So, I made it through the hell that was that hair cut and today I took a huge leap of faith. A friend of mine is apprenticing under a guy who owns a salon, another friend of ours had her hair cut by our apprentice friend (and then "finished off" by the owner) and she was RAVING about how this guy (the owner) is so good at cutting hair to look good with ones face and also listening to what they want. The apprentice friend has also raved to me about how awesome his boss is. So, today I went in to have my hair cut. Instructed him that for work I must beable to pull my hair back into a ponytail and that I enjoy it being long. He actually took the front pieces of my hair and MEASURED how long they'd need to stay inorder to be pulled back...he then ASKED me if it was ok if the very front just tucked behind my ears (and I said yes)...noone has ever ASKED me that before, they just do it anyway. He then played with my hair for a bit and said "OK I know what we're going to do". I didn't even ask, I just got my hair washed and let him cut...well, the outcome is FANTASTIC!
LOOK!
