Don't Be Shy

I tend to be an all or nothing kind of girl. Life is too short to be overly cautious, especially when it comes to my hair. If I'm gonna make a change, chances are, I'm doing it big!

As you already saw, I got my hair cut by Chloe a couple days ago. Although I've been loving every second of my cut, I felt a deep urgency to change my color too. After all, I've been a brunette for over a year, which I'll equate to dog years. That's a long time people!

I knew to look no further than the one and only Sharon Gause. Some may assume I'm partial because she's my mother, but that would be ludicrous. I know talent, and this lady has it! She had her work cut out for her because my hair always has crazy things going on. Nonetheless, she got me blonded to perfection. I'm swooning over my new cut/color combo! Aren't you?

crazy/fun/hair

While I was in WA, I visited Sharon's Hair Studio in Yakima. I needed Sharon's special touch to add a little umph to my natural curls. And by umph, I mean triumph because it was becoming increasingly aware to me that managing my natural curl was causing too much headache. [ And despite Excedrin's great qualities, it wouldn't fix this. ] I am definitely pleased with the turnout and, now, actually look forward to seeing what my hair wants to do in the morning!

Of course, I had to have dré get in on the action, so she styled after the perm rods came out. [ If you're an 80s baby like me, then you probably know why I was holding my breath. ]

Soon, sleep deprivation started kicking in and the crazy started coming out. Hence the pics I snapped being goofy. The flash really lightened my hair. I've been wanting to get to a blonde, but it's a gradual process.

I really like it, though. Let me know in the comments below what hair color you'd suggest!

Hot Chocolate

In all this winter chill, I thought I deserved a treat. As much as I love calorie loaded treats, I'm trying to put those days behind me.

After enjoying a couple months of a deep sultry red color, I was ready to feel like me again. And what goes better with a cold winter day then some hot chocolate?!  After all, changing your hair is a treat that is always calorie free ;)

There's A New Bombshell In Town

My friend Miel came to me yesterday looking for a big change, so change is what we gave her! With hair that had grazed her waist, she was looking for her own version of "the chop"! Off those locks came, and she was looking fabulous, but as you know, no transformation is complete without a fresh color!

Hot off the press with her new cut from me, I sent her to my mom, Sharon Gause, at Sharon's Hair Studio. She is a color educator for Matrix/Logics, and this lady knows her stuff! She enriched Miel's base color and melted it out lighter through the ends.

Below are the stages of Miel's transformation. Can we say bombshell?!
