Kate Gosselin recently told Entertainment Weekly that her spiky, asymmetrical hairdo reflects her "attitude," but that "it's not going to work for everybody."

Celebrity hairstylists, however, don't think the cut works at all.

"The style seems almost punk 1980s, which might be cool if it was 1985 and she wasn't a mother of eight," Jessica Gillin of NYC's Sally Hershberger Salon tells Usmagazine.com.

See the scariest Hollywood hair of all time!

Gillin's gripe? "The back is way too short," she tells Us. "It is almost a men's clipper cut."

Gosselin would look cute with a pixie cut, but "she'd have to cut the front shorter," says Gillin. If she wanted a bob, "she'd need more length in the back."

Right now, Gosselin just looks like she "has two haircuts going on that don't blend at all," says Gillin.

Says Valery Joseph, owner of Valery Joseph Salon in NYC: "The only aspect of this look that works are her side bangs. But her smooth, long bangs just do not match with the short, spiky back."

Joseph adds that the look is "definitely not appropriate for a woman of that age." (Gosselin is 34.)

Look back at photos of Jon and Kate through the years

Joseph jokingly calls the look "the modernized version of the mullet -- business in the front, party in the back."

Look back at reality romances gone bad

Matthew James Fugate of NYC's Sam Brocato Salon tells Us there is a plus side to Gosselin's 'do: It won't take long to style.

"Hold your super long bangs in your hand," he jokes, "and put the rest of your hair in a salad shooter."

    Kate, I am a CRRN, Certified Registered Rehabilition Nurse. Only say that because I know you are a nurse as well. I worked OB/GYN/Neo for 10 years while I was raising my children. I divorced approx 10 years ago. I had married at age 18. I knew I did not have the love for my husband I knew I had to have. But, I could not reconcile destroying my 2 children's life for my possible interests.

    I thnk people are hateful. If you don't like her haircut don't get it for yourself. This is a woman who didn't even have a hairstyle when the show started. She likes it, it's easy for her, so let it be. I cannot get over the way people are picking her apart.

    I had this same cut in high school, and usually I think it looks cute on her. But there really is just way to much heaviness going on to the one side; she's gotta get that thinned out.
