bad haircut

Regrettable styling mistake

A bad haircut is one that looks unflattering, uneven, or poorly executed—whether from a stylist's error, miscommunication, or unfortunate choice of style.

The phrase often carries a note of resigned humor since hair grows back: I'm wearing a hat until this bad haircut grows out.

Someone described as having a bad haircut may simply have an outdated or unfashionable style.
