get a great haircut

I want to have long hair. I miss long hair. But I want to look like a grown up as I turned 40 this year. So finally I got a hairchop. Alice made it really layer-y and with bangs. I like it most days, though it looks best a couple of days after washing.

But I still wonder if I will ever have really long hair again.

...i actually got a great cut at great clips of all places! (considering how much i have spent for cuts in the past)

i’ll go back, hopefully she still works there.

I was thinking for a long time to lose the (&**(% ponytail and have a haircut, any haircut as long as it looks like something!!!

It’s not THE perfect haircut, but it’s a nice change and I like it, so I’m marking this one as complete :)

Tuesday morning!

Got my hair cut today, and as luck would have it, an old friend was there working who always does a great job. I didn’t do anything drastic, but it is a great cut nonetheless, and still long enough for hubby.

It is always scary when you go to get a haircut. Currently my hairstyle is pretty simple with long layers, problem is my hair is now almost midway down my back and badly needs a trim just to keep it healthy looking.

I have had so many horror stories with my hair..one time I went in determined to get my hair cut shorter, like into a bob, and the hairdresser in limited english said repeatedly, “no! no! Like ‘Touched by an Angel!” and kept it long, refusing to take off any more inches and began using the curling iron all over it (my hair hates curling irons, the curls last less than an hour). Anyhow, as soon as I washed the hair for the first time…disaster. It just wasn’t a good wash and wear cut for a working mom. Maybe a primping cheerleader, but not a working mom. Sigh….hoping for the best today!

It’s gotten too long, and when it does I default to the same old easy half updo day in and day out. BORING! Need a bit of pizzaz! Perhaps this weekend…

I got a really short cut last fall. It really worked for me. I was trying to go back to my natural hair color, which could only be achieved by growing my hair out. I didn’t dye it the whole summer and I cut all of the died hair off before school started. I’m glad that I did it. I got a lot of compliments and I look a lot older. It also compliments my face because I have small features. And I love spiking my hair :D.
But I was totally freaked out throughout the whole haircut process. Change scares me.

i got a nice, crisp and short haircut. my bro was shocked, i could tell by the look in his eyes when he first saw it, even though right after that he said, “nice”. that liar. (he believes that women look better with long hair. oh well).
yeayea, it’s a boyish haircut but so what. i love it when my hair is dried; it naturally curl up around ears and clowny, smiley face.
i like it. i like it a lot, no matter what. :)
so if you’re getting that haircut, that you’re doubting, i say go for it. so what? try something new and love yourself for that.

A lovely young woman named Mae transformed me on Saturday. I went from waist-length hair to an ear-length bob. She kepy asking “are you sure you want it this short?” I said yes. I think I have lost 3-5 pounds from it, and it is much easier to take care of—especially after swimming!

LOVE IT.
