hairbrained ideas


On Saturday I got to do what I love best, dress hair. My bestest best friend of mine hasn't had a haircut since August. She loves growing it all out and then cutting it dramatically. I don't know how she does it, I personally can't go for a such a long period of time without doing something to my hair(as it is I have managed not to cut it for a good 3 months...I am going crazy!).
She emailed me a few days earlier with various pictures and sketches of what she was thinking.
I was excited. I love it when people come to me wanting dramatic change! It makes me happy.
This is her prior to it all. Look at ALL THAT HAIR! (I have to admit I am jealous of her. Her hair seems to grow so fast...mine doesn't...)

Shampood and ready to go. I have to say the worst part of doing this at my house is making my friends lean over my kitchen sink...but I hope to change that soon.



Here we go!



Look at that!



That thing that she is holding in her hand is a neck duster, you may have seen them in old movies, or barber shops. It is fun to play with :)


"Let's make a wig, and name it Marv!" - Bella
Yes, we probably could have made a wiglet with the amount of hair I cut off.



The new style. Lotsa lotsa layers.



The end product. Resulting of much razoring and point cutting... *says in best aussie accent* "Isn't she a beauty?"
After about 15 years of pondering bangs she finally decided to go ahead and take the plunge. She hadn't had bangs since she was in first grade, and they were your customary straight across fringe.
"These are not your 1st grade bangs." I promised her.

  1. love it...you did such a wonderful job! We are all loving her new banged look...you are quite the stylist.

    I told Bella I loved it and maybe I should have you cut me some big-girl bangs, but she frowned and said we shouldn't be twins. sigh.

    Honestly I love it!
