I just cut 5 inches off my hair on a whim. I know I wanted something a little different, but had no plans of going this short until 3 minutes before walking out the door. The final push is when Brandon told me to go for it right before I was leaving.

I cut my hair myself up until a few years ago because I didn't have the budget to pay someone else. Now that I can afford real haircuts, I've learned that bringing in a picture is key! I always had a clear idea of what I wanted in a haircut, but was really horrible at putting that into words. I actually bought a hairstyle magazine, so there was no question what I meant when I said I wanted "short, flippy layers." The magazine helped, but some of those haircut examples in those magazines are a little wild- unless you're lucky enough to work in an industry where asymmetrical hair is embraced.
