Hairrrrrrrrcut

So for the past oh...3 months, I have been talking about how I needed to get my haircut. Days went by faster than they should have, and I never really found the time. However, today I realized that the amount of split ends I had were increasing daily, and while they kept me occupied during downtime at work, it probably wasn't very healthy for my hair. So I bit the bullet and called Paul Mitchell hair school here in Provo. I haven't ever been to a hairschool in the past to get my haircut, but not wanting to drop 20-30 bucks on a haircut, I called them up at made an appointment for today.

For some reason, I got all nervous and wasn't sure if I really wanted to cut my hair. I mean, it was pretty dang long:

Although it looks kind of gross in the above picture, it did look nice one I straightened or curled it. Anyways, despite my hesitations, I went in there and got my haircut. Can I just say, it was probably the best hair cutting experiences of my life. They start out by asking you what you want, and then one of the teachers comes over and analyzes your hair. As most hair stylists do, they gasped at my split ends and told me that I need more moisture in my hair because, since it was very staticy, that is the number one sign of dry hair. And really can't have that. Then after this, I get an awesome shampoo and conditioning, with products selected JUST for me and my dry hair. After that, my stylist cut my hair, along the way having her supervisor come and make sure she was doing it perfect. After all the cutting was done, she blow dried it, put product in it, straightened, and styled it. And how much did this all cost? 8 bucks. This same treatment at some other salon would have put me out a whole lot more. So, moral of the story is, go to a beauty school to get your hair done. It's totally worth it. And the people there are so enthusiastic and happy. I love it.

Oh, and every time I go get my haircut, I have a sudden desire to go to beauty school. Someday...Someday. I also like going in, because, despite the fact that my hair is always criticized for being so dry, my hair is complimented on it's "stunning, beautiful, natural highlights" and often get accused of highlighting my hair...haha.

Here's a picture. It's a lot shorter than I had originally anticipated, but that's okay. My hair grows like a weed. Cortney and I always talk about how we don't want to cut our hair short in case we get married (because really, who doesn't want long beautimous hair in their wedding picutures?!) but since I don't intend on getting married in the next few months, I figured it was safe. My hair grows like a weed anyways. It'll be long again in about 4-5 months.

And just for your viewing pleasure, my current favorite song, I'd Rather Be With You by Joshua Radin. My friend, Anna, posted it on her blog awhile back and I'm obsessed. If you're lucky, you may hear it as my caller tune when you call me. That's actually a lie, because it's only set for one person. But maybe you're that lucky someone. Everyone else get's Love Like Crazy...an equally amazing song. (By the way, ya'll should check out Anna's photography site. She's amazin'. Just sayin')
