shave and a haircut

I recently chopped about 6 inches off of my hair. After all of the upset with my job, plus weeks of sunshine and cherry blossoms, I needed a change. I wanted to feel like I had, you know, SOME control in my life. (The classic reason for major hair changes!) I went to Salon in Vogue, this Aveda training salon. Haircuts are only $20 and they give you hand and scalp massages. The downside is that you sometimes get really nervous new girls cutting your hair, and the your concerns about her ability to avoid bubble-bobs effectively cancel out the spa treatment. Or at least that’s what happened to me. My lady was so fussy I thought I would have a heart attack. Her name was Tiffany. She asked me if I wanted my hair stacked in back. You know, like in the early ’90’s. Dear God.
In the end she actually gave me a haircut I like pretty well. Here are some before and after shots:


(I’m just learning how to do links- pretty cool, huh?)
So, new hair, new me, I guess. As for the “shave” part of the subject line, that was a hoax. I haven’t shaved (my legs) in 6 years. Sorry to fool you all. Even without the long locks, I’m still a hippie-mama in my heart!
