I still haven't found a good haircutter in this town where I live after three and a half years here. I had a good haircutter in South padre Island, young Mexican-American woman whose mother taught her to cut hair. And I had a good haircutter in Cyprus. Got my hair cut the other day by a woman I have used before. She does an "okay" job, and I have had so much worse, I am willing to settle for "okay." I have to admit I do not really understand women who have very long hair who have conniption fits it too much gets cut off their hair and it is STILL long. To me, anything below shoulder length all looks the same. Jujuhalfinchlonghair

You've got that whole "ponderous tail" thing working for you though, Juju. It makes a difference.

I know, Tess. It does kind of distract from my topknot.

ACk, you guys are filling me with dread, lol. I have to take the kids tomorrow for haircuts. Caleb's is no problem since we get it cut and shaved short enough for him to have it spikey (never seen them screw that up) but I found out tonight the friend who cuts Dakota's hair is out of town for the next three weeks. She's in desperate need of a haircut and last time I took her into a shop it came out horrible! And to top it off the only kids shop is the one I won't go in anymore since the woman watched me push my car through the parking lot and then wouldn't let me use her phone because I wasn't there to get their hair cut, lol. I'm just gonna have to suck it up, get her hair cut, and hope it comes out ok til my friend gets back. Ack!

the haircut is MY fault. i thought it would look good with the cut. my friend had hers like this earlier last year, and it looked good on her. her face isn't round though. i think that makes a difference. i need a little longer hair to make my face look thinner. btw, i love the girl that i go to. she always gives me a good cut. my sister found her at supercuts of all places, so it is also inexpensive. and she cuts it like i tell her to. sometimes that is hard to find. yep, i am taking all the blame for this one. i was hoping when i woke up this morning that is was all a bad drem....nope, it's real!

Jbean that's why I said sometimes when you take a chance it comes out ok and sometimes it doesn't. You took a chance on a new cut not stylist, lol. Sorry it didn't turn out ok. And sometimes you need a stylist to tell you when what you want won't work for you, lol. One time I took a picture to my hairdresser and said I wanted that style and she said oh hell no you would look ridiculous with that but let's try this instead. Makes a world of difference.

jeany and rosie, sorry to hear about your hair loss...well, you know what I mean. I went through haircut trouble about a month ago but the one thing I knew to be true was this... hair will only grow out again. So have faith and know that eventually the "bad" haircut will go away and then you'll have to start all over again, hopefully with happier results or you're back to square one. Right Mocha?

Yep. Or you just get used to it or try to style it differently. And there are always hats, scarves, hair pieces, wigs, etc.

Well, Caleb's haircut came out as usual..short and spikey. Dakota's wasn't quite as successful. She kept wiggling and moving her head (she never does that with my friend!) Once we got home and her hair had a chance to dry a little, I saw that the back is a bit crooked. If I could cut a straight line, I'd fix it myself, lol. However, we should be able to hide that at least until my friend gets back in town and can fix it for us.

Okay - I need advice. I very very very badly want to cut my hair like Jennifer Aniston's, but I'm terrified of getting bangs - even the little bit that she has. Should I do it? Would it look good?? I have an appointment in the morning!

spymom, you are adorable and will look good no matter what. i say if you want bangs, get them. jen's hair is cute. you can't go wrong. and just to update everyone, i like my haircut now. it just took a couple of days to get over the initial shock of how much i really had cut off. i added bangs to mine last night, and like it even more now. i think my hair looks better when it is this shorter length, with bangs. i figure if i am growing it out, i might as well be growing it ALL out. lol so, i know it will grow out, but i am happy with it now. and hardly anyone has even noticed, so it must not look too much different. oh well.

Spy..get them long like Kelly Rippa's and then you can brush them forward or back. This is the year of the bang!!

Spygirl, promise you won't tell Fluff I said this, but it's just hair, you know. If it looks bad, it will grow back. So, yeah, go for the bangs. Never had bangs? I betcha Fluff has had 27 different kinds of bangs.

Well, I'd really really like to find a picture of her new do, but I can't seem to find one on the net. I know better than to describe a haircut to a stylist, so unless I come up with a decent picture in the next 8 hours, I'm not getting bangs.

hey, SpyBro has bangs. Just look how cute he is with them and you will see they look good on you too. Try going to the grocery store and pick up a copy of People or Enquirer or something with recent pics.

Spy, I've been looking for a picture, too. I think it would be good to get a long bang first, then you can decide if you want it shorter.

Spy, Can you superimpose a picture of yourself onto the pictures of Jennifer? I think it will look cute on you...just a big step in terms of hair!

I don't know how to do that...maybe when Draheid wakes up in the morning he'll be able to do it and email it to me. He's a genius at that kind of stuff!!! I printed out several of those shots and I'm going to take them with me in the morning. I've got some wispy short hairs already, so maybe I'll just take the plunge. Most likely I will make that decision right before she starts cutting - no one will know until the very last minute - not even me!

Well, I went to my stylist yesterday on a spur of the moment thing and cut my hair REAL short. Just had enough of trying to make it do something. I'll let you know if I like it after I shampoo and color this morning. Everybody cross your fingers.

I leave in about 5 minutes for my appointment. I'll post sometime this afternoon about what I decided. The date is at 7:30 tonight and I have a ton of things to do in the meantime!!

Spy..do it! I think bangs are so youthful looking. Of course, you ARE anyway..but look how they changed Katie Couric!

I did it!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! I sorta freaked out right after she cut them, but I got over it when she dried my hair. I can't post a picture because I had her do my hair up in a twist for my date. I love the twist, but because I love my new cut so much, I'm considering taking the twist out and leaving it down for my date. I haven't decided yet, but I have a couple more hours before I'd have to wash it.
