Kidding. I'm totally kidding.
But last week I did hack two inches off the back that were giving me a weird tail/mullet-y feeling. It seems you can't do Keith Richards and Stevie Nicks at the same time.
In my defense, Alexis was out of town. When I went in to the salon get my hair "fixed" (I.E. to beg her to make it look like I did a better job of cutting it myself), she was remarkably understanding.
Anyhoo, I blame Liv for planting the idea in my head.*

whaaa?
ReplyDeletedid you not learn from MY mistake a while back?! remember how you told me to NEVER do that, but as long as the bangs were ok, i'd be fine. well, i too went to get it "fixed", and apparently "fixed" looks like this and I AM NOT FINE.

I cut my own hair for a solid year in my early twenties; it became something of an addiction, actually. I'm not saying it looked good, but I was awfully fond of the curls in the sink.
ReplyDeleteI used to cut my own hair, too ! In my younger, wilder days... and I was bold, let me tell ya. My efforts often involved a set of clippers, and were always funky fresh.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, the last homemade hair cut I had ended in tears. After too much wine, my boyfriend told me he could "help me out". Big mistake.
Thankfully, that mistake led to me finding DAVID, my amazing stylist. I currently have long (well, shoulder-length) hair for the first time in ten years. Man, do I feel pretty.
i have yet to find an amazing stylist. or maybe i'm picky.
ReplyDeleteyay, liv! that didn't take long at all!
my beyonce cut mine 2 years ago, hacked the 16 inch pony right off. i haven't, nor has anyone else, cut it since.
ReplyDelete@holli whoa surfer girl. you need a TRIM.
ReplyDeleteI always cut my own hair. And I get compliments on it all the time. It can be done.
ReplyDelete@holli beyonce cuts your hair??
ReplyDelete@anon i'm willing to bet you're 25 or younger...
@celia @anon yeah. sometimes, "I like your haircut!" means "I am *noticing* your haircut." NOT the same thing.
ReplyDelete@anon wait. ARE YOU PATTI SMITH??
ReplyDeletei call my fiance beyonce.... "fiance" sounds so pretentious and BEyonce sounds so jiggly and fun
ReplyDeleteHa, it actually is cut your own hair month.
ReplyDeleteI am sooo busy right now that my hair got out of control. I asked my neice to hack off the back for me one day but she was too scared, so I cut it myself in front of her and made a mess of it. So then she agreed to even it up for me. It was a bit evil of me to manipulate a thirteen year old like that. Hair looks horrible, but at least it's not a mullet anymore.
uhm... sorry I didn't plan to encourage the whole world to cut their hair off themselves...mine worked out pretty well though and was great fun. But you should be prepared with a plan B appointment for a short cut at your hairdressers ; )
ReplyDeletePLUS:
thx to all you ladies for the motivating "move-to-london-words!"
and yes: new haircut, new boy, new city!
everything is falling into place!
I do it all the time...mulletty hair sometimes needs a seeing to right away. My DIY cuts are usually great for the first week or so but as they grow out I really need to go to a professional whom I normally tell great big white lies to about the friend who is an apprentice hairdresser who needed someone to practice on...oh well.
