Beauty Salon!
Today was Maddie's first trip to the salon and my first trip in over a year. Just look at the state that our hair was in. . .
Okay, it's difficult to take a good photo of yourself in the mirror, but my hair really does look that bad -- it just grew out like a weed and I did nothing to stop it! Shame on me. And we've been trying to grow out Maddie's bangs. . .
and the back has just been growing too. . .
I don't have a good after picture of Maddie's haircut from the front, but look at here's the back:
It looks very stylish! And mine is *so* much better. A mirror photo really doesn't do it justice. . .
So now I have a stylist that I like and I'm not afraid to go get my hair cut! Yeah! (About 3 years ago I had a very bad haircut that turned me off from going to salons. I actually broke a sweat when I called to make the appointments for Maddie & I. Whew.)
She's never had her hair cut before! Wow!
And you both look great!

It looks great! I really need to get my hair trimmed, too (sigh).

What a fun girls' outing! I am in desperate need of a haircut myself.

Great haircut! I would prefer a photo of you tossing your hair and laughing to a tall, handsome stranger, such as in a Lands End catalog. But I get the idea.

Your hair looks great! I can totally relate to the "fear of the salon" mentality. Also, I can clearly remember my son's sixth birthday. We had a ceramics party. Ahhhhh..he turns 21 in March and a junior in college! It truly does fly by so enjoy...I still do!

That is a great cut! Finding a good cutter is a chore - and so scary!

You both look great!! Did they do a "color job" on you as well?? Love it. I was once told that you needed to have an old doctor and a young hairstylist. Not sure about the old doctor part, but I love my "hip" hairstylist who keeps me looking good and up to date. You must read Nora Ephron's new book: I FEEL BAD ABOUT MY NECK AND OTHER THOUGHTS ON BEING A WOMAN. It is hilarious and sometimes so true.

Your haircut looks great! It's amazing what a bit of shaping can do the ease of styling. Looks like you found a good person to do ya.

Well. I'm not sure what it says about me, but I thought the FIRST photo was the AFTER photo -- it looks THAT good to me. I love the end result, but seriously, you looked great to begin with.

Haha! I thought the same thing that Norma thought! They both look fabulous. Beautiful, darling!

You crack me up! Your pictures look like "good" and "good" to me. I like you new cut, but your hair still looked healthy, full, and was a nice, rich color in the first picture.
