Feel free to PANIC...this is NOT a drill!


Well folks, I finally did it. I took the big plunge or more appropriately...the BIG CHOP! I've always wanted to go into a salon and give them a very vague description of what I want and then let them just go for it on my hair (which is very surprising considering my emotions are almost completely correlated with how my hair looks :)

At any rate, I went into the salon today planning to "go crazy" and take off 4-5 inches. I told her that I wanted it shorter, but still vivacious and sassy! She said, "well I have an idea, but I think it'll involve a little more length coming off." She suggested I go for at least 8 inches off and to donate it. I had a panic attack, followed by complete agreement. This is basically what ALWAYS happens when I go to get a cut. I freak out, totally disagree with the suggestion (ie. BANGS) and then find myself nodding and saying, "sure that sounds great." Well before I could change my mind the hair was cut! Eight inches on the sides and TEN from the back!

You might think, what's left to cut, but there still ended up being QUITE a bit of hair on the ground when I left. It wasn't easy, but I think I really like it.

In case your thinking..."what, her hair wasn't really that long, was it?" Answer...yes, it was.

Coming soon....Preston's reaction!

Well, I haven't seen a way yet that you have fixed your hair that I haven't liked. It looks really cute. I'm waiting for Preston's reaction.

My second observation is that it makes you look a little more mature and sophisticated. Maybe it will give you some assertiveness on the job...eh?

Wow! I love it. Taki wants me to cut mine and I refuse...maybe someday.

Do people at salons know what Vivacious even means? Just a thought. But as for your hair it looks good. Way to put on the big girl pants and get it done!
