I'm Gaby, and I hate my hair.

I had it cut yesterday, and the stylist cut off too much from front. Now it's a disaster, a far cry from my last cut.

Is there anyway I can style this to make it look halfway decent?

*sniff* I miss my hair.

Your hair is similar to this picture http://www.hair-styles-1.com/short-hair-styles/index.php3?rep=short_hair_styles&image=short_blonde_side_parted.jpg - here
You could try combing it sort of forward like that.

Part it on the side and wear one side behind your ear like http://www.hair-styles-1.com/short-hair-styles/index.php3?rep=short_hair_styles&image=blonde_bob_side_parted.jpg - this one.

Or you could flip the ends upward with some product and a blow dryer, sort of like the 4th picture on http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip3912.htm - this page of Allison Mack.

Hmmmm got any picutres of what your hair looked like before the cut? The front looks much shorter than the rest of the haircut but it's hard to tell from those images. The suggestions that Susan W made above my post here are good ones but to get that particular look in the images she posted you'd need to take some more length off the back of your hair and I'm not sure if you'd wanna do that. The back looks quite layered compared to the font of your hair and why I don't know. Looks like your stylist might have tried to get creative and kinda jacked up your old haircut and that was the end result. Also the left side of your haircut looks slightly longer than the right side behind the ear maybe it's just the way the picture was taken.

If your unhappy with the haircut please go back to the salon where you had it cut and tell them. Ask them what they can do to fix it as possible solutions but only go with the decisions you feel comfortable with. If they want to take more length off the back and you don't want that then tell them NO! Don't be afraid to tell the stylist what you want or if something is too short when they first begin cutting. Communication is KEY! I don't quite understand stylists who try to get creative on clients and the end result is something the client doesn't want which is the situation you are in now. You can always just grow it back out to the length you had it but that depends on how much you cut off in the first place....hair typically grows 1/2" per month.

Let us know how you make out and good luck

Yes, you wouldn't look exactly like what's in those pictures, but these are things to do with your hair that I thought might work for you with what you have.  I would not suggest that you get more cut off if you are already unhappy with what is gone.
