Haircut

Many months ago… when I first moved to Dallas I needed a haircut and I didn't get one until just this week. I will admit that my hair was slightly out of control before I finally got it cut. I was so afraid that I would hate it that I put off getting my hairs did for over a year. Yes you did read that right I put it off for a year which means that the last time my hair was cut was April 2012… over 18 months ago. I finally decide to get my hair cut when I realized that it was taking my an eternity to get ready since blow-drying that much hair took forever.

Before… so stinking long

I asked around for a good hair salon and got lots of interesting answers and finally decided to try Toni&Guy. This salon has a scale so you pay more for people that have more experience. I think this is great because I don't really want someone just out of school. I found one that was pretty close to work and then put off calling for over a week. Then I bit the bullet and called and got an appointment for the next day.

As I walk in I thought I was going to pass out, what if it looked horrible? what if I get a bob? what if I look naked? There were so many panicking thoughts running around in my head that I just didn't know what to think. Finally this wonderful woman named Sandra came around the corner and brought me back.

She listened to what I wanted and when she cut my hair, she would cut a little off and ask if I liked it before taking more off the bottom. In the end I took about 4 inches off my hair.

In the past I would chop my hair off and then let it grow out. I did this because I was too poor to get it cut all of the time but now I think I can afford to cut my hair at the length that I actually like. Crazy! In the end I think this might actually be a little longer than I wanted it to be but that is OK next time I can just have her take a little bit more off.

Here is the reveal:

I am loving it

I am going to try and get a better pic but selfies are somewhat hard to take and still look flattering. This was before my big talk at Texas A&M, more about that soon.
