I'm just not quite sure

[switch842]

So, I went to get my haircut today. And with the news that the wig got the OK for the Nutcracker, I was planning on it all being gone, chopped off, no more. Well, I decided to just let my hairdresser do what she wanted as long as she got rid of it.

Here's what she did:


And the back:




As you can see, she did the thing where it's super short in back and then has the long wispy pieces in front. And I just don't know. I mean, yeah, it looks nice and all, but I'm not sure it's me right now. Maybe it's just cos I was pretty sure I was coming out with some sort of nice little pixie cut. And, well, that didn't happen. I don't know. I know I can call her next week and go back in and have just chop it all off. But (and this is where I'm going to get completely superficial), there's the two cons coming up, and I want to look nice for the boys and everything. What do I do?!?!? Help me!!!!

My sister did that with my hair, and I HATED it! I just don't like that hairstyle in general. I think that I would probably go back to the lady and have her fix it.
If what you wanted was a pixie cut, then she should of given you one!

I hate it when the hairdressers don't listen.

Yeah. I mean, I'm just so ready to be done with long hair that I wanted it GONE. I thought I made that clear, even with the "Do whatever you want" statement thrown in. *sigh* I just feel bad, cos she's so great and everyone was like "It looks so great! You look so cute!" Oh, well. I'll give it a week. See what happens....

*nods* I love pixie cuts on me. They look really cute, but every hair dresser I seem to go to doesn't know how to cut it!
I feel your pain.

It's a great cut, but like you, I'm not happy unless it's all snipped off. I say do whatever you feel most comfortable with, because if you feel better about it, you'll be able to rock it more at the con.

Before I went to Burbank I went nuts on the beauty routines (none of which I normally do) - waxed from ankle to hip, manicure, pedicure, eyelash tint, sunbed... Maybe I didn't look any different to anyone, but I felt like a million bucks and that made me so much more confident.

I know what you mean. I always primp myself, too. Then I don't need to worry about anything when I am there. And just, ugh. This hair takes to long to do in the morning and I was ready to be done with it and the damn shedding. *sigh* It's just frustrating...

I actually LIKE it. I think it's quite flattering... but, the thing is, if it isn't YOU or isn't what you wanted then you won't be happy with it so maybe you should go for the change.

[switch842.livejournal.com]

I like it, too! Just not sure I like it on me...

[daniel-shadow.livejournal.com]

Seriously go with your gut!! If you don't feel comfortable then get it done the way that you are most comfortable with. You want to make yourself feel nice and not feel awkward about yourself at the cons. I hope I make sense.

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Yup. You make sense. I think I'm gonna give it this week and see what happens. How I feel about it actually trying to style it myself and all that.

Besides the bangs we have the EXACT SAME HAIRCUT. It's a little scary actually. And I think it looks pretty darn cute on you actually. But if you don't feel comfortable with it, have it redone and have the front part chopped too. I just really like how it allows me to be a little girly with the front if I want to and well Ry really thinks it's cute.

[switch842.livejournal.com]

OK. We need to stop that. How often has this happened? So strange....

[erin-anderson.livejournal.com]

You also keep popping up in my dreams. Though usually you bring someone hot along. So please keep doing that.

[switch842.livejournal.com]

I'm glad I can entertain you. Any special requests?

[erin-anderson.livejournal.com]

Just keep bringing Michael and John and I'll be happy as a lark. (I don't have to make sure you keep bringing Ry, he shows up of his own accord)

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Michael and John. I'm on it! :-D

I think it's cute, but if it's annoying you, def. get it fixed. I had something a bit similar about 7 years ago, and the long pieces on the side annoyed the crap out of me and felt weird on my face with my neck showing. I kept having to swat at them.

My hubby told me the back of my head looked like a duck's butt when I had that, but my hair kept curling out instead of in like yours is. I donno. I do think it's cute though, so maybe wear it for a bit? It's not like you can't go chop it again before your next con.

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I need to give it a chance I think. Let me settle into it.

[djfavorite.livejournal.com]

I like it. I think it looks really good on you!!!

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :-)

I think it's cute, but what matters most is what YOU think, and whether you can style it like that yourself. I can never get my hair to lay nice the way my stylist can, mostly due to a lack of patience. And dexterity. =)

[switch842.livejournal.com]

That's the other thing - I'm not sure I have any patience left, either. LOL Oh, well. We'll see what happens this week.

[aizjanika.livejournal.com]

I think it looks really cute on you. I wouldn't want mine so short in back, but I wish I could do something like that with my hair.

I agree with everyone else, though. If it's not what you want, go back and have it cut in a way you'd like.
