Hi!

I took some pics today of the cut, and also included some pre-haircut ones I took right after I did my color (in black tank top) two weeks ago.

I'm three days away from being 8 weeks post. After I retouch next weekend, I'll upload some more.

I'll get the hang of taking really good pics like everyone else on the board, eventually. (Taking more than 10 minutes to get one suitable picture is NOT cool.)

The student cut it into a long sweep bang that covers my right eye.

But my relaxer is so "old" that the bang won't lay right. So when I do my retouch I'll show y'all.

The student also showed me different ways to style it, like spiky, behind my ears and all other variations. I'll take some pics, too.

I'm sho' gonna miss her when she graduates in a couple weeks! She's heading to a salon in Forsyth County (way north of Atlanta in an area where black people were recently allowed to come--remember Oprah and Hosea Williams' march there in the 80s?), plus, she gave me a cut that easily would have cost at least $70-$80 in a yt (her new spot) salon! It took her an hour to meticulously get that style on me. It's the best $15 I've spent in a long time!

An aside...and I hope not to step on any toes or cause controversy: But is it true that yt stylists got the cutting/color game down to a science? Outside of a really good friend who used to hook me up before she became addicted to cocaine really bad, I have yet to find another black stylist who can cut as well.

Pink gator, I'm jealous! that cut IS HOT!!! even though you say you need a touch up, :nono: I can't imagine it being any flyer than that (yes I said fly :look:). Now make sure when you get ready that you have all the different little styles for us to see. BTW, I don't always like to mention the obvious but I'm with asummertyme, your tat is on the job...I see you girl, know wonder they were all over you in Europe:yep:

*inter resting*

I would say YES!!! (real loud too) I owned a salon and phew!! *wiping my brow* horrible, to learn that skill, you must get additional education-pay money-show up-and do the work! Nuff said! There are some that can though, because they invested in them selves.


Alright I'm going to bed, you ladies will have me up til 5am on this board (I'm addicted):yep:

Nite!

Yeah, I learned on the board that DCs at least twice a week REALLY helps with NG...and a nice #3 Denman brush and good blow drying technique, too! :grin:

Also, I've found that Phytorelaxers make my hair look fresher longer. I was planning on stretching until December before I cut it. Short hair doesn't allow that luxury anymore. I was ready to touch up the really short areas last week, but I had just done the color.

I'm addicted, too! Done overslept for work MANY mornings! LOL!

You owned a salon? Where? Wow!

I got my hair cut at the Aveda Institute in Atlanta. Their curriculum is a year long--provided that the student goes non-stop, but most of them take a couple weeks to a month off. They learn all the techniques from cutting to chemicals and everything in between.

Melissa--the student--told me that when she graduates, she wanted to do the whole line of hair services at her new salon, but upscale yt salons only lets their stylists specialize in a certain specialty; so she said if she had to make a choice, she would choose cutting or color, because they allow the most creativity and are the most profitable.

The Institute is really a good bang for the buck! Not only you get the top-of-the-line, up-to-date services; they also use Aveda products!

I love short styles! You go girl! It is very nice.

I was about to say the same thing.

I love your ink :love: is it a full sleeve?
Click to expand...

It's a half-sleeve; it took 13 hours to do (but not all in one sitting, though). I wasn't bold enough to go all the way down to my wrists. Maybe I will someday. Sometimes I wanna be conservative and wear 3/4-length sleeves to cover it. :grin:

Pink Gator, that hair cut looks really nice on you. Like the previous poster said, it's nice to put a name with a face. Oh, love the color.

The short hair suits you, women don't necessarily have to have long hair to look beautiful.

:lachen:@ Hi Sebastian! LOL!!!!

Well, thanks for the compliments! It was the least I could do (putting pix up) since my LHCF sisters have been putting up really nice ones that have given me inspiration!

I LOVE IT!!!! Man this makes me want to cut my hair. So cute! I love a good precision cut.
Click to expand...

See there!

That's what happened to me!

There's this contestant, Johanna, on that CW show "Stylista," whose precision cut is off the chain! She inspired me to cut off mine!



Another one whose cut I like is Samantha from this cycle's America's Next Top Model; she can do so many styles with it:



Still another one Holly from Make Me A Supermodel. I loved her original bob style, but her cut even more:
