Locks of Love: Finale + EOTD

Hi there!
 So... today was the day! I went and donated my hair to Locks of Love today. I must say, it was a completely painless and wonderful experience. The people over at Absolut Hair, and specifically my stylist Nicolette was awesome. I went in with a very VAGUE idea of what I wanted and left with what I think is a super cute, totally everyday wearable cut. Yay!  Best of all, is all the hair I got to donate to such a wonderful charity! <3  Ok.. so here's the photos I'm sure you are all here to see.. so without further ado, heres my new doo. LoL *insert cheesy grin here*

Thats FOUR ponytails, 15+ inches long each!

Oh yeah.. I also wanted to share with you guys my EOTD for today! It was really neat, and I got quite a few compliments on it today. I wanted something bright and fun for my new haircut!

So that's it ladies & gents. What do you think?

Locks of Love part Deux

Hi there! 

So, I know I posted way back in December with questions about the Locks of Love program, remember that? :D Well I finally found a salon in my area who participates! Yay! I've set up an appointment for this Tuesday, and I'm getting ready for my first haircut in like ... ohhhhh.. 7 years or so. I use to keep my hair SUPER short, see like this: Yeah. That meant constant custom dye jobs and cuts every 2-3 weeks. I loved it!

My cute short hair

But I've been growing and growing it, I don't really know why. Maybe I just got lazy. Maybe it's because I moved out of the city and into a town with less than 300 population. Well.. I'm now back in the city again and It's certainly time for a change.

My long hair.

As soon as I made the appointment. I started getting butterflies in my tummy. I know I'm ready to get rid of my long hair, its SUCH a pain at this length, and honestly it gets pulled back in ugly pony's or buns most of the time anyway. (sadly). I'm also SUPER excited that my hair might put a smile on a little ones face. That makes me grin from ear to ear to think about.  On the other hand.. I also have to say I'm a little nervous about getting rid of all my hair. I've had it so many years now, it's kind of turned into some sort of security blanket for me.

So.. heres to all good things. A super cute short cut for me & a new wig for some little princess out there. Ill post the third part mid-week after my appointment. Showing you all the final resul!

Just as a little reminder guys, Locks of Love also takes financial donations too!! So don't feel like you can't do something great just because you don't really wanna or cant give up your hair! :D

Have you ever donated to charity before? What do you think about this program?

Locks Of Love

Hello 'true believers! I was talking to my mom tonight and she suggested we look around for salons that participate in a program called "Locks of Love" or something like it. I'm looking to get roughly 20-24" of hair cut off, and I know there are salons that participate in giving real hair to programs that make hair pieces for children in need. I've also heard that they will do the cut for gratuity..Does anyone know any good salons in the greater Seattle area that are a part of this program? Thanks for any information you may have!

Not the most flattering pic of me.. But you get an idea of how long my hair is :D

New Cut for Mr.KittyKaBoom

Jinkies! Lately.. I think my husband is turning more and more into Shaggy Rogers ... you know... from Scooby Doo. Anyway...  I've been bugging him for weeks to get a cut. Today, I finally got him sat down in a chair long enough for me to take my shears to him. *giggles* Here are a few "Before" pictures just so you know what I was working with..

And here are the "AFTER" photos....

Mr.KittyKaBoom After

I think it turned out rather well, if I do say so myself. I am quite pleased with it.
Its a clippered blend of a guard #1 into a guard #2 blended into a scissor cut (shorter than usual) layered top. I figured, he's not gonna wanna sit and get it cut AGAIN before the holidays so I just cut it a little shorter than usual to allow for hopefully not too much grow out by then. :D Can you see what a difference a hair cut makes on your face shape and stuff.. its crazy huh?
