New Styles

New Styles

See that lady above? That's me! That's me with bangs! For the first time since I was probably 14! 

OK, OK. The bangs aren't that blunt or different, but it's a fun change for me! Especially because every. single. time. I am ready for a hair cut I stress over the decision whether to get bangs. And I always chicken out. Always.

Until last night!

Back in September, Eric got me a gift card to East Town Spa as an anniversary/congrats-for-running-a half-marathon gift (intended for a massage). I never got around to the massage, but about a month later, I was in desperate need of a haircut, so I used the gift card toward that. I'd never been to East Town Spa before, but I love it! My hair stylist, Renee, was such a sweet girl and really knew what she was doing (plus, the prices were very affordable!). My hair turned out great, and for the first time in years I was actually really happy with a new hair stylist. 

So, long story short, I've found my salon in Milwaukee and am staying put. I went in for a cut last night and finally bit the bullet and told Renee I was going for some side-swept bangs. She told me she thought it was a good idea and cut away. I wasn't sure how I felt about them at first, but after a little fussing with them this morning, I love them! It's a simple change, but I like how they give my hair a distinct shape - I think it really changes the way I look! I'll probably keep the bangs until summer, when it will be simply too hot to have hair hanging in my face all day. But as for now, I'm happy!

Do new haircuts affect you like they do me? Have you ever had a traumatic hair experience? Let me know!
