So if you know me or have been following my blog for awhile, you may know that I have long straight hair. I also have had this same style for almost the last 20 years...yep I am not a fan of change...but as I am getting older I am finding it harder to wear bows in my ponytails...Yep I am 37 years old and I was wearing bows in my ponytails up until Saturday! Well I got tired of it so I decided to cut it! AAHHHHH!!! I DID WHAT?! I decided to cut it!
Here are the BEFORE pictures...
...from the back...
...from the back... ...and now from the front...
My hair was mostly one length...long...and the older I got the frizzier it got! I had some long layers in it, but living in the hotness of AZ summers I usually just wore it up in a pony most days!
Well one of my good friends, Maurin, is an awesome hairdresser (she is also another coach's wife!). So on a whim I texted her and asked if she could cut my hair. 2 hours later I was in her chair saying "Do whatever you want." Apparently that is a hairdresser dream! She got this huge smile on her face and just looked at me & played with my hair for a few minutes...and then the cutting began...

AAAHHHHH...Over 5 inches...5 inches...was cut from my hair. I am not gonna lie, after the first cut I was a little shell shocked and thought to myself " Self...OMGosh...WHAT DID I JUST DO?!" But I put my trust in my friend and I think it turned out great!
What do you think?
But I must say that I am loving my new do!
Short and sassy with fringe (that is what they call bangs now-a-days apparently!) and layers! This is a HUGE thing for a girl who only gets a haircut once a year and loves her ponytails!

I love it and the low maintainence part you are gonna love. I blow dry and go now too no more curling iron.
Super cute. You know I am a fan of short hair. But the big question is...can you still pull it up? just in case you are having a ponytail day? It looks like you might be able too...which would still be nice for cleaning the house days. I love it. Nice job Maurin! I am trying to let mine grow a little so I can pull it up too, but we all know how that always turns out. lOL
Love it! The cut, color, everything. It looks so healthy.
Just in time for summer!
I LOVE it! I'm like you...I get a haircut once a year. i love how it turned out and you look great! It's amazing how much a haircut can change how you look! Does your friend drive a distance, haha! great job! I bet it feels great to have it shorter!
Hey Stacey,
Love your new cut, its looks great!! Its a perfect length to do anything with too.
Love, Laura
OMG!!!!!!! It's absolutely gorgeous and I love how it brightens up your face! You have a winner!
I LOVE IT! So super cute! I bet it feels good too.
Wow your hair looks awesome! I love your new cut and style, it looks great on you.
I love it! I just became a fan of that length hair :) I cut mine about 2 weeks ago and love it, too. It feels so clean. You look very cute. I think it was a great decision and you look years younger.
It looks so good Stacey!!!
I wear mine in a pony tail way to often,but it's so easy to do.
SO CUTE!!!
Seriously, I went for my annual haircut on Friday. I don't mean to do that- I am just lazy with my hair unless I have a short haircut. I'm thinking about going short again. Enough about me... Your hair looks wonderful! Can I say it? I will. I think it makes you look younger. Such a fun style for you!
Looks FANTASTIC! I could never give someone free rein on my hair, good for you, she did a great job and you look wondeful!!
Looks really good! You look younger!
It looks GREAT
Checking in on some of my favorite bloggers and have to say, "I LOVE IT!" You look so young and sassy! You look great Stacey!
It does look good. I'm one of those once a year haircuts too! Glad to know I am not alone.
It looks beautiful, Stacey. You were brave and it sure paid off!
I love it! I need to get my hair cut so badly.
Ok don't take this the wrong way but you look younger with that cut!! I mean you did not look older by any means but it is very sassy and I think your hair is just perfect now!!!
Also- A secret I learned about to get rid of all the fizz in your hair is called a Brazilian (NOT WAX) but treatment for your hair..it is about $80 at a salon here but it is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome cut Maurin....when can I fly in?
I love it, now please tell your cousins to do the same. It looks great,
Love Aunt Judy
