OT Great Haircut
Question:
Woohoo, Carmen! Glad you had a great experience at the salon. Can’t wait to see the pics! Cheers! Nicole K.
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Hi all, With poor Scott’s recent follicle travesty in the back of my mind I finally decided to do something about my own hair. I used to get it permed and it looked quite nice that way – but then PCOS caused almost half of it to fall out over the past 18 months or so. It’s quite thin now, and just putting it into a ponytail everyday accentuated the receding hairline. Not what anyone would call a fun time. I decided to get a cut that would allow some wispy bangs, put no stress on what’s left of my hair and maybe not look stupid and lazy. Okay, went in and told the lady (Yolanda) what I was aiming for and why. She asked some questions, made a suggestion and went to work. When she was done not only did it look better – it looked *good*! The first haircut I’ve ever gotten that I liked. It’s now collar bone length, parted on the side with some wispy bangs to break up my high forehead. She tried to turn the ends under, but they insisted on turning up instead 
. That’s okay, though, because it looks good that way too. With this cut my face doesn’t look "horsey" anymore. The right stylist makes all the difference. BTW, she got a 40% plus tip and lavish compliments. — Take care, Carmen How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb? Only one, but it takes a really long time and the light bulb has to want to change.

Hi Jo, I have a long, relatively thin face with a strong jawline and a high, broad forehead. The way this cut frames my face it miraculously looks balanced. Give it some thought…you might love it. Take care, Carmen

Hi, I remember the panic period. Then I went through what I’ll describe as a "mourning period". This final phase was mostly designed to put as little possible stress on what’s left of my hair before I need to go to wigs. I never expected it to look *good*. I left the shop feeling "pretty" too. I hadn’t felt that way for years. It’s nice. Take care, Carmen So glad to hear about your positive hair cutting experience! I too have pcos and the hair is also falling out in handfulls dispite my medication, dietary changes and exercise. :( It’s really scary. I have had thick long hair for years (panic does not even begin to describe how I feel). I too just got most of it cut off in a shoulder length cut – you could hear the other stylists and customers gasp as she made those first cuts. Anyway, your cut sounds similar to mine! I also loved it – and so did everybody else in the shop too. It was definitly an ego boost for me to walk out of the shop feeling pretty again. -lcf

Hi Nicole, They’ll be forthcoming – I just have to get the blur known as the DH to take a few (perhaps this evening) so I can upload them to a Club Photo album. Take care, Carmen

Hi Tinakaye! Guess what? I found her at (get this) Mastercuts at the mall! I wasn’t expecting anything more than a cut that would allow what’s left of my hair to be stressed as little as possible before I had to go to wigs, so I wasn’t going to pay good money. Teehee. The photos will be coming soon – I’ll post the link when they’re up. Take care, Carmen

Hi Bridget, <Laughing The main ID I use (my military dependent’s ID) just got retaken last month. That was fun, though. The weight on it was 215, and I weigh mid 140s. The woman pulled the old info up on her computer and was doing the "eye color, hair color, height information" double check when she came to the weight. She stopped dead, looked up at me and said "I’ll need your correct weight information". Not often you get to enjoy telling someone what you weigh. <G Take care, Carmen
