Getting a hair cut is always risk especially if you are trying out a new hairstylist. We recently discovery a hairstylist near our home. The biggest advantage is that she cuts hair super fast. For men, 4 minute per hair cut and it is cheap. I had send hubby, my son, my daughter and my mom to her as a guinea pig. All of them were satisfied with her. So I gave her a try. I didn't quite like the way she did it with mine because the layer she did was a bit too harsh. Hubby had convinced me to go to her again. He said since she is cheaper and faster, maybe we can afford to tweak it till we are satisfied. Sounds good, right? Well, the thing is that once you cut it too short, you can't do anything but waiting for it to grow back. So I am really kicking myself for giving her the second try after not totally impressed the first.
So here is a backlot OOTD picture before the haircut. It has seem that the navy/martime style is in season now. This is my take on it with what I have.

On the same topic of hair, my daughter is very fascinated by the Rapuzel story even though she hasn't watch the movie yet.
This is actually supposed to be a puzzle, because she hide her name in the picture, Can you spy the letters? She is very pround when my attempt of finding the letter V fails the first few time. Then of course, I thought the unicorn was the letter E.
Just a quick edit for today: Lisa from CONFESSIONS OF A CALL CENTER GAL just awarded me with the Stylish Blogger Award. What a surprise! Thanks Lisa, I am so flattered. I will have to wait for tomorrow to do the rest with what you supposed to do with the award, but I am so happy to get this award. It is a nice pick me up.
oh,how come haircuts are so hard? I used to think they should be able to just look at you and magically know your hair. But I finally found someone great, who knows how to cut my hair, and even then some cuts just aren't as magical...
ReplyDeleteI love your daughter's drawing- it's beautifully detailed. You should put it on a t-shirt!
Back when I lived in the SW, it took over two years and five different stylists before I found someone who seemed to "understand" my hair. Trying someone new is always scary!
ReplyDeletelove the new hair cut. I think it makes you look younger, shave off ten years. I couldn't tell which was you and which was your daughter ;-)
ReplyDeleteSarah: I love your hair! It is very cute! I had always like that kind of haircut but my hair is too stiff and I felt my feature is not strong enough to bring it together.
ReplyDeleteLisa: I am glad you find someone understand your hair. I should just stick with the one I knew instead of looking for deals...
Lisa: no, this is not the new hair cut. I haven't show u the new hair cut yet. haha...
Oh no, sorry that you weren't happy with the haircut/s Inkmark. I think you just need to "shop" around for a new hairstylist. And remember that a more expensive one may not be as good as a cheaper one. I used to pay a lot for haircuts, now i just go to a local (cheap) one down the road and he takes his time and the results are to my standard. Also, make sure you tell the hairdresser that you DO NOT want anything too "different" to what you have now, if you don't want it too harsh. I learnt this the hard way and a few years ago this hairdresser cut my hair really short, and extremely layered - he was trying to be "creative", but all i wanted was something classic. I was so disappointed!
ReplyDeleteBut don't worry inkmark, your hair will grow out in time, especially in the summer months.
Jen: Thanks for your advice. I guess most of the time I tie my hair back so it is not too noticeable. The biggest problem is with the bangs. I really have to blow dry it hard to side ways or it lays flat in the front makes me look silly.
