another thing that helped put things into perspective for me was an EMT standing over my husband after calling 911 for chest pains, then spending 4 hours in an Emergency Room to find out that he was not in cardiac arrest but had most likely sprained something in his chest wall. suddenly a bad hair cut was no longer on my mind. i would gladly give ANYTHING up, including cute hair, to NEVER feel the fear i was feeling as i saw my one true love scared and in pain. it was not fun. i feel blessed and happy to know that he is fine, but wow...just the thought of possibly losing him woke me up big time. talk about a brick upside of my not so cute hair styled head.
before she chopped off 5 inches of hair
(i could not take a self pic and get both the
top of my head and the end of my hair, it was long)
the sample pic of what i wanted
the cut i got..looking at the pics together you might
be thinking i got what i asked for, i did a little
trimming and styling of my own to achieve
this look, trust me it took some work. the top
layers are just REALLY short...anyway it doesn't matter
so i am busy counting my blessings, spending time with my husband and feeling grateful that i still have him and at least some of my hair that will grow back...shutting up now!

How did you get a picture of yourself with the cut you wanted?
Did you have to do a TON of work for that last picture, because you look pretty cute to me!
I'm soo sorry your husband had that scare and so thankful he's OK. Oh my goodness, how scary! You ain't kidding about a wakeup call, huh?
Miss ya, chickie! Things are looking up weather-wise around here, finally!
TTYS! Sniz
I really don't want to be a 'downer' for you (because I think you've realized the bigger things in life besides 'cute' hair). But I have no hair, having lost almost all of it to chemo and it's not going to grow back. I got a weave a couple of weeks ago but you can see the stitches so it's not good. And the wigs are so hot in Florida. So please, dear one, thank God you have any hair, and be grateful for that really cute pic of you 'after'. I'd give anything to look like that.
So glad that hubby is okay! That was quite a scare!
Glad also that the hair all worked out. Your after pic is great- sorry you had to do so much work to get it done though!
:( sorry about that scary experience :(
I'm glad your husband is ok.
You are so cute! So I'm going to have to give you a "Whatever!" 'cause I don't see the problem, BUT we know what we want and you didn't get it, so Booo.
OMG!!! Soooooo glad he is okay. And girl, you know how cute you are...no matter what happens to your hair!! xoxo
So glad it turned out to be nothing serious. I've spent my share of time in ER with my dad. It's hard enough with him. I can't imagine how it would be if it was my husband.
Darling, you look great. Even if it's not what you wanted!
You know what is funny? Every bad hair cut I've had was from a hairdresser in Cali and all the good ones it Utah. The land of big hair seems to turn out amazing hair dressers...at least in the last few years. My suggestion is to see if Nicole Starkweather is still cutting hair - she's amazing.
That's scary about your husband...
I think you look beautiful with all three hairdoo's!
Oh my goodness, I am so glad that your hubby is okay! How scary!
You are adorable!! I totally know what you mean about the top layers being too short (well at least with my bad hair cut). Yours looks great. You did a great job sprucing it up! :)
Hi! I'm Sharon's friend Lindsey...you've commented on my blog a few times (Which I really appreciate!) I'm sorry that it's taken me so long to reply in any way. I promise I'm not as flaky as I've made myself out to be!! I'm sorry about the bad haircut. That really sucks. (I've actually cried after having bad haircut before!)I hope your husband is healthy and well!
Good save on the bad hair cut. Styling products can do wonders. Glad your honey is ok!
And really, So FUN to see some pictures of YOU!
Okey Dokey,
First off. Gracias por the bday msg.
Second, I am glad that paul is ok. I hadn't heard about it. I hope that things are continuing to improve there.
Third, Here's what I think is going on....
1. She just ain't a good stylist.
2. The Whole cut is longer than before, and could probably be touched up by evening out the layering, by shortening the bottom.
3. I think you may have been using a different styling technique with the previous cut. Try using a 3 stage process, beginning by pinning/ clipping the top, and then curling the last sections of the bottom the other direction so the flip is reversed with a roller brush, while drying, Finally, Unclip the top, and use a roller brush to blow it straight.
I think the combination of these strategies will give you the light, airy, and effortless look in the sample pic. She did blow it, though.
Keep me updated.
Scott
you look cute in all three! and yeah it is way fun to see you on here. you are beautiful with any hair style. way to go getting some perspective. and so glad your one true love is OK. SUPER SCARY!
and i was thinking some of the same stuff Scott said too. flip it out.but it's cute both ways.
Yeah, I can see what you mean with the layers. She got a bit layer happy there. If it makes you feel any better, I think it looks pretty good in spite. I think it always looks worse to us than it does to other people. Anyway, you're cute either way!
And your hubby with the EMS...O.M.G. That is frickin' scary! Sorry you went through that but I am happy that he was ok. I've sprained the muscles in my chest before. OUCH! Definitely could mirror a heart attack. Glad everyone is ok!
So glad to hear that your hubby is going to be alright. You did a nice job styling your hair. I think it looks nice.
You're still way cute no matter what your hair looks like!
And I'm glad your husband is ok! I actually had that same thing happen to me years ago. Scared me to death! It actually took 3-4 days before I could breath/move w/out horrible pain. But those first few hours before/during the testing were so incredibly scary. Hugs!
oh, and I"ll have to check out that nose bidet :) Will it help w/the itching eyes, non-stop cough, sinus headaches and itchy hives? Cuz I've got them all, lucky me.
There's nothing like an emergency to put life into perspective for you. We have had some of those experiences lately, too.
I echo No Cool Story, though. I don't think it looks bad, but it is hard when it's not what you want :) !!
Your hair looks great and glad to hear hubby is ok. Why do they have to do things like that? Same thing with my hubby but he spent a week in the hospital. he almost left me with 2 little girls. augh, the thought!
Girl, you look fabulous!! I understand the disappointment though. It's happened to me before too.
Enjoy your hubby. Every day is a precious gift with our loved ones.
FYI I look at your blog often I just don't leave comments often. I hadn't been on for a while so I missed the whole haircut thing. So when in Percpective I got to click HERE I did and didn't read more and then forgot to go back and read the rest of that article. Sorry about that. I am sorry about your husband. That is super scary. My bro-in-law went in a couple years ago for chest pain and it turned out it was heart burn from eating a whole bag of jerky from Costco. It was hilarious but he was in so much pain he thought he was gonna die. We tease him for it all the time. And your hair looks good. It does need to be shorter to match the picture. and maybe thinned a little. You are so cute. You don't look how I remember you when we were younger. But then again I don't either. And you were out of the house when so we didn;t see you that often. It is great to catch up and rekindle old friendship.
You look beeee-uuuu-tif-uuulllll!!!!
I think you look great in all the pics. I do understand it when you want what you want though. I'm very picky about my hair stylist. It might be because I was one but I think I would be picky no matter what.
I think your hair looks great! But if it was work, not so much fun - I'm with ya on not wanting to spend lots of time on it.
So glad hubby is OK! I can't imagine how scary that must have been . . . the powers that be really do know how to put things in perspective for us, don't they :-)
WOW Hollee Ann! I'm glad your hubby's ok. Nothing like a scare to put your own worry's into perspective.
Okay why can't I find a decent hairstylist in this valley!!!!!
Me too. Me too. I'm coaching the last hairstylist and it still doesn't come close. :(
Somehow I skipped over the second paragraph in the first reading. I'm glad he's okay--that sounds really scary. Wow.

I've definitely left the salon with those feelings, but I must say, you look great.
Meg's friends that read her blog: "Hey Meg...your brother Scotty...what's his (coughs) you know...um...status?"
Me: "What? Scott? Why?"
Then I get it...stuff like this:
"1. She just ain't a good stylist.
2. The Whole cut is longer than before, and could probably be
touched up by evening out the layering, by shortening the bottom.
3. I think you may have been using a different styling technique with the previous cut.

Man I love that guy.
You are such a pretty lady, whether you like it or not! The hair isn't what makes you ....you. You and your sweet personality make you pretty. By the way I like your haircut.
Glad your Hubby is okay!
