Title: Got A Hair Cut!
Post by: Julie Marie on March 24, 2007, 03:23:54 PM
Okay, actually it was a hair styling.  This was my second one.  The first time she really couldn't do all that much because the hairs around the face needed to grow out some more.  But this time she really took her time and it came out great!  Right at the end, I reluctantly asked her to cut it shorter in the back.  I really liked it longer but I've been in the office the past two weeks and will be for another three weeks and I've been very self conscious about my long hair.  (I used to be able to hide it under a hard hat.)  Now that I look at it I think it looks more feminine than if I left it long.

This was the first time in my life I've had my hair done in a feminine style.  I am finding myself more confident about my looks.  And when I style it for work, I think it looks pretty passable, as a guy cut that is.  I wonder if I'm fooling myself again.   ::)

Probably  :)

Anyway congrats on the first "Decent?" cut... can we call it that?  Are you going to post a pic of it for us any time soon?

Yes, a pic. I still don't think you actually pass as a guy. I'd be willing to bet you won't change my mind with any pic you could post. You're just too pretty to be a guy. ;) (no offense to the guys out there)

I like it very much, Julie.  It looks great on you; did you only tell them to cut the tips?

Thank you everyone for your kindness.  What I like most about the cut is it's so easy to manage... and that I finally have a feminine cut!  ::)

Tink, the only thing I told her was to cut the back shorter.  The rest I left in her hands.  I watched her do cutting methods I've never seen.  But it seemed all she was doing was cutting the tips, yet when she was done a lot of the bulk was gone.  I don't know how she did it, all I know is I really like it. 

Now word is tomorrow Sandy is calling for an appointment.  I'm anxious to see how that turns out.
