Help us decide what to do.
Okay, so, backstory:
Jackson went to one groomer for the first year and a half of his life. She always did a decent job, but his ears were always cut all weird. We switched to a mobile groomer in mid-2010 and I've always been very happy with how she's cut him (except for one time) but then she started doing the 'visor cut' (like straight across)... it always looks cute... for about two days, lol. Then the hair hangs in front of his eyes. His hair NEVER used to do this. It used to just... grow out. Now I can't seem to get rid of the bang look.
So I told her I wanted to stop doing the visor cut, which she was fine with, so now it's not so 'straight across' but it still begins to hang in his eyes fairly quickly after being groomed.
Example: this was him after he was groomed in January this year:

This was him not even two days later:

This is typically what he looks like most of the time now if I don't use some kind of water or gel to brush it back (pic was taken almost a month ago so it's grown out considerably):

At this point, do you think it's almost long enough to where it will go back with the rest of his hair and not hang in front? If I let it keep growing out...? When I push it back away from his face, it stays there for a bit, but then ends up falling back down. I do not want a topknot though so I'm not sure.
I'm kinda not wanting to use the same mobile groomer anymore, because I keep telling her every time "Still growing out those bangs..." but then I find I just have to start ALL over again because of the way she cuts them, they end up right back in his face. But otherwise she does a good job!! So I'm kinda torn, and I do like her.
I scheduled an appt on April 17th with a different mobile groomer (who I did use once, instead of the other girl, when we were in a bind. She did a decent job, but I didn't like the ears or how short his face was) but I am going to maybe show her the pic of what she did, and what I liked/didn't like about it?
Here is what this one mobile groomer did (who we only saw once):

(See what I mean about the face tho? A little bit too 'sunken in' maybe, and ears I think I prefer cut all the way down, no hair left on sides of ears).
I don't ever remember having so many issues with his hair ever, it used to just... grow out, and that was that, never had to mess with his hair in any way. Now it irks me so much to look at him and have his hair just hanging over his eyes! LOL but I don't want to be the annoying picky client either.
