Haircut on a whim?

I have always had very long hair. And when I was a teenager I decided while passing a salon that I wanted to cut my hair! I have no idea what possessed me to walk in there. But at the time my hair was straight (flat ironed) and when the stylist wet my hair to cut it, it got curly (I have naturally curly ringlet curls) unfortunately when its curly it is also shorter so I couldn’t even get a good impression of how much she was cutting. I told her I just wanted four inches...she cut way more. When I went home and flat ironed my hair it was shoulder length. For me this was very short since my hair had been down to my waist (as it is now) and I had never had such short hair! I was really upset and it took me a long time to trust another hair dresser. Fortunately for me it grew back and I opted for long layers.

I had tonsillitis 2 years ago and was in a generally bad mood. It was summer and I was moving to an even hotter climate in the following week. All that plus an argument with my mother sent me running to the hair salon.
I got in the chair and told the hairdresser I wanted a 1920's cut. So I went from waist length to chin length.
I told the hairdresser that my mother was going to kill me (I was almost 18 at the time)  to which she replied "Your not going to see her for a while are you?"
"No! I'll go home in a few hours"
I left the salon, and began walking to my car. As I crossed the road my mothers car pulled up at the crossing - I stopped and stared at her, and you could see the moment where she went from being annoyed at the slow pedestrian to realizing it was me ... There was a lot of dropped jaw (I'd never seen sometime do that in real life until then)

In short I was happy with the results, Mother significantly less so.
