Hair is so personal and when my hair isn't right, I get grumpy. I always say that I'd let Nick Arrojo on What Not to Wear do my hair, because I'm always curious as to what he would see/do. Most look a 100 per cent better (not all.)
But I've had a lot of hair disasters at the hands of freewheeling hairstylists. And lots of hair-raising stories. So my heart goes out to you. I'm currently on a no-haircut/no-stylist binge and I trim my own bangs. Ugh. My last hairstylist was a disaster. Long, sad story. Afraid to go anywhere else now.
But I do think it changes you--your life--when you have the right color and hairstyle.
Can't wait to see the "after" photo.
Crystal, I'm so glad I"m not the only one who does it themselves while it grows out. It's not growing out though. Don't know if it's because I'm getting old or what. Still, it needs to be pruned.
I'm not a big fan of what Nick does to all long haired people. Not everyone looks bad with long hair, and he chops everyone.
I look bad with long hair too, so I'm not talking about me. I've never had it.
Hair is so expensive here. I hope I can find someone who is good that doesn't cost a fortune.
Poor Kristin!! As a former hair stylist (I don't have the audacity to call myself a designer - and I have loads of audacity) I can understand your dilemma. I know better and I STILL try to cut ny own ... with the same results as you.
Hmm ... I'll bet I could make a bundle if I set up shop at the ACFW conference to fix all those writers's haircuts who didn't have the time or the $$$ to get a "designer" cut. What do you think?
P.S. The cost of haircuts nowadays rives me nuts. That's why I let my hair grow every few years. THat way, like Crystal, I can cut the front and my hubby can trim the ends in back for me.
Right now I have a decent one, the owner of a salon near me. But she isn't cheap, either. It may be time to let it grow again.
I recently learned a trick off the internet for trimming hair - but I think it only works for long hair (like mine)... so I'm not posting it to give all you short haired people a recipe for disaster.
I'll trim my hair, but I won't cut it.
Your hair looks pretty nice in the pic, Kristin. If only we could all walk around with muted lighting, eh? haha...
Ane, I'll be in line! Writers don't have time to do girly things, you know?
And Julie, I swear, I almost took a picture of myself this morning before I straightened it, but I am not THAT brave. It scares my kids even.
Ooh OCD person next to me in coffee shop cleaning off the table. Always enjoy that. LOL
Leslie, I'll take your word for it. My hair grows out, not down.
Oh and Ane, it was costing me $200 every five weeks!!! Then, they want a tip. HELLO?? Your tip is that I can't feed my kids this week.
I don't have the nerve to cut my own hair and I'm so picky about who does cut it! Once I find someone I like, I won't go anywhere else. I've had this stylist for about 7 years and I hope she never quits! However, it's so expensive that I can't get it done as often as I would like!
Blessings

We want an after pic!
I moved to a new state this summer and have yet to find a new stylist. I have thick curly hair that everyone wants to thin! Agh!!! It never looks better thinned. It simply looks thin and frizzy! I really really need a haircut, but I am terrified how it will look when I leave the salon.
I started doing my own color touch ups a few years ago. I found an all natural color from Europe that is easy to do and less chemically. I love highlights, but I am not brave enough to do them.
So on Friday I will attend my husband's work party with self-colored hair that is badly in need of a cut.
Ooh Betsy, I'd love to know the name of the natural color! And where you get it. I saw Longs had a natural brand in their organic section.
I use Naturtint. I love that I can go anywhere right afterward b/c there is absolutely no smell. It lasts well and is only about $15 at Whole Foods. I simply got sick of putting so many chemicals on my hair.
My friend turned her hair green and no professional could get it out, so that always scared me about the natural stuff. She used Henna, but I think that's the same stuff you mentioned that I used from Long's. Unfortunately, I got it too dark, so I have to go lighter next time. : )
It may be henna. I would go look on the box, but my poor hubby is sleeping.
I buy a color that is one shade lighter than the color on my ends. I can't even call it my natural color b/c I have no idea what it is anymore. Isn't that sad! LOL
Betsy, so sad, but so true. Sadly, I think my natural color is gray now. LOL
