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!

Every time I saw a pic of you with long hair, I confess I thought WHO IS THAT? Because to me you will always be a short-haired gamin.

I'm accustomed to you with short hair so it seems like old times to me.

Well hair that short is bloody brilliant looking on you so how great is that? *twirls you*

I've cut my hair off that short a few times despite the fact that is looks awful on me (curly hair/melon head)just because it feels so good.

Look at you and your bad self there, darlin'! Looking very dapper and swish, I must say.

I *much* prefer you with short hair. I think the new cut looks lovely. :-)

I'm a short-hair person myself. Welcome back to the fold! The cut looks great.

It looks great.

It looks awesome! :D Yes, I think you definitely suit it better short - you're so lucky! I don't suit very short hair, it makes my face look like a tomato!

Oh, look at you! It's adorable! I love it. Can I say it makes you look so pretty and young. You're like a sweet pixie here. *bg* What did Ros say to the new mommy look?

Wow, that looks terrific! Good job.

[beledibabe.livejournal.com]

Adorable! I ♥ it!

The short hair looks fabulous on you - you've got the right shape face for it and it really suits you. It looks so pretty ♥

Wahh, no matter how often I reload I can't get the "after" picture to finish loading. So, I see some background.... But I can imagine! *g* Among other things, I'm also one of those who looks better with short hair, but did the long hair thing for a bit. I am never going back. *g* Enjoy the freedom!

(And I will try to look at this properly in a few hours...)

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*)

The new haircut looks fantastic. I had long hair for a while (many years back now) but once I got it cut short that was it, I'd never go back :D.

Wow, no comparison. Short hair IS YOU.

[soundofthesurf.livejournal.com]

And it looks utterly awesome!! (Bit envious, though: you can wear very short AND long! Wish I had hair and a head like that.) And YAY for brilliant new stylist, life is nicer with a good coiffeur, innit? :D

[norfolkdumpling.livejournal.com]

Oooh - I like it! The short cut really suits you :)

[kortirion.livejournal.com]

Keep the short hair - much more distinguished. The long hair was just 'hair', but the gamin pixie cut is Style with a capital 'S' :)
