I decided to cut off about 7-8 inches worth of hair.. but I didn't have the heart to do it myself. So I went to my favorite beauty school. I let the stylist-in-training pick out a hair style for me *for practice of course* and I was really really pleased with the results. Right above the shoulders in length, choppy layers, and with tipped bangs. I can either flip it out for a cutsey look (which it kinda does naturally....), or I can straighten and fluff it.
She also almost melted into a big pile of happiness when I slipped her a $5 tip to go with the $5 cut.
