To Cut or Not To Cut...

That's funny, Bobby V.

I've decided not to cut - length anyway, for a few reasons:

1. Talking to my best friend the other night she mentioned that she misses seeing me walk up the walk with my hair bouncing back and forth. I thought that was an odd thing to notice about someone, but it brings her comfort and I like that.

2. I wouldn't have anything to flip around when I dance with Lil' Mojo. I gotta have hair to pull off some of my dazzling moves. 

3. I like the way it flies out the window when I drive.

4. I like getting lost in it when the wind blows.

5. Without a pony...I wouldn't have anything to hold my baseball cap on when I'm hiking. LOL

I went a little shorter this weekend...and LOVIN' it!!! Now it only takes about 30 minutes to dry rather than an hour!

And yet again.

My mother's day present was a day at the salon.

I came home with a haircut that I simply ADORE! And for the first time in my life, I got about 8 foiled high lights (supposed to be caramel, but came out slightly more blonde). But, it looks pretty natural, I've been told.

It's very uplifting!!

This, of course, is Jessica Simpson...and my hair is still a bit longer, but this is the general idea -- I got some side-swept bangs cut in too!:

I bet that looks great on you. You make me wanna go get my hair cut again. I'm still searching for a salon that I like.

Your cut looks like it would be great for summer.

[Sunny]

Thanks, Mojo. The length seems like it'll be perfect for summer (if that ever really gets here) . I can still put it in a ponytail at the nape, the back of the head, or as an "updo". All requirements after having longer hair, huh?!?!?

But, it's really thinned out much more now with the many layers...and feels lighter.

And surprisingly, the bangs are long enough to still go back fairly well...but sweep across the forehead if desired.

GO FOR IT!!! HOOT HOOT HOOT!

Oh, the things that we could talk about for hours...

What salon do you go to up there?  I used to go to the one at the Plaza that Lukay ran.

[Sunny]

I used to go to one of Lukay's girls...followed her to a different salon that's on Market Street -- but she was really good with "razored" (& SHORT) hair cuts.

Since my decision was very impulsive this time, I simply went to Famous Hair. Cut, foiled highlights & style -- out the door for $45. Not bad & I think the girl did a great job.

There's always a risk you take going to a "walk-ins only" salon.

[kimmi]

Yes.  when I go to them now, I always ask for the black girls!  They don't hack away at my naturally curly hair!  they get it!

[Sunny]

Oh...you joke me up, kimmi. (that's oldest daughter's newest expression).

And I'm sure you get away with that, too....makes sense with the natural curl.

The key is finding a girl you like, if you can, at those places & getting to know when she's scheduled to work.

I guess another trick is where her chair is positioned. I always seem to get the "last chair" (or the newest girl at the salon). The girl I got appears to be the manager because it was the "first chair".

[kimmi]

There is a chain here called Mitchell's and they rope you in the opposite way.  They give you the number one girl but charge you the basic fee when you get your hair cut the first time.  THEN when you go back, you look at her "rating" and price range and you end up paying 3 times as much as you did the first time.  I only fell for that trick once!

[Sunny]

Sounds like a great 'bait & switch' technique...

[Sandy Eggo]

The last place I went to worked that way as well. The best person I've ever had cut my hair was a man in the town where I went to college. He was awesome. Then I met another stylist that I really liked even though she had a tendency to take off too much, just before I moved to CA. The cut was nice and grew out nice. I haven't met that person here. Everyone is SO quick to recommend this one or that one, but so far, I'm unimpressed.

I had the best gay hair dresser!!  When I first started going to him, he had just been dumped by his BF.  He cut and colored so well!  I loved going to him.  Then when he fell in love again, his color went to shit and he kept chopping away at my head!  I had to quit him!

Does anybody remember the Mullet haircut from the 80's???? That's what I call mine. LOL!!!! It looks like Markie  Post's hair when she was on " Nightcourt". The reason why is because, I'm stuck in the Way Back machine.  I cant even remember the last time, I went to get my hair done  That's probably why I still wear a Mullet.  I cut and color my own.
