Haircut dream meaning is explained below using 4 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.
Interpretation 1 — Dr. Mıchael Lennox
Hair is a symbol of attractiveness and strength, so a haircut is the act of attending to these notions and keeping them in the best possible state.
If the haircut is extreme, you may be experiencing a drastic diminution of your sense of personal attractiveness and / or personal power. Such an image could also be revealing a desire to shift how you are seen in the world in a dramatic way by no longer relying on ways of manipulation that don’t feel authentic anymore.

Interpretation 2 — myjellybean
To dream that you OR someone else is cutting your hair, it symbolizes that you are experiencing a loss in strength. You may feel that someone is trying to supress you. This dream can also mean that you are reshaping your thinking to eliminate negative attitudes or habits.
If you are cutting someone else’s hair in your dream, you are being too pushy about forcing your opinions on other people.
