Before & After

So what do you think?

Before:

After:

I have to be honest. When I walked out of the salon, I wasn't happy. In fact, I cried the whole way to White House/Black Market. But, after sleeping on it and fixing my hair myself this morning, I am happy with the result. The more I look at it and get used to it, the more I like it. And when I compare it to my "before," I think it looks a lot better. At least it was a change and I don't feel frumpy anymore.

I have to thank Nikki at Ladies & Gentlemen Salon and Spa. My tears of unhappiness came from the back of the hair. Because it is so light right now and the back is cut shorter at the top, you could see all of my dark hair underneath. Nikki reassured me that we could fix it and I came in this morning for more foil. Here's the best part-no charge to fix it! She worked on my hair for one and 1/2 hours today for no charge. I am one happy customer!

If you are in the Cleveland area, you have to try Ladies & Gentlemen Salon and Spa at Legacy Village. I love going there. With each haircut, you receive a free arm, face and hand massage. They also touch up your make-up when you are done. And the best part, besides the Aveda products, no tipping. That's right. You aren't allowed to tip there. I love this place and have always shared with my friends what a great place it is.

Change is good. It makes you feel better and at least makes the day or week interesting. I am glad I made the change this week. Thank you for helping me to pick it out. So, what color of hair should I try next? Red? Black? Don't worry hubby, I am not that brave. Blonde it is.

I apologize for the quality of the photos. My five year old tried to take them and these were the best that I had. You should see some of the discarded photos. I had more double chins than I thought possible.

Winning Cut

Yesterday, I asked for people to vote on a new haircut for me. Here is the winner!



I will take all of the photos into my salon. I am still leaning towards combining the bangs of this photo below with the photo above. I like the shorter length.

So thank you for helping! I will make sure to take a before and after shot to let you see the results. August 4th can't come too soon.

Time For A Change

It is time for a change here in Indyworld. My hair is driving me absolutely crazy. I feel like it has been the same for so long and I need to do something. I will miss my ponytail. I seem to wear it that way every day. I have had shorter hair cuts in the past. I am ready to go short again and add a little more style in my life. I am feeling frumpy. Anyone else noticing a pattern here?

I have some photos of haircuts. Let me know what you think would look best on me. If you think I need to keep looking, please say so. Honesty is appreciated! I can't promise I will follow the most popular choice. But I do promise to have some before and after photos for you.

Here is my current haircut on a typical long day:

Here is a photo of me that I use on my blog. It was taken on a very good hair day, the week after I went a little brighter on the highlights.

Please vote. Here are your choices:

Choice #1:

Choice #2 (just the cut, not the color):

Choice #3:

Choice #4:

My appointment is already scheduled for August 4. I can't wait. Thank you for helping me decide. I will be frumpy no more!
