I declared a hair emergency!
I had to, it was frightening. I have decided "growing out" is for the birds. What was I thinking? I had not cut my hair, well other than teeny tiny trims, since November of last year, and yet - still no great hair, just 1/2 grown out uglies.
For awhile, I joked that I was looking like Jim from The Office. He is so darn cute, I wasn't. It wasn't funny.
"Beer me a haircut!"
Then it grew into Joan Jett, back in the "I love Rock and Roll" days. Most recently I was resembling Shaun Cassidy , like when he was a Hardy Boy - am I dating myself? ...I was about to enter Leather Tuscadero territory (who is slapping there leg twice and making a gun with there pointy finger?).
"It" got so bad that last weekend my husband had a work function and I said "let's go home" when we got into the building. I sucked it up but could not stop thinking how my very first impression on his new, wonderful co-workers would be this bad hair - how ridiculous, how desparate, how I needed a hair cut.
So on Monday I started making some calls, come hell or high water this hair was gonna go. I located Anada Spa and Salon, with a referral from my sister. It had to be - I needed a new set of eyes to look at this mop after my most recent near-mullet disaster. I chose Friday to carry out my mission. I took a day off of work to reinvent myself. I met Ana who helped me shed the extra inches of
When all was said and done, I would have asked Ana to marry me had I not already been spoken for, and had I had the appropriate plumbing. She is a miracle worker. I got a kick ass head massage, dropped 3 inches of hair and got color plus highlights to boot. Wow - what a little hair color and a dollop of pomade can do for your mood. I've been feeling plain ugly since I put my back out - feeling waaaay sorry for myself and my limp locks were merely the icing on the miserable cake. Yesterday I kicked the cake to the curb and got back to me. After a trip to Aveda, I'm me + $60 of hair care products. I

Yay! You deserved a good haircut! I love the way a new haircut makes me feel... it makes me want to get an appointment :)
Hooray for the scalp massage. And the new look! Do we get to see pictures? (Of you, not Jim.)
Oh I'm glad it was everything you hoped it was be, now we just need to see the beautiful new you :)
good for you! but now i wanna see pics of this fab new 'do!
Good for you!! You do deserve it. It's always such a nice feeling.
It must be the weekend for it, because that's what I did yesterday.
By the way you asked about MS3. I surrendered. To much for me and I didn't like the direction it was heading.
Yah you!! But I agree, we need a good visual. :)
Shaun Cassidy, too funny! At my worst I had a shag that resembled Jody Foster during her fat stage...
Leather Tuscadero -HILAROIUS. What a mental picture. Isn't it amazing what good cut and color hair can do for your mood?
This is so funny because last summer I ended up with the same Jim haircut. I don't know how it happened because I did not show my stylist a photo of Jim's hair. Yet, that's what I got. And I grew it and grew it until I got a magic haircut last December that fixed it, and I haven't cut it since. Because my new stylist is in NJ and I live in Canada. I'm afraid to go anywhere else. Heh.
Thanks for the nice comments about my spinning!
I just got a big ol' hair boost too, by cutting the shortish-longish mop that I've been sporting for a number of months to a short short 'do that I used to have years ago. I'm giving my hairstylist free reign for awhile, and I think she's liking having the creative license!
Oh no! Now I have no hope, I am trying desperately to convince myself to grow my hair out. :D
