The Haircut

It's done. My stylist talked me into going shorter than Jen's hair to have more of a change, and I talked her into more bangs than she wanted to do. She has been cutting my hair for nearly a decade, so we trust each other. Not to mention I am kind of having a mid-life crisis (let's not forget I turn 38 this month), so I kind of don't give a crap. Except that I kind of do, and I kind of freaked out the whole way home.

What do you think? Huh? Huh? HUH?

I am thinking I will like it more when it grows in a bit, that I did indeed go a tad too short. And probably a BMW would be way more fun for a mid-life crisis.

But let me know what you think. And then I will stop yapping about it.

It's super cute! Yes, it's short and that shock will wear off. I can see what you're saying about letting it grow in a bit. . . but not in a bad way, it's just a big change. You're freaking adorable! (Haircuts are way cheaper than BMWs plus you can change the color.)

I like it! I'm such a fan of short hair...I wore my hair like that for years. I think you look cute, and I dig the color too. :)

Well, I, for one, love it. I felt pretty milquetoast about my cut immediately after, but it's been almost two weeks, and I love it. So glad I did it. I'm happy I could be your hair muse!

I love love love it, Aimee! It *is* a great cut (kudos to your stylist) and you wear it *very* well. Katie Holmes just cut her hair shorter - you're in good company (or rather she is...).

You could blow the sides forward and push the bangs to the side :)

Yay short hair!

Blogger Jen said...

OK, scratch the word "milquetoast." I thought it meant something different. What I meant was, I felt pretty meh about my hair immediately after. But now: so happy!

It's sassy! It's just too darned cute!

Mid-life crisis at 38? No!!! You have two more years to go. I was miserable last year. Now I don't care. Depending on the situation, my tagline is: I don't do that, I'm 40. or I'm 40; I can do anything I want. I like the latter better.

Super Cute...I am sure it is very easy to maintain as well...when I went short it cut my time to get ready in the morning by a big chunk...of course now I am letting it grow back out :")

I'm going to be the only shit on the net to say I like it long better. I like it - and as it's been said, you have a face (and smile) that can handle any cut, but I REALLY loved the long blunt look. Keep in mind I've warn my hair quite short for about four years now and am trying to GET to your old length. The color is perfect and I love the scattered part. Can you get it to look that way yourself? I never can. What I love and respect about this haircut (and Greeblemonkey in general) is the balls it took to take the risk. That's the way to handle a mid-life crisis!

Ok. You can officially stop freakin' out. It's awesome. You're probably freaking over the change, not the cut. I love it. I also plan to go back to my usual (nearly shaved) head this summer. This girlie hair thing is a drag. Short is SEXY. Totally. Love it. :) - Rachel S.

i love it! and now, oh crap, you are inspiring me to go and get my own hair cut this weekend when my hub and i are having a spa day. why not add on a hair consultation and get it chopped short and cute like yours? except of course, mine will not be able to be quite as short and cute as yours because my hair is thick and curly! i'm not sure what the solution will be to that one. but anyway, i love your cut, thinks it's muy cute on you, and appreciate being inspired!

by the way, i linked to you in my latest blog post, thanking you for the jason mraz video, which i have also posted on my blog for others to enjoy. :)

Make sure the BMW is a convertible so you can show off the cuteness.

Big thumbs up on the highlights!

You guys are killing me with kindness. Seriously! xoxoxox

And Meg, I actually do think my other cut is more flattering, but I was ready for a change. I am still a bit freaked out about it and will feel better when it's a little less mushroom-like... but it will be fun for the summer and maybe next winter I will grow it back out. My hair grows SUPER fast.

Oh, and it's wild to have my peripheral vision on the right side back again.

Oh, and one more thing - the color is actually the same color she always does, although I asked her to bump the highlights up a bit for spring... but she said the color would look different with a different cut, esp shorter - and she was right!
