If you don't mind the comments of a 64 year old man who hasn't had a haircut or shave in 20 years......
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!!!!
When you first mentioned getting a free hairdoo from Vidal Sasoon I was envisioning one of those poofy puffed up, mutli-color streak jobs that seem to scream "if you toucha my hair, i will breaka you face".
Now that I see the final article I am left with feelings like, "Very Attractive", "Practicle", "Low Maintenance" and most assuredly "Sexy"
Why "Sexy" you ask? The answer to that is simple, you look like a nice sincer open minded person who might indulge in a conversation without having my people contact your people for an appointment..and in those intimate moments when you are with your significant other he/she might go so far as to run their fingers through your hair without risking the wrathe of the hair gods...
Lazypup - thank you for the nice words. I actually requested that it be something that I could do myself that was fairly simple and she definitely came through.
Magic - I am happy to say that most of that is my own color. I do have highlights though but they didn't do those today. They just cut.
It looks wonderful and it's so nice to see a photo of you, Angela. You're beautiful and so is your hair. Your old hair was nice, but this is so flattering for you. :)
WOOHOO!! Love the softer face-framing rather than the more-blunt bangs.
ps: if you have a smartphone with a good camera, you should have DH take some photos of the new haircut with it. that way, you can show any other stylist what the cut is like instead of trying to describe it.
Maire cate - I'm thinking of going back to the salon that was having the class. They seemed like a bunch of nice girls and really up to date on their styling techniques AND they have a good reputation in town.
I woke up this morning and my hair looked pretty much just like it did in the picture :) Now that is surprising for my hair. I think this is going to be a really nice easy cut.
I love it. That's the style I wear and have for 30 years only back then it was longer. Mine is shorter than yours with no bangs but I wish it looked so good. I cut my own hair because I can't seem to find someone who can do it to my satisfaction. If I found someone like you did, I'd certainly book them for future cuts. What texture is your hair? Mine is fine but thick and unfortunately the older I get, the curlier it's getting, so major straightening has to happen. Winters are fine, straight as a stick, summers not so good with the humidity. I doubt mine would ever look as nice as yours.
Lily mine is fine and very thick too. They were telling me yesterday when I was getting it cut that the back was really wavy. I would never have thought my hair was wavy. It's straight as a stick but maybe as I'm getting older, it is getting more wavy. I wouldn't mind that as I've always wanted a little more wave to it. The girl told me I could let it air dry with some product in it to keep the wave in the back so I might try that and see what happens.
Everyone wants what they don't have. I'm so jealous of your straight smooth hair, and you want waves? lol It seems we have the same hair texture , the difference being mine is 1/2 grey now. I had straight hair for much of my life, but it just seems to be curlier every year. Probably it's the grey. If I washed mine and let it air dry, I would look like Shirley Temple, a look I don't want. How did your stylist tell you to style your hair after washing? I blow mine good upside down, use a straightener iron and for a few minutes put in jumbo rollers to try to get a smooth do. How was yours done? I really really like your back. I'm good with cutting the front, but my daughter cuts my back.
Lily - She just blow dried my hair and then straightened it with a flat iron just a little bit only because it tends to be a little frizzy. She told me to put a little product in it and I can either let it air dry or blow dry it and I shouldn't have to do much with it after blow drying.
Very nice. I bet you could ride around in a convertible and recover with a quick shake of the head and a run through of your fingers when you were done.
