I did it. I went to the salon, had a consultation, and ended up with a new haircut. During the consultation I had three stylists buzzing around me and touching my hair while throwing out various ideas and suggestions for a new cut. During this procedure I mentioned the fact that I would also be open to suggestions for color or highlights - just so long as it was something subtle enough to keep me from having to return to the salon every two weeks for the rest of my life for touch ups. Following that statement was the largest simultaneous gasp I�ve ever heard in all my life. The gasps were followed with things like, �No!, �Why?,� and, �There is no way I will allow you to cover up that color and natural highlights with something fake � do you realize how many people come in here and PAY to get their hair to look like yours?� Personally I don�t see what�s so great about my natural color/highlights but it was nice that they didn�t perform/charge me for a service they didn�t think I needed. I�m sure that any other salon would have been MORE than happy to tack on some more money to my bill. First �we� decided that bringing up the length in the back from my bra strap to sitting on my shoulders would be lighter, better for the summer, and more flattering to the shape of my face. Next �we� decided that having two layers as opposed to my usual 3-4 (and sometimes 5) would be best and certainly more age appropriate. Then the scissors came out and the snipping began. When the snipping was over my stylist showed me how to fix my hair in the mornings and told me that with curly hair I should really be using a wax/pomade-type product so I bought some of whatever it was she used and will try it out myself tomorrow. Now the moment you�ve all be waiting for � the before and after shots that I actually remembered to have Justin take before we left and after we got home. ----before---- and----after----I don�t know how I feel about it yet because it�s hard to form an opinion when it�s full of salon products and styled by another person. However, I take great comfort in the fact that if in the next couple of days I find that I don�t like it I can go back and have it fixed. Be sure to use cheesebook to tell me what you think of the new �style� � both positive and negative comments are welcomed...
