Bad haircut

My cousin is a stylist so my parents continually take me to him to get my haircuts. Every time he cuts my hair he butchers it... It makes me so mad... I ask him to thin it out and trim the split ends and he cuts it way shorter than I like it. It wouldn't make me nearly as mad if he didnt have a specific degree in cutting and styling hair. It makes me even more angry because, being a stylist, he should have experience with long hair...
