Unless your hair is less than a couple of inches long it could be cut again by a different professional. My hair is medium length and I usually cut it myself, I decided right before Christmas to treat myself and the lady who cut my hair butchered it. It took me several times of cutting it myself to get it somewhat back into shape. She also cut my 3yr.old grandsons and we had to give him alsmost a burr to get it to one length all over. I have a round face and am overweight so if my hair had to be really short I would think it always looded awful. So I think I would try really hard to find a style I could tolerate until I could get it back longer again.
If your hair is that short now then I think you might be able to find some cool things to do. I don't know if you remember Susan Powter or not but she used to be a weight loss "guru", she had lost hundreds of pounds and had horrible self esteem. She kept her hair in almost a burr and had awesome style. I am including a link to some pictures of her, if I had to have short, short hair then I think I would like my hair to look like hers. Trying out new things can also be a blessing. It may be you find something you would have never tried and really like it. Like spiked hair, color tipped ends, chunky stripes, hair color can add so many demensions,

If it's a bit longer then there are lots of cute styles to choose from. Think Hallie Berry, Meg Ryan, Rhianna,

Then here are styles of all sorts, very short, short, medium, long, etc...you can always pick a style you like and take a picture to a different stylist and tell them you want your hair to grow out into that style and then let then work on your hair as needed until it gets where you want it.

I hope you find a solution that makes you feel good about yourself. Trust a professional with your hair and if that doesn't work out then keep trying until you find one that is awesome.
