chop!

Finally feeling better! I thought I was doing just fine until Friday when I almost fainted :S Went to the doctor and it turns out I am prone to vasovagal episodes (a classic fainting spell!)  I guess since my body was fighting off the illness it was telling me to take it easy, so I listened and stayed home on Friday and have been resting most of the weekend.

Anyway, now that I'm on the path to recovery I can finally share the most exciting thing I did this weekend!  I was in desperate need of a good haircut since my hair hadn't seen scissors in over 5 months!  I headed to VAIN salon in Ballard for a refreshing new cut!






It is so great to have real body to my hair and not have to try to get volume up top from the weight of all my hair.  The other great thing my stylist Lucie did was give me bangs that can actually sweep left or right, which gives me more versatility when styling! 


If you are (or will be) in Seattle I highly recommend Lucie at the VAIN Ballard location.  First off, you get hot tea while you wait, an amazing scalp massage and minty shampoo, and a stylist who listens to your needs.  I wanted a bit more fringe than just a short layer, and Lucie gave me the most perfect bangs ever!  I told her I was very open to the length and while it was shorter than I was thinking of going when I went in, I'm really happy with the fun change!  (I'm even tempted to go shorter next time?)


So thank VAIN and Lucie for refreshing my style!
