I haven't had a haircut since May 10, 2008. I am getting one tomorrow. I already feel nauseous. Almost 10 months. A little extreme, no?

I have had a few horrible, traumatic(for me) experiences at the hands of hairdressers in my lifetime, that no matter where I go, I am scared to death. The guy I am going to is at the best salon in the city (as voted by the people), and he did a good job last time, and he sure isn't cheap, yet I am still anxious & nervous as all get-out.

Weird, huh?

I have had HORRIBLE haircuts, too and I get a bit nervous beforehand, but that's about it.

We all have something. Good luck with the haircut.

Bring a friend who will make fun of you and you will buck up. And at least then you will have someone to go hat shopping with you afterwards!

LOL!!! =)

Hello, Samson!

 

[bearsdad]

I have no hair ... just sayin'

Hello, Samson!

You'd think, huh? It's so bad.

Relax--I'm sure you will get a wonderful haircut. I mean, c'mon, if there's one thing Nova Scotia is known for, it's male hairdressers.



And if that doesn't work out, come to San Francisco.

LOL! You know, it's so bad, it wouldn't matter who was cutting it, I would be the same. It's my baggage, I've been scarred.

I hadn't cut my hair in 10 years - it was passed my knees. I was scared to death. I kept reminding myself that I was cutting it for a good cause - I donated it to locks of love. The first time I cut it, it was a cut just above my bra strap. I thought I was going to wear it down all the time and style it. NOPE! still up in a bun or ponytail. Just lazy. Now, I'm ready for a cut again. It is at my waist. Don't know what I want to do with it, but I told my husband that I swear this time if I cut it to my shoulders I will wear it down and style it. He just gave me this look. It is all one length and I'm afraid to go with bangs and layer it.

Here's the big bun. I know it doesn't look like much hair, but it really is. It goes to my waist.

I don't get it then.....if you wear it up all the time, why keep it so long? I think it would be a pain in the butt.
There was a girl who went to my school (she was 3 years older then me). She wore her hair in a bun all the time and eventually it became her nickname. To this day I don't remember her name....just Bun.
T, I'll pray for a steady handed hair dresser who is focused and having a wonderful day.

Mine was almost waist last year, but it is wavy, and I always had long layers (NO bangs). Last May I decided I wanted a change, and I got it cut up to touching my shoulders. I paid $50 and the twit cut it unevenly, and didn't layer the bottom. I looked like Dora The Explorer. All I needed was a map. I couldn't go around looking like that, so I booked an appointment a one of the best salons in town, and Christopher managed to not only salvage the cut without making it much shorter, but it looked great! Best haircut I ever had. I am going back to him tomorrow. It's almost at bra strap length right now. It grew quite a bit in 10months.

I am still nervous.

Thanks, Lis =)

If you can, get to a place that sells a wide variety of magazines and pick up a few featuring hairstyles. Go through them, find the ones you like best, and bring them with you to the appointment.

I did this when I had to get my color and cut corrected, and it made the whole thing go so much more smoothly.

At first I thought I wanted long hair because I could do so much with it, wear it up, wear it down, braid it, put it in a pony tail and curl the ends, things like that. But I guess I just became lazy and found it much easier to just wash it and put it up in a "big fluffy bun". It's really not a pain, it's more of a pain when it is down because it gets in the way. That is why I'm leaning towards a nice cut. But as I get older I'm finding that long hair is not for older women. (ones that have to do their own hair anyway.) I will talk to a hairstylist about a cut that won't take too much time in the morning (I'm not one for fussing with blowdryers and curlers, etc.) I won't do a perm either. My hair is very fine and a perm fries my hair. I don't know, maybe I should just go back to short hair.

 

[BigBrownDog]

I go back and forth between shoulder length (or chin length) or short. Been chin length for quite a while now - debating about chopping it. It is so nice to have short hair for the styling time - but getting haircuts timely does not happen. I am usually 3 weeks overdue for a cut when I get to it so - 3 weeks of looking not all that well groomed.

I ain't had one since November of 2007, I'm gonna have to before spring and my first outing. It's to the point it's dangerous around a fire.

Really? I love getting my hair done. Having my hair washed is my favorite part. Good luck.

So, how come no pictures yet?
