Before / After.

May 4, 2010 by Michelle Hinckley |

Before.

After.

“That’s a boy haircut,” was the reply of my 5 year old.

Adios ponytail.

I was sweating profusely during my haircut.
I couldn’t tell if it was because I had so much anxiety about chopping my locks or if it was because Christopher, the stylist, was so cute.

If you need a new “do” go see Chris at Circa 79.
Tell him Michelle sent you.

    Seeing your new do makes me want a new do… I’m growing my hair out currently and while it’s really long, I would just DIE for a cut like you got! Seriously the weight that is lifted from just your hair being cut is AMAZING! Your style is so cute and I absolutely LOVE the cut!! Great choice!

    I’m sooo tempted to chop my hair. I want a cute trendy hair do and I think you may have just tipped the scale and made me want to do it!

    Short and chic. I like it alot. Short is best; easiest when you dress up or down like give it a lot of goo to spike it up or “wash and wear” it. See you in a couple of days.
