Hi im a newbie

My wife has followed the lady that cut her hair for years.  Then my wife missed her hair cut appt b/c she had to come to my mothers funeral.  She was going out of town the following Wednesday and her stylist would not call her back.  My wife called her friend, who had just gotten a great short cut from her stylist, and got an appt immediately.  She got the best cut EVER and was a fraction of the cost of her prior lady.  Needless to say, she still goes to the new guy.  The point being, the most expensive person does not necessarily do the best job!  As evidenced by my wife spending WAYYYY too much money with this lady who NEVER cut her hair the way the picture showed.

Hey Laurie82, here are some random shorter hairstyles, maybe one will peak your interest.  Good luck!

Laurie82 - good luck with going short.  It may be worth considering having the sides cut completely around the ears.  Leaving an odd inch partially covering them may result in it being more difficult to manage as these sections may develop a life of their own and stick out at inconvenient times thereby spoiling your enjoyment of short hair.  Just a thought.

Thanks for the encouragement.  I have talked to a few of my friends about it and they are encouraging me to go for it as has my boyfriend.  I am looking for a style that is professional and very low maintenance.  I literally want to be able to towel dry it in the morning and then brush it to the side and be done with it.  One of my friends who has short hair says you need to be careful picking the style as it can actually be more work than long hair.  So I am leaning towards a really short side parted style, although I am not sure exactly how short yet. I am thinking about having it at least above the ear lobes, maybe higher and a bit above the collar with lots of layers. Right now it is the shortest it has ever been, it is just below the shoulders (one length), so I am a little nervous about taking the plunge. My boyfriend and I are going away on vacation early next month and I am planning to have it done before we leave.

I really like your haircut. I am considering getting something very similar. My hair length is currently just below my shoulder (one length).  I am a little nervous about the reaction from my friends. My boyfriend won't be a problem, he is actually encouraging me to do it. But I was wondering if you got much of reaction from your friend or co workers. Was it difficult to find the right stylist?  I am also curious how you had it cut in the back, is it down to the collar or shorter? Do you have to go back often for to keep it trimmed? Sorry for all the questions, but I have never had short hair before.

A little chameleon aren't you.  I agree with Hawg, going the right direction.

This one will do for now, & I'm planning to keep this pixie cut for a while. I missed short hair.

Thanks!!

I would ask your stylist what would work "best" for your hair.

That's why I posted my question here in the first place; I asked my stylist but he just said I could use any styling gel. :(

I would imagine that I would just sample a few.  It all depends on what you are looking for in the product.

Thanks for your reply conrad. :)

Thanks GC2599 .

It wasn't too long ,not even shoulder length .Money is not an issue as long as the product truly works .
