My New Hair

Yesterday after work, I had an appointment to get my hair done. It's been FOREVER since I have gone to the salon. I usually wait until I can't stand what my hair looks like any longer or until we have something special coming up in our life that I want to look good at (birthday and Florida this time). I always love when I get my hair done, I just hate dishing out the moo-lah for it to happen.
I like my hair dresser alot. Her name is Kim and she's the owner of Innovations Hair Salon. It's a really upscale looking salon with really nice workers, but decent prices. I once got my hair done in Charlotte and spent over double what I spend here.

I have been debating getting my hair chopped for quite a while. I LOVE long hair, but felt that I have always had long hair and needed a new look. I always think about the make-overs you see on tv and how they take someone with straight long hair, chop it, and they look 100 times better. What if that was me?? I was definitely going to get my hair highlighted blonde for the spring/summer (which I always do), but I was really undecided about getting it cut. If any of you have ever had long hair and thought about chopping it, it's not an easy decision. Brad kept texting me throughout the whole day encouraging me to cut it. He really wanted a change in my hair. I had seen this picture a while ago and thought it was cute.

When I got to the salon, Kim asked me what I wanted done. Before I even had a chance to say anything, Kim suggested I chop my hair to the middle of my neck!!!!! She said it would be SUPER cute! I hadn't even shown her the picture or said anything about cutting it yet!! I took it as a sign that I should just go for it, showed her this picture, and prayed I would love it. My heart was beating so fast. Before I knew it, all my long hair was gone!!! For the next two hours, I sat there debating whether I had made the right decision.

My Hair Before- and it is curled in this pic, so it was really a little longer

My Hair after- LOTS shorter and blonder

Brad absolutely LOVES my new hair. Everyone says I look more "sophisicated". I LOVE the color and am getting used to the cut. I have never had my hair this short, ever!
