Don't listen to stylists when they say you have to wear your hair a certain wy for your face shape-- all they're interested in is creating the illusion of a "perfect" oval face on everyone :-P . Individuality is good! Embrace your own unique face shape!
You went to the Vidal Sassoon and didn't even come out with anything edgy? Bleh, what a rip-off! Whatever happened to all the cool innovations they used to make? Are they not into that anymore?
More awesome than a manatee!

I'm glad you like the final result.I can sympathize.Whenever I get my hair done they always pile in products and tease my hair up.Without fail I'll end up with a sort of bouffant style,lol.So after every cut I go home and take a nap.After the nap my hair has finally been tamed.Plus the ten products they put on my hair kept the initial shape.Helmet hair is gone.And I'm ready to go out looking normal again.I remember one time I told the stylist to use products sparingly and style it so its straight and sleek(like my natural texture).I swear she looked at me like I'd said somethething blasphemous,lol.She acted like you dont want your hair the size of texas and to stay that way til the end of time,lol.

I went to the Vidal Sassoon School with my friend Nikki, today. I
was hoping they'd do something short and fun with my hair. They
separated me from Nikki and with all the people that had appointments
they took us to about 5 different buildings. The students were
Japanese and didn't speak any English--thank goodness for
translators! The instructor had my student take my length up
about an inch or so (it's a bit below my chin now, where it was before
I left the states for London in September) and had him give me layers
for volume and to enhance my curl, and blended my crappy home-made
fringe with the rest of my hair. In essence, it's the same cut I
had when I left the States. And then the instructor proceeded to
have the student use two different mousses in my hair, twirl each
section separately, diffuse my hair, and then toussle it. Now I
have gross feeling hair (it's not even shiny because of so much
product) that is pretty much the same style I've had for years (with
varying lengths). Granted, it looks great on me, I was just
hoping for something different and fun. I'm starting to think I
should resort to color for that....I'm thinking purple streaks
Oh yea...when the instructor was doing my consultation he said that I
can't go too short with the overall length or my face will appear too
round (I didn't even ask...) So, that pretty much destroyed my
idea of ever trying something shorter
I'd post pictures...but I don't know how. And I look like crap
because I've been walking around the wintry London city-ness all day!
(although the hair amazing stayed practically the same the whole
day...I'm assuming due to the massive amounts of product).
And enough of my blabbing on about nothing! More about your hair
