Heh, I got shorn
27 October 2023 14:12The last time I went to a stylist was with Emily's back in March. I had high hopes since she gave Emily a cool asymmetrical look. This is what she gave me back then and I wasn't really happy with it. It wasn't what I asked for which was to have the sides and back clippered short and some volume on top. I mean it was ok but I felt like I got an "old lady" cut
I asked some folks on the local community for recommendations because the issue is that some stylists don't seem to be comfortable with using clippers and some barbers aren't comfortable with doing women. I got several recommendations for a salon just right down the street and I looked at her Instagram and saw some examples I liked.
We chatted and I said I wanted "edgy but not Karen" and "Something that might annoy my boss but not enough that she can object." That amused her and she said, "Yeah, let's go for it." I am LOVING my buzzzzzzz on the side and back and she had fun today with mousse and gave me a fauxhawk but if I wash it, the one side will flop over messily like I'll probably wear it most days.
I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I love it. Though I don't really wear makeup, I'm feeling like I might want to get some bright red lipstick for fun. Think cherry red or another hue?
