I've written those words maybe a dozen times over or more during the life of this blog, but they're still as true as the first time I wrote them. I didn't like my last haircut though, I paid a basquillion dollars and had 2 tones of blonde streaks put in... that went a little, well, awry. More brassy and yellow, and sort of a shade I thought of as Truckstop Waitress, than they should have been. Which the hairdresser then tried to fix by putting a toner over the top. A toner which made the colour flat, and well, gingery.
Gingers, don't get me wrong, I think that most redheads are hot. Really hot. Not me though, and not a good match with my natural dark ash blonde/light brown colour.
Anyhoo. My regular hairdresser was going to be unavailable for weeks, so I made an appointment with one of the others. We had some fun, and now I'm sporting a new look. In the interest of self exposure, here's a crappy bathroom pic so I can play Show & Tell.
This one I like. Short, sharp, a bit kicky, and with just a little bit of the borderline hatefull colour left. Then like co-conspirators, the girl who cut my hair this time and I made an appointment for next time. Like dirty cheaters. Yup, I'm dumping my hairdresser for another woman. I'd like to say that it's not her, it's me, but actually it's her.
In a weekend where I spent much of the time feeling emotionally fragile, and my self-esteem took a major slap-down (more on that to come), a fun haircut makes for a pretty good BandAid.

Oh, honey, whatever happened, you look mighty fine. And don't you ever forget: YOU ARE FABULOUS!
Thanks sweetie. You know, I am kind of fabulous. :)
Great do.. very snappy with that little mini mohican goin' on! ;-)
I would definately stick with this hairdresser... the do has shaved YEARS off your age (which isn't as backhanded a compliment as it sounds... you do look very youthful in said photo)... :)
Love, love love the hairdo! You look just marvellous. Beard trim brings it all home - so stylish!!
Sorry to hear about Pete but you are right, its better to have loved and lost...

Totally suits you! Where can I get equivalent awesome for girl hair? I'm so overdue for a new look.
Hey, thanks for the compliments everyone!
Jodie, it stops just short of a fauxhawk but it certainly gives a casual nod in that direction.
Yani, thanks! ...and no Photoshop!
Linda! Hey there, and thanks for the compliment.
Arj, oh god I HATE looking for a new hairdresser... so I was kind of lucky that I HAD to try someone new. It worked out well, but luck I think.
Looks good mate. Everytime I get a haircut I feel like I've had a makeover!!!
Sweet...and at least you still have hair to cut!
(Although lack of it does remove one hassle from getting out of bed in the morning...)
Hey Andrew, your adorable and have very sexy lips--yum!
Awww shucks, thanks everyone. You're all so sweet. Let's hug it out!
Single Guy, exactly. That's why we love Haircut Day!
Quite the stylin' clip. The question is can you shower, towel, go with it? Or rather were I to attempt a clip like that, would it work with my shower, towel, go approach to hair?
My verification word is "drawfkrr" - rather like a line from a Western.
Wowzers! Noooiiiiiice.
As luck or fate would have it, Mr. Alan was too busy for me last week, too, so I had a time with Miss Leticia (LaTisha?). LOVE her. Though no fair that I didn't end up as cute as you.
very kicky!
fresh!
clean!
crisp!
lovely :-)
Moonlight becomes you, it goes with your hair...
Ha! This is a shameless lovefest... AND I LIKE IT! Thanks!
Mel, a quick towel and a little product. Easy peasy.
LaTisha Michael? Please tell me you didn't get Feder-esque white boy corn rows?
Speedy, danke!
James, the moonlight matches the silver, right?
It's messy/sexy/dangerous. Very Crazy/sexy/cool.
