tephraOne of the errands to be completed before Anthrocon was a haircut. The wait at the salon inside the super Walmart was about 45 minutes so I scooted over to Fiesta. Now I used to get my hair cut there a few years back (before I went back to Massachusetts for a couple years and got spoiled by Leigh at Connie's Salon) and I was okay with them, they just aren't as conveniently located as Walmart these days.
Anyway, I said I wanted an asymmetric bob, longer in front, severely stacked or wedged in back because I hate hair that flips out.
This is not the cut I got.
What I got was shorter in the front, and reverse stacked so it would flip out.
Now as you may recall from a previous post, I can't see without my glasses. I didn't know that my hair was being cut this way until it was far too late. I did get the back shortened up though so the front is nearly as long as the back but other than that there's not a lot to do about things until it grows out some.
Fortunately the new cut is cute, even when it is flipping out. Also fortunate is the fact that my hair laughs in the face of The Flip and wants to roll under anyway. Once the styling products are washed out it may roll under with little help. There is an upside as well, it cut a lot of the old bleach and dye damage out.
In the mean time I must deal with the fact that someone managed to make me look good with cute hair.
I don't do cute.
I am not cute.
But my hair is. For now.

Date: 2005-07-06 08:08 pm (UTC)Today, with just a blow drying and no attempt to style it, it's curling under... mostly. I think I'll see if Leigh can squeeze me in while I'm at my folks on my way back from the con and see if she can reshape the back a bit to minimize the mini-flips. The back could still go up to another half inch shorter so she might be able to do something.
Next time I'm going to do a frigging sketch, words are apparently not up to the task of describing a haircut.
I'm not dying my hair currently for lack of cash, but I'd really like to find a place here that will do extensions with micro rings. That way I don't have to worry about dying roots, just having the extensions tightened. And if I get strapped for cash while I have them I can just take them out and save them for when I have cash again.
And extensions add hair, always a plus since my fine hair could use the volume boost. :)
Okay, back to packing for the con now.
