

I only wished I had that beautiful hair! ❤❤❤ its beautiful healthier vibrant love it! Janay you did a beautiful job! Heres your flowers 💐 💛 You asked should you have cut it shorter No! Dont go against her mom wishes that was very respectful of you Thank You. 😊

[@breemiller5164]

It turned out really pretty. Once she goes in that water her hair will be the length she wanted. Enjoy the curls. When school starts again maybe her mom will consider the bob. She might not even want it once she sees the growth.

[@tamikopayne6481]

No fault to you Janay. You did what was best. After her trip if she still wants more cut, then give her what she wants.

[@kyvtana]

i get where she’s coming from it still happens to me when my and my mum go out for a maintenance day, because she’s the one styling her hair when it’s curly she’ll know where it feels weird but you did nothing wrong she’s still young she can choose when she gets older

[@hana518]

Simply amazing 🤩

[@donnielindon-em6du]

It was amazing

[@HairbyDomm]

Girl my young girls literally cry when they get a lil body curls cause mom wanted it and they wanted it straight 😂 pray for us stylist

[@Sunny-tc3ul]

When I was a teen I loved my thick lengthy hair. Did she want a bob cut?

[@queenstorm439]

Where are you located Im not on Instagram.

[@RoseGolden0]

She is 13, like my niece. You cannot make them happy. Lmao. Her hair is beautiful. It’s the teen mindset!!

[@mbyrd6713]

[@HairByPierre]

I would’ve let her cut her hair. A lot of black women/moms are scared of cutting black hair as a trauma response. It will grow back healthier. She’s doing it for good reason she wants her curls back, summer is the best time to do it.

[@michelleb6363]

Trauma thing! It ain’t all that serious. The girl is only thirteen and mom didn’t want her hair cut off, nothing wrong with that. I have a daughter that age and no, no, and no she is not cutting her hair off that short at her age sorry! She wanted her curls back but all her spit end were cut off so her curls will be back, but this young girl didn’t understand that. She also doesn’t understand that when they do come back it’s not going to lay down like it was before with it being shorter. Her mom made the right decision and the stylist did amazing. In the end the young girl loved it.❤ Congratulations by the way! When you have your baby you’ll understand what I mean; especially if it’s a girl.

[@RoseGolden0]

@@HairByPierre that’s not even the case. You cut their hair and then next week they’re crying because it’s too short or not laying the way the want it. They are kids and don’t make the right decision. A lot was cut off. Any more and it wouldn’t be able to be put in a bun or pony and she would be upset.

[@HairByPierre]

@@michelleb6363 your energy in your response proves my point… Edit to your edit: Thanks for your congrats however I had a mom that was very confident and liberal and freely cut her hair herself and taught me that hair grows back and should be used to express one’s self. Ive cut my hair many times in my lifetime and while I’d love my daughter to grow her hair long, if she damaged it and wanted it collarbone I would let her and help her grow it back the way she wants, curls poppin and fully healthy.

[@HairByPierre]

@@RoseGolden0 hmmm I remember being 13. 13 year olds aren’t 3. They’re more than capable of knowing what they want. If she wants it short let her do it, it’s not an arm, it willllll grow back I promise, then if she doesn’t like it she’ll know that length isn’t for her. Again this goes back to my original point, *a lot of black women/moms have traumatic fear in their heart when it comes to cutting black hair* , the defensiveness you have to my post supports this. I said what I said 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@Misscovergirl90]

I don’t understand why either. I could understand not wanting her to dye it but a couple of inches off won’t hurt. It will probably be less maintenance.

[@shay8727]

I understand her. When you see your hair in its natural state and see all those stringy ends it’s disheartening!

[@cherylrleigh1912]

Beautiful results!!! I appreciate her dedication to trimming her split ends, regardless of the length she ends up with. Many of us prioritize hair length over its health, forgetting that regular trims, like once a month, actually promote stronger and healthier hair growth in the long run.

[@tiffanyweston3808]

Truthfully it seems like it was the mom who didn't want to let go of the length babygirl was just trying to have healthly hair, you did a great job in the end and she seem happy

[@JG_SmileSOBright]

My mama wouldn't let me cut my hair when I was that age either. I wanted the Halle Berry. As soon as I got grown, I cut it OFF! Been Anita Baker ever since 😂

[@ScoobyDanielsx3]

Lil sis knew what she wanted, and she said what she said lol. She was choosing health over length ❤

[@darygal64]

You cut it like her Momma wanted and since Mama paying LOL They can duke it out on the way home! 😂

[@TK-sz4ec]

AMEN!🤣

[@LaZainabou]

With the curls, it hits where she wanted it to. I love how she was posing and enjoying her hair.😂😂😂😂

[@bettemiddler7756]

Its her mom, the girl wanted it shorter, and I feel like she should have let her make the decision. Hair grows back and it wasn't a huge jump from this.

[@shirleywatts99]

Of course it came out great but she wanted to collar bone which isn't that drastic so mom should have let her do it.

[@user-zx5xw4yw2e]

Nope. Mom should not have. She is Mom n she knows best. When she wants a ponytail she'll be glad she has the length.

[@joefrancis5286]

She's like me. Once its damaged I want it gone.. I no longer study length. It looks good though.

[@NikB714]

Moms should of let her doing it. Not a big deal. It would of grew back

[@thehairtherapist_]

My mom let me cut my hair short for the first time at 15. And I was just like this young lady. Lol. I was more than eager to cut all that damage completely off! I didn't care nothing about no short hair, I just wanted healthy and cute. Even the stylist asked if I was sure like 3 times before she did it because I was going so short, and she thought my hair was too pretty to cut off like that. I was ecstatic though. That was the first I could remember having all healthy hair on my head. And it grew so fast right back because it was healthy and easy to maintain and take care of. I hope she's able to cut it as short as she desires soon...

[@Erickaaaaaaa]

Teenagers 🤷🏾‍♀️🙄. Her hair is beautiful!!👏🏾

[@BlackAndHonestEducation]

Mama said ok you can be bald headed. I was weak.

[@AlegnaAjai]

My mom couldn’t have cared less how I cut my hair when I was growing up. As long as she didn’t have to do it she was cool 😂she basically wanted a bob so she could bobbiana all summer 😂😂 I think tighter curls would have tricked her into liking it until the curls dropped

[@GodFavorsMe444]

Janay be hooking these heads up frfr!!!! I love it!!!

[@tifmat82]

Her mama knows she wears alot of ponytails and is foreseeing a problem. She wanted that tictoc blunt bob cut that the new rave now. I would’ve let her cut it. It will grow back.

[@miriammccarty4373]

I feel like this was a trauma response. It will grow back. There's no point in holding on to damaged hair. Now there is also the case of stylist over cutting whether unintentionally or sadly intentionally, but everyone knows Janay isn't that type of stylist.

[@MsRobin-rt4jm]

I love it..did you cut it? Looking like Ashley Banks

[@djlyons]

My mom was like this! Lol I cut it short behind her back.

[@TheSTALLIONESS]

I feel like when you have long hair (and young), you can go halfway, wear that awhile, and go shorter after. I didn’t start cutting my hair from super long to super short (Halle Berry) cuts until I was like 11th or 12 grade. Not sure how old this girl is. The hair is absolutely gorgeous though.

[@qwietstormz]

Nobody's fault, Queen. That was 100% teenage angst 😅 Her hair is gorgeous. Once it reverts and she tries to get it in a ponytail, she's gonna be glad she didn't go shorter. You did an amazing job as always.

[@coreysbaby3691]

Her hair is beautiful you did nothing wrong🫶🏿🫶🏿🫶🏿❤️❤️💯

[@pamelamccleary1460]

You do good job you or the best❤❤❤❤

[@skizbees]

I think she should go shorter if she wants. Education about maintaining her hairstyle is probably what mom wants, but another argument may come up over perceived shortness of the hair when it's back curly. Enjoy the cut in the meantime.

[@tyrarenae3486]

Girl, you did a beautiful job as usual, don’t worry! ❤

[@everythingtypicalm4911]

Fabulous Job😍

[@debrasmith4623]

You did a Beautiful job 👏

[@christymarie12]

Never your fault Janay because you always show up and show out. Both were right not to go further with the cut. Let her come back if she wants to go shorter. Beautiful job!!!!🌺

[@katyarnold-ji8sv]

I love!! your 13 year old client silk press so pretty❤❤❤

[@debiseeu1620]

What do I think? I think she is thirteen. They don't like anything their parents want them to do. You know you did a great job. She’ll go home and style it. She'll get a bunch of compliments from her friends, and she'll think she is beautiful. Thirteen 🥴

[@leia5678s]

She's adorable, she looks like a baby Rihanna.

[@Honeychilecrafts]

Coming to Florida it's definitely going to shrink 😫. It's hot and raining down here.

[@LivingInTheShade]

No one is at fault. I think mum was right not to cut her hair any shorter. The little girl isn't really thinking about when her hair reverts back to natural that is will be shorter.

[@rachellegoodwin4868]

She sounds like my daughter my daughter is 19 years old she's into anime and she did not want her hair going down her back she acts are beautician to cut it above her shoulder I'm hurt I want her hair to be down her back but it's her decision it's hair it's going to grow back and this client her hair is very healthy and like you said when she comes back and cut it shorter

[@reneemosley8363]

Mom wasn't having it LOL. You were very diplomatic and tried to let her ease into her decision because once it's gone, you can't reattach it lol. Her hair looks very healthy and doesn't seem to have a problem flourishing 😊

[@Shortyb1977]

Yeah the Dominican did the same to my hair! I just took scissors and cut of my one str8 ends for real!! Can you tell me what paddle brush that is?? I want my hair cut too, but mom’s ain’t having it and I am grown!!

[@JordynDiorKnight]

And she's very , very pretty 😍❤️ and she has great 😃👍 skin . And starting her off at 13 getting her hair done will make her want to het it done more.

Problem here is: who is the PARENT, these children have no type of Respect for What Adults say anymore & that is a Major Issue, Especially when they aren't paying for ANY DARN THANG!!!!!! 😖😤😡🤬

[@LI8A__noir]

I don’t think it’s that deep….she’s simply vocalizing her thoughts and feelings. Nothing she said was disrespectful or nasty to either woman. The real problem is authoritarian parenting (speaking from experience) when parents punish their children for speaking their minds or for having a personality they don’t like. Then wonder why the child is scared to speak up if something terrible happens to them-they’re scared to get in trouble! It’s okay there was friction about the haircut. No one was swearing, yelling, or doing too much. Children need to go through this to know how to facilitate problem solving

[@tboykin13tb]

@@LI8A__noir, Feel how U want to feel, U have the right to, just like I do, but look @ the state of the 🌎🌍🌏 now-a-days & U can see how Parents not being Parents & allowing their Children the rights to say anything they want to say or do what they want to do has gotten them when it comes to living in the Realness of the World!! 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@keeetaaa]

Not that deep RELAX

[@LI8A__noir]

@@tboykin13tb 😂😂😂😂 I genuinely got a good laugh from that, so thank you. The state of the world in terms of parenting is not because of proper conflict resolution between children and parents. Again, this situation isn’t that deep

[@tashacarolable]

You honored the Mom wishes without compromising too much of her expectations. You did an excellent job. Her hair looked beautiful maybe she’ll be receptive to it once she gets compliments from her peers. I think you handled this like a professional.

Your professional advice was spot on! Her hair looked BEAUTIFUL!
