Every so often I'll want a bit of a change and will grow out my hair. Then I discover why I didn't like my hair long and will cut it off. It just gets in my way, will tickle my cheeks, fly in my eyes and seems to fall out faster. In the 12 years we’ve been back to Hawaii, I’ve gone to a professional just twice.
The first time was in 2013 at Macys where gorgeous Luciano cut off my hair after I’d grown it out for year. He was skeptical of my decision and asked me why I’d want such a huge change. Ah well. The result wasn’t exactly what I was envisioning, but I just combed it a different way and it was absolutely fine.
The second time I went to a hairdresser was to get a trim. After cutting my hair by myself for years, Art suggested I have my hair cut again by somebody else. I went to Supercuts. The stylist was very nice, but she cut my hair too short.
Well.... I’ve grown my hair out again, but AGAIN... it was driving me crazy.
I don't like taking care of my hair and at this length, it has a mind of its own.
Then I got a $3 off coupon from Supercuts so I thought I’d try once more. I called first and talked to Mindy who turned out to be the manager. I asked her if there was somebody who could cut my hair, but not too short. She said she would be happy to do it.
I really liked Mindy. She was very friendly and I watched how she carefully made every cut. AND best of all, I’m very pleased with the final product. It's just what I wanted!
I wonder what my friends at Zumba and Tai Chi will say. Maybe they won’t notice?

That's very short, indeed. I think I like the first cut best. It had a certain flair.
ReplyDeleteOf course they'll notice. It does look nice. I go every 6 weeks to have mine cut by Laura who has cut my hair since the 90s. She's been in several hair salons in that time but I just follow her as her other customers do.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you! Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI go through the same process, except I never attempt to cut my own hair. Right now I am in the letting it grow phase. We'll see how long that might last.
It looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThey will notice. I like it but it's just a wee bit too short for my taste (on you, of course; mine is that short). But I guarantee it will grow out! :-)
ReplyDeleteKay it looks great! It suits you--you're as cute as a button :)
ReplyDeleteI had wondered why you were growing your hair long. Especially living in Hawaii, with heat and moisture, I would think a short cut would be more suitable. I have very fine, straight hair, so if I grow it long, it just hangs and makes me look old. I am having trouble finding hairdressers who know HOW to cut hair short since it seems so many women now have long hair, even older women.
ReplyDeleteYou have a fresh and youthful face and are lucky that you can really wear your hair anyway!!
ReplyDeleteWow, that guy is gorgeous. I like short hair for many of the reasons you do. Like that haircut and it looks cute on you. Now you are ready for summer.
ReplyDeleteI like it, it looks great on you. Long hair is a pain to take care of...I'm at that stage again.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it! It suits you & will be so easy to take care of.
ReplyDeleteYay! Now we can have the same look again, Patty!
DeleteI keep my hair one length to cover up my bald spots.
ReplyDeleteReally cute, enjoy your new cut.
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely. For some reason, I never really notice when others get a major new hair-do. I think I look at eyes and faces more when chatting with folks. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteI think you look much cuter with the shorter hair...And I am someone that has short hair because I don't want to spend lots of time taking care of it!
ReplyDeleteI hate when my grows too long. I don't know how women tolerate it
ReplyDeleteIt looks nice! I go to a hairdresser about every 2 months. I was growing it out so I could just pull it back but it make me look 20 years older - and I don't need that.
ReplyDeleteOh Kay, what a great cut and style, it really suits you :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I go to whatever no-reservations salon happens to be convenient when I decide I need a haircut. Sometimes they do a good job. Other times not so good. But my hair grows fast.
ReplyDeleteI like your new cut. I like my hair short too. I have mine cut every five weeks, by the same person, and make the next appointment before I leave the shop.
ReplyDeleteLove it.
ReplyDeleteAwww Kay, you look beautiful. The cut is perfect. I know just what you mean about long hair getting in the way and all that. Enjoy your new hair cut!
ReplyDeleteI can understand this! I have done the same thing. I had a big cut early in winter. I loathe it in my eyes!!!
ReplyDeleteI always liked your haircut. Just want to mention . . . it seems that I can comment okay from my old computer, but not from my new one. Hope I can figure it out . . . someday (sigh).
ReplyDeleteAww, you look great in any hairstyle, Kay!! The best one was the first one, though. Since hair is the only thing you can experiment with without regrets, I too go on cutting spree very often. I am sure your friends would notice your new style. Keep blogging dear!!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with your first hair cut. Kay, you look awesome after each of your haircuts. I usually prefer long hair and I trim my hair regularly at a hairdresser near the Music institute in Coimbatore. Do you have any photos with long hair? Share them with us. Thanks for your post.
