I try to avoid using epithets like that if I can. But every now and then I do, and it's not distracting, and I certainly don't think it makes my writing "bad". If my writing's bad it's because of something else. Not one or two epithets in a 5,000-word one-shot.
I do get sick of overuse of them, if that's what people generally mean. "The brown-haired boy" followed shortly after by "the swordsman" followed by "the nurse" gets really annoying really fast. More so when the author is describing "obsidian orbs" or calling a character with blue hair a "bluenette".
So I partly agree; I think a lot of authors overuse epithets! In fact, a lot of stories that use epithets would be better off replacing them with a name or he/she/whatever instead. But I disagree with some of the comments here that epithets are bad and should never, ever be used.
My two cents. :)
