i love style needs to get their hair did

i am seriously considering just stopping in at supercuts for my next cut. my hair is looking so so so shitty right now, and i have no idea about any of the salons round here.

L., I think for just a trim, you might not get much difference with the pricier place. I think the pricier places are good at layers, styles, angles, color, etc. I think also if you say "just a trim" the stylist assumes you don't really want anything different to be done to your hair. When I used to have long straight hair, I never went to an expensive place, and I used to always ask for just a trim.

some crappy stylists can end up changing your style with 'just a trim' though. like, they fuck up the layering or angles, or just don't follow how it's already cut/shaped.

The bowl-cut mistake-wig might come in handy after all. Any ideas for a costume that could make use of it for a dress like a rock-star karaoke event?

so today, while waiting for my bf while he was at the dentist, i walked into a slightly dodgy looking asian hair salon and asked if they could cut my hair on the spot. now i somehow have ended up with a 'bob'.

I bet it looks cute!

with my mousey brown hair, it looks kind of 'suburban mom'

guys. im thinking seriously about chocolate brown. talk me out of it. quick.

You are the ultimate blonde! You love blondes!

no wai sunny!

black!! go black!!

i tried on a black halloween wig and it seemed to look better. like WAY better. I have a photo. maybe I'll poll this.

i have seen the photos of you with black hair! that's why i think you should go BLACK BLACK BLACK. dude you looked like a way foxier version of pj harvey.

i am about to blowdry my new haircut and am kinda dreading it. i just KNOW it's gonna look A+ atrocious.

I can see why brown would be really flattering on you Sunny and don't acutally think it's a bad idea. I just love to think of you as a blonde. :-( If you do do it, I would go medium to dark brown rather than black because black might be a little too harsh.

you haven't seen the photos of her with black hair!

The ones from High School? I did! It looked awesome but I think it's easier to pull off extremes at that age and gets a little harder when we're older. I know I couldn't do really extreme light or dark anymore. Then again I could be totally wrong - it might look awesome on S still.

ok it's not really a bob now, it's just... short hair:

positives: it cost me $32 + tip ($8 - is that about right? i had no idea how much is the norm), and that was a wash/cut/dry

it takes about a 1/4 of the time to dry my hair

it feels a lot nicer now that there isn't a ton of split ends

$8 is fine for the tip. and your hair doesn't look mousey in that photo! i think it's a really nice color.

sunny, what's your natural color?

I think that's a v versatile hairstyle, actually. You could flat iron it and paste the ends for a shattered/piecey look, or flip it in or out, or put it up with bits falling out to soften it. I feel like I could work that that! :)

Yeah, I agree. I like the cut Ruby and it's not that short. I think it looks really nice.

thank you, ladies.
lauren, it is mostly just the flash on the camera making it look glossy than it is. i feel a dark brown hair dye coming on.

the problem is, mostly, that i'm too impatient to style my hair. when she blew it out yesterday, it was flipped under, like a proper bob, but it took about 30 mins to do that. i tried flipping it out today and was only mildly successful. plus, it's wayyyy shorter in the back than in the front.

lookin good, ruby!!

paging SCHEFTER: where do you get yr hair did? (sorry if you answered and i missed it).

I prefer shorter in back, though. I know it's been diagnosed on this thread as the cut that "everyone" is suddenly getting, but that depends on where you are, I would assume.

Very Aeon Flux! I say go more geometric with the styling.

when i got my hair cut last night, my stylist was like "omg, i have to show you this stuff" and pulled out a japanese hair magazine. most of the cuts were surprisingly boring, but there was a section of crazy precision cuts that i can't even describe properly. they were versions of bobs that had like, deep curving swooshes cut into the sides and then tapered to a point in back... he made me promise not to ask him for one before he let me see.

omg, that sounds dreamy!!

lauren my hair is naturally medium to dark brown but goes light brown in summer. well it did when it was last natural when i was 15 haha.

it cost me $32 + tip ($8 - is that about right? i had no idea how much is the norm), and that was a wash/cut/dry

this is the same exact cost of my haircut. sometimes i tip a little more, but i live in ny.

ss - you should go for a warm dark brown, like blair waldorf back from summer vacation!

well now youre just baiting me!

she's the perfect example, though! i love that golden medium/dark brown. my skin tone is way too cool for it.

tza: i go to a girl called anna. she currently resides at the jeffrey stein chain salon on columbus and 72nd.

tho i haven't in a while and this morning when i pushed my bangs back to wash my face i was like dang i gotta get my hair touched up this is like a full inch+ of roots.

I think Timi Yuro will be my karaoke costume for the night. (With the bad wig.) Any clothing ideas? I wish my white boots weren't in Virginia.

oh damn that is close to work! thanks, schef!

BIG DILLEMA

I have the fancy organics raspberry shampoo or something, and the smell is good w/o being too simply "FROOTY", but the conditioner is NOT ENOUGH. I swiped someone's gross coconut-tropical mango-commercial fruit scent conditioner from my shower the other day and it worked better.

I think I need to switch back to the Biolage conditioning serum or wahtevs.

Imma get mah hair did soon! will post pix

5 months of growing out my hair -- a slow transformation from Morrissey to WHAM!

something must be done. but oh sweet lord, what?

can you work it?
