What I Did on My Lunch Hour

[przed]

I've been wanting to cut my hair short again for ages, but since my old stylist disappeared into whatever black hole stylists disappear in, and I wasn't absolutely thrilled with the replacement dude a friend recommended, I've been holding off. But someone at work goes to a salon mere blocks from the office and got a really nice cut, so I thought I'd give her gal a try.

I'm so glad I did, and not just because I can pull out this icon again.


Here's the before picture:




And here's the after.



The long hair was fun while it lasted, but I have to say I'm happy short-haired me is back. It feels utterly awesome! And I really like the new stylist. Like my much missed previous stylist, she's a funky hipster chick with piercings and tattoos, and just a nice person on top of it. So, hoorah for the new haircut!

I think the short hair looks fab! (and, hey, cool, that's what you look like *g*)

I have very long hair which is a bugger in the heat but easier to tie back for work. I wear a long ponytail and sooner or later one or more people in all the departments I've worked in have developed habits of coming up to me and tugging it like a bell-pull when they want something *g* (I like it, 'tis affectionate *g*)

Thanks! I'm sooo glad I finally got it cut again. Pre-Ros, I always had it short, but post-Ros scheduling haircuts kind of got away from me, and I thought I'd experiment with the long hair thing for a while. Having found a place I can get my haircut during lunch is making me very happy.

Tying back long hair definitely makes it easier to handle--when mine got really long this winter I loved putting it in braid, just 'cause I could--and I love the idea of your co-workers using your pony-tail as a bell pull to get your attention. 'Tis definitely affectionate. *g*
