And the after................
I was gone almost FOUR hours! It was heavenly! So, this is my quick picture and all I have to show you for now. I am sure there will be plenty more dazzling photos of me in the future.
Maybe not as dramatic as some had hoped, but I like the idea of growing my hair out a bit but having a shape again, and some sassy color. I tried to take a pic so you could really see the color- almost like a purple plum... love it!
I am not saying there was anything specifically wrong with my "before" except that it was old and boring and unshapely to me.
I must say thanks to Mom (who gave me a gift certificate to my salon) and to hubby (who crashed as soon as I got home) for making this all happen!
"The Before" below:
Fuzzy and stringy. Oh, and you can see the etsy necklace that I received from Carrington & Arianne for doula-ing.
Can't wait to see the new hair!
ReplyDeleteI think your hair looks great now!
ReplyDeleteI do like the necklace too!
It's cute now. But I can't wait to see the makeover! :-)
ReplyDeletethe excitement has reached a fever pitch...
ReplyDeletedid you curl your eyelashes? very pretty! :)
Love the necklace!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the 'after'!
Oh please Steph...this is what you are complaining about? I am sure your hair will look slammin' when you get back, but I already thought this was cute! Great picture!
ReplyDeleteI wish my before looked this good! Can't wait to see the after though!
ReplyDeleteUm, yeah. Your stringy hair has mine beat any day. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the new do! You can't possibly get any cuter!
ReplyDeleteOn the edge of my seat! Stringy and frizzy my butt though, I'd love to have hair like that. You want to see frizzy? Come on over!
ReplyDeleteThat is so not fair.....
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the new hair 'cause I just cut 1/2 a foot off of mine and it looks like your before, so now I'm wonderin' what else I could do with it.
ReplyDeleteLoving the build up. Tell your stylist this had better be good!
ReplyDeleteYour necklace is adorable. Was that your first doula-ing experience?
Looking forward to seeing the new do! You look like you've lost weight too! Great pic! BTW, love the necklace! Such a great gift!
ReplyDeletesoooooooo.........where is it? Oh, and I "heart" your necklace.
ReplyDeleteI think your hair is beautiful before...You could shave your head and it wouldn't matter!
ReplyDeleteWOW - your hair is great - what are you talking about your beautiful girl, but I hear you a new look is always nice - I cant wait to see it, sooo where is it already? :D
ReplyDeleteOk, I first saw the photo thinking "boy, she didn't go THAT dramatically different", but that's a BEFORE photo. HA! Why do I always jump to conclusions????
ReplyDeleteSEND A PIC!

OHHH IT'S CUTE - I really like the color!
ReplyDeleteAhem .. you look gorgeous as ever in all three shots. Happy belated Christmas and New Years Steph!! I was thinking of you over the holidays - I just didn't have computer access.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm loving the color and the bang action. I bet the getaway was awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm desperate to find someone who can do my hair, my old stylist had a baby and it's been so long since I've had it done that I've got roots going like crazy here and it's not pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love the plum purple color! It looks great! Now I wish I had dark hair so I could rock something cool like that...
ReplyDeleteLove the new hair look and I'm glad you were able to get away for a time.
I think the before picture is very nice, but I LOVE the after! Lovin' the bangs, and the color is great!! Don't you feel like a new woman?!?! I love going to the salon! ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely - nice smile too.
ReplyDeleteI'm having a little give-way over at my blog to celebrate one year of blogging - no gimicks - just some fun.

Looks fresh, for the new year. Nice color.
ReplyDeleteI love the new do! A new haircut always makes me feel like a million bucks!
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful..It is very vibrant and fresh looking. I am glad you got some pampering done for yourself. At first glance, I thought you looked like Ashlee.
ReplyDeleteOooh, love it! And the whispy bang near the front -- cute! And you did go back to that red highlight, which you know I thought was groovy.
ReplyDeleteENJOY THE DO!
Lori
PS We are getting ready for our Star Wars trip!!!
I love it! You look so much more bright, and the color totally goes with your skin tone! I am so glad you enjoyed your 4 hours alone! YAY for mommy time!
ReplyDeleteI noticed your makeup in that last pic. 1st. It looks so pretty. :-) cant wait to see more pics.
ReplyDeleteI had purple highlights when we lived in ohio but it wasnt as noticable as id hope... since my hairs so dark they had trouble pulling purple from it. Its such a fun color tho!
Hi Steph!!
ReplyDeleteI love your hair. It looks awesome!! You have inspired me to so something with mine!!
Happy New Year!!

Audrey
Oh Steph, I am LOVING the purple-ish color. It's hot!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! My mom thinks it's fab too!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! You are stylish and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOoooo, I see some bangs...not that's daring! It looks great.
ReplyDeleteIt looks AWESOME! LOVE the color!
ReplyDeleteyou are absolutely gorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! You're inspiring me to do a little color for the first time this year...
ReplyDeleteI love love love the color!! It looks awesome!!! I so need a haircut. .My layers look aweful and my gray hair looks like a skunk has set up residence on my head!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it!! Very nice. No, not dramatic, but very pretty. That's a great length on you.
ReplyDeleteLooks adorable! Wish I could be brave enough to try something new!
ReplyDeleteVery nice look. I'm trying to grow mine out a bit now, too. I need a trim though. You might have inspired me to get more of a shape than just a trim.
ReplyDeleteNell
I love it! I've always wanted to dye my hair purple, but I'm kinda blonde and I feared it would be too loud. But it looks wonderful on you, just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I need to chop my hair but am waiting until it gets hot again. I'm probably going to cut about 18 inches so my hair might end up looking like yours! I'm too lazy to get it colored though. Your new color looks awesome though!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I cut my own bangs yesterday on a whim, with my glasses on. BAD idea...
ReplyDeleteYou look great!
ReplyDeleteLove, Love, Love the new hair!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm getting mine done really soon too!
Looking good, love!
ReplyDeletei love it! great color and cut. it looks great on you.
ReplyDeletei'm so in need of a cut myself, but i keep putting it off. i know i'd feel better if i just did it. maybe this weekend. :)
I like the Before AND After ?!?!? I love those getaways, too :-)
ReplyDeleteTrish

ReplyDeleteI love the bangs! soooo cute! YOu look so much younger and oh so sassy!
ReplyDeleteLove the color! I used to have a similiar color and you are making me miss my old hair.
