I just received digital photos of an Italian friend of mine who has a doctorate in architecture. She decided to cut her red hair and asked me what I think. I've told her (IMO) it was better before. However, as this is the short haired board I expect most of you will revel in the change.

Also a short hair lover but do not like this look.

 Man,she had some really beautiful hair! I wonder why she decided to go that short from the pics you showed us,that is pretty drastic.
It doesnt look bad this way...it just makes her look like a different person. maybe that's what she was going for?
I do like it better longer.

It did look better long. I were to cut her hair I would have had the length just above the shoulder and lots of layers and movment forward to frame the face. Whats cut is cut it's all in the grow out mode thats make her look and feel HAPPY.

I just wanna add I dont like how thin this makes her hair look...you can practically see scalp in the middle.

It does seem strange that when her hair was long it looked pretty thick but now that it is short it looks rather thin.  I thought the opposite happens when you go from long to short.  Maybe her styling products are the problem.  I think the short cut could look good but I am not sure about the styling.  Maybe less of a "wet" look and a bit more fluffy would be better.  In the before pictures it looks like she has quite a bit of wave.  The short cut should take advantage of that.

I liked her hair when it was longer, but at least she tried short hair unlike alot of girl who moan about long hair but never cut it.  If the style was different it may suit her more, but longer hair is definately more her.
