Sneaky with the Scissors...

I have been talking about chopping my hair off for a few weeks now, and I finally got an appointment with my ever so busy hair stylist this week. It hasn't been really short since I was pregnant with Braden, but I have cut it to my shoulders a few times since then. I was still a little undecided as far as how short I wanted to go, but my criteria was that I wanted an easy cut, something that won't take an hour to round brush ect. And something that would be super easy on our trip this summer. I knew I needed to get the color redone since it had been since Thanksgiving that I had it done last, so I was sitting in the chair and my sister got this devilish look on her face, and I said, "well, we don't have to decide till after we color it right?" And she says, "Uh huh" and I feel the snip of the scissors at the nape of my neck! No turning back now! I was committed. My other sister Robyn, who does hair in Ut, also made the wise comment that why would she waste all the extra effort coloring the hair she was gonna cut off. Good point. So after a quick rough cut, color, and was I was ready. We kept going shorter here, and shorter there. We didn't think it looked right, so we went a little shorter still. (oh, and by We I mean Rhonda) Just teasing sis, I love it. I had just a few hours before I had to pick Rusty up from the airport with my new 'do. He had been in Dallas for a few days and thought I wasn't getting my haircut until after he got back. Rusty, once he finally noticed (I'll give him a break 1. it was dark in the car 2. he was jet lagged...) was shocked, but I think he likes it. Whew! It is already so much easier on me. No worries about hair-ties and headbands to keep it up and there is hardly anything for Berk to pull on! Hooray! Bring on the hot AZ summers, I am ready for it! Thanks RHO you are the best!

I love it! I wish I had Rhonda or Robin around. I hate trying to find a good stylist. I usually just give up, and boy, does my style (or lack thereof) show it.

Very cute and sassy! I am in the same boat-sick of getting my hair pulled CONSTANTLY! I had a similar experience with Rhonda when I was deciding whether to cut bangs or not...she said "You've been thinking about this long enough" and before I could protest, the scissors were snipping away.

Mary said...

Of course you had gorgeous hair before, but I love love LOVE the new cut! That is so cute! Way to go Rhonda! She cracks me up.

Becky said...

Super cute!! I loved having a similar cut, just hated having to get it cut so often... guess it's a good thing you have hairstylists for sisters!! Love it!

Holy cow! That's a huge change, but it looks awesome. Can Rhonda PLEASE come visit me and do my hair too? I seriously will take scissors and a razor to my hair if someone doesn't come help me quick. ;) My hair is driving me bonkers, but of course, I still haven't found a stylist here in California (we don't need to talk about how long I've lived here. You can just look at my hair for proof.). You will LOVE not having to worry about your hair while you're on your DREAM CRUISE!

Okay so wait... you are going on a cruise this summer? And you are stopping in Cyprus at some point? Seriously?!? Or were you kidding? If you do come here, you have to meet up with me somehow... I will take you to the best nude beaches... LOL... KIDDING! But that would be fun to see you!

So cute! I love that haircut. Although I think you are slightly crazy for cutting off all your beautiful long hair because I would give anything to have my hair be that long right now. I love your comments about Rhonda deciding everything!! SO funny. BTW, I am ready for a cute brown and cute black necklace. CALL ME!

Lauren said...

Caryn, I'm just getting caught up on your blog. Your hair is darling! I love it and you are so brave to cut that much off! I'm starting to get a little nervous for these AZ summers. I'm sure that it'll be brutal especially since it's our first one here. :) I think that I'll be going in a ponytail for quite a while... Maybe we'll run into each other...
