Good pictures are a must when 1. Going to a new stylist and 2. Making a major change.
If possible, I would have several (showing front, sides and back (if possible).  Your final result may look a little different depending on hair texture, facial structure...but pics provide a great guide.

Good point around not worrying about what is cut off! I am anxious & excited at the same time, and I am hoping to start step 1 this week (provided I can get an appointment).

Since I will also be doing this with a new stylist, do you think I should take pictures of all the stages I might be considering with me to my 1st appointment?

I think you've already determined the stages now all that is left to do is execute and make an appointment and let the cutting begin.  Enjoy your adventure and don't worry about the hair that hits the salon floor; concentrate on how good the hair on your head looks.

Long time lurker, first time poster...

I have pretty much worn my hair the same way for tooo long. Shoulder length & wavy -- with a few long layers. So I am working up the nerve to go short. But I think I want to do it gradually.

I am thinking first stage: neck length bob. Then jaw length bob. Then short stacked bob. Then something in between long pixie and short stack -- with the nape cut pretty close in. I have a lot of curl in my hair, so that is something I have to consider. (hence the stages will help see what my hair does along the way)

Would love help in deciding the transitional stages as well as the final cut.

Thanks!
