bad hair month

Note to well-meaning girl at the Aveda Institute who cut my hair yesterday:

This is a Halle Berry haircut.











This is a pixie haircut.











Please note how irrevocable the pixie choice is when your customer asked for a Halle Berry.
Now the money I saved by going to a student needs to be spent on a cute hat.

Ouch. My advice: find a stylist who serves you well, pay him or her well and keep the love rollin'. Hair can be, uh, hairy.

... or a lot of hair product ... (You can stiffen those strands into a perky little salute)

Your haircut, even though it's not what you wanted, it totally adorable.

For all Cooper's friends and fans reading this: don't let her escape under a hat; she's just too cute.

You could've ended up far worse - with a little number comedian Maria Bamford used to call "The Angry Lesbian" - only $6.95 at your local GreatClips.

I discovered this style when my GreatClips stylist insisted I had a cowlick. "No, I don't!" I protested.
"Yes, you DO!"...as she happily snipped off 1" length of lock. And kept going. I was too young and stupid to escape.

My roommate winced when I got home.
It is shorter than the haircut you desired; much shorter.

And it is much shorter than the Pixie.

You see scalp, and are glad when warm weather arrives.

Another tip for those who frequent chopshops - if your stylist *and* the receptionist are red-eyed, bleary, barely coherent, giggly...and smell strongly of hemp...leave!
