Snip Snip
Soon, my already busy schedule is going to get busier…I know…what else could I possibly squeeze in, right….well, I was asked to provide some things with my new commitments…one of them being a headshot. And as I went into my photo files to grab a picture, I realized something…
1. most of my photos are with Will & Jeremy
b. all of my photos I am sporting long hair (like our Christmas photo) or a ponytail (like for the Pinterest Challenge)
4. that’s all…
So I finally cashed in that Groupon that I bought months ago for a new haircut and some highlights (which I have never done!).
And then I guilted Jer into taking some photos of me outside…which is surprisingly awkward.
I was going for a little Katie Holmes cut – except I have a way bigger forehead and a higher hairline and a ton more folicles.
Thankfully I had a great great stylist Amanda (who was right outta beauty school) and she conservatively snipped my locks till they were the perfect angular bob.
It’s shorter in the back than in the front. And Amanda suggested the caramel highlights…which she did with foil and dye minus bleach (apparently she could do that with my virgin hair). I love love love it.
Jer likes it tucked behind the ears.
And the best part? I can pin back my bangs and still pull it into a ponytail (she warned me that I probably couldn’t – but happy surprise!) so it doesn’t get in my way when I’m painting or taking photos.
Obviously, I didn’t ‘fix’ it as smoothly and straight but with a ton of volume as Amanda could but for me to be able to wash, dry and fix it in under forty minutes is a HUGE bonus…since I couldn’t do that in twice that time when it was long.
And here it is from the back. Best part? I got to donate over 16 inches! Three big hunks that hopefully can help someone else! Donation is like a giant piece of Godiva chocolate cheesecake…and a good cut on top of that is like eating it after a lunch of bacon.
Oh and just so you know – I went to Salon Disegno in Lawrenceville (it’s right next to Target and TJMaxx – you know I love that shopping center!) and they have this great deal going on right now – get $20 off your first visit! (tell them I referred you and I’ll get $20 off too! pretty pretty please!) That means that a child or men’s haircut is only $3. Yeah. Awesomesauce.
Here’s the number #770-962-3060
Oh and I loved Amanda so tell her I said hi!
So let’s talk hair – what is your favorite hair related thing…product, cut, styling tool…are you a bangs girl…or maybe my dudes out there wanna talk what they dig on girls…I know boys like blondes…but is there something more we should know?
Your new style looks AMAZING!!! Super cute! I have tried the bob thing before, but it never turned out that cute. Maybe I should try it with the shorter in the back and longer in the front part (always had mine the same length). Anyhoo, it looks GREAT! And I totally agree with a number of the comments here, your photos are so adorable, you posed great and looked like a model!
I Love Love Love it!! I need to get my hair cut so badly as well. I think it’s too thick/I’m too lazy to get it cut that short, but it looks fab on you.
Love the new cut!! New girl out of beauty school does good work!!
Love your hair cut! It’s super cute and I bet so easy to keep up!
Another lover of your cut! One of my personal fav’s and it looks great on you too! Amazing how a cut can make you feel so different. Glad you’re enjoying it!
Love the hair!!
Looks great – you were meant for bangs!
Love the hair!! Looks greatI I think you were meant for bangs – they look absolutely fabulous on you!
I looove the new look!
You looks SO pretty.
Katie Bower – it looks soooooooo good! You looked great before of course, but I’m amazed at how well that cut suits you! You look modern and fun but still professional and polished. I typically love long hair, but this has me considering a cut myself. Great choice and great work for your stylist!
Also tell the hubby he did a great job on the photos.
I don’t know that I’ve ever commented here before, but this warrants it…love Love LOVE your hair!!! Beautiful!!
You are so stinkin’ adorable.
xoxo!

LOVE the haircut, Katie! It’s so cute. Pictures turned out great too!
Oh my! I love, love, love it too!! So beautiful.
You mentioned the pinterest challenge…are you going to be doing that again…I thought it was going to in January…did I miss it? Thanks!
love the new cut! You’re stunning!
KATIE I LOVE IT! I’m going to be the 404th person to say this, but I don’t care. You need to hear it. It’s amazingly gorgeous. It just matches your face structure so well. And it makes you look so much younger (even though you were (& ARE) already gorgeous!!)
I hope you keep it up. It’s awesome. And I love how the bangs can be full “across the forehead bangs” or “pushed to the side bangs”
It looks great girl!
Just ran across your blog while surfing, and WOW love this haircut! It is great and you look beautiful!
