Do you have long hair but shaved nape of neck.

I fully support you doing whatever you want to do with your hair! And it always grows back if you don't like it!
That being said, I think cutting *that* much off is "the look" so it might be a little extra funky if you cut off much less. Like you had to get stitches or something on your head and they shaved you at the hospital? Like it's not as intentional.
Again, you do you, girl. Just thought this might be a perspective you hadn't thought of in making your plan.

I have seen that done several times, even like almost 30 years ago. One person said she did it because her hair was so thick, this thinned out the back nicely for her. Made sense to me.

Your girlfriend is a stylist? And she refused? I don't understand...unless something is outside of one's skill level, like a complicated color job, why wouldn't a stylist do it? I sometimes wish my stylist, also a friend, did talk me out of some things...lol, but she'd never refuse.

I have really long, really thick curly hair. The weight of my hair was ruining the hair at the top of my head when I put it up (breaking it and pulling it out). I have had an undercut for a couple of years now. When my hair is up it looks punky cute. When my hair is down, you can't even detect that I have it shaved under there. I have my husband buzzing it every couple of weeks for me. When it starts to grow out a tiny bit, it feels all yucky again. It's super easy to keep up I just put my hair up and he does it for me with the clippers.

I've seen some super cute undercuts with designs and color in them! My motto is always: it's just hair! It'll grow back. I am also the mom who lets her dd's cut and dye their hair whatever color they want. Have fun!!!

Funny, that's the agreement I have with my stylist. After the last time I asked for bangs and instantly regretted it (I mean literally as she was making the first cut I was sorry) and she reminded me that I don't like short hair around my face, I told her not to let me do that again. I love that she's honest with me. I may not always agree, but she's the professional, and I get a much better cut from her when I trust her. She'll do what I ask, as long as she doesn't think I'm going to end up hating it, but I've learned that when I tell her what to do, those are the haircuts I'm the least happy with. This last time, I told her I needed more layers, and shorter, because my hair just wasn't doing what I wanted. She sat me down and said, I think you need less layers. We need to grow some of these out. And I trusted her and she was right. I haven't been this happy with my hair in months.

She wouldn't refuse me anything, I don't think, but she would definitely argue with me. That's the beauty of seeing the same person for a long time. She knows me, she knows what I like and don't like, and she knows what my hair will do.

My 13 year old daughter has her hair undercut as well. She loves it, especially because her hair is sooo long and thick. It looks cute - she has a linear design cut into hers like the pics above. I think it will be a major pain in the ass to grow out, but whatever. It's not my hair!!

My teenager has hers cut like this, only hers goes all the way to the top of her ears, even in front of the ears. She loves it. Her hair lies nicer on her neck when she wears it down, and it's punky when she has it up (she also has it dyed orange). It suits her.

Way way back in my 20s I had my hair undercut. It was really thick at that time and fun. I went to a barber for mine, it was cheaper and he did a way better job of it.

Today at the Indiana State Fair, both my sister and I were complaining about how hot our hair was making us and that we should get matching undercuts. Lol
