I just had my hair cut a couple weeks ago but something was just not right. I have been letting all my layers grow for the last 2 years and finally it was all one length again. I think the all one length is the part that’s not right. So, a couple days ago I grabbed the scissors on a whim and gave myself layers.
Reasons/Excueses For Cutting My Own Hair
1. To get the “feel” of it before I officially commit
2. I “think” I know what I want but toy with it before I exhaust my stylist
3. I’m a visual kinda gal wanting to “see” what it looks like before hand
4. To completely “SHOCK” my stylist when I go in with long hair in the back and on one side but the other side completely chopped off. I’ve been known to do that on more than one occasion…
5. It’s fun and I think anyone who hasn’t tried it – Well what are you waiting for, give it a try sometime…
6. Saved my biggest reason for last – I’ve secretively wanted to work in a salon since my high school days. I think cutting hair would be a total blast but my biggest worry is that I would do something wrong and upset my clients. That would devastate me, so I’ll continue to play “salon” happily ever after in the comforts of my own home.
I’ve let my hair grow, too…and then taken the scissors and cut it myself.
However, I have almost ALWAYS cut my own hair. I hate wasting the $$$ to have someone else do, that I can do…and better, too!!! LOL!!!
I also color my own hair.
As a 16 yr old, I worked in a Drug Store and the pharmacist and his wife (a beautician) owned it. She trained me in almost every area of the store. The best part was when she got to the make-up and hair color part. I took a box home and colored my hair a shade darker than my dark hair was already. I thought I was gonna die when my mother saw it!!! She had a cow!!!
After that, I decided I wanted to be a beautician, too. Well, that changed when my mom and dad told me I would have to pay to go to school to become one…that they weren’t going to help.
After graduation, I went to work full time…earned great $$$ then. Two years after graduation, I got married and within 2 years, had 2 boys. So much for school! LOL!!!
I’m happy doing my own hair…and happy with where I am in life today…beautician or not!!!

layers are FUN!
I knew it was about a haircut, but I didn’t know you gave it to yourself 😉 Looks cute!
I LOVE your haircut! I’m toying with the idea of letting mine grow, but it will take so LONG! 🙂
