For the past month or so I’d been dying to do something new with my hair. The color was fading, the style had grown out into a big triangle shaped mess, and my poor ends were crying out to “just let them go!” Partly due to laziness and partly due to being “comfortable” with the look I had at the moment, I put off making an appointment until the desperation sunk in. This last Saturday, Andrea B (the only person I really trust with my hair) from Salon Amour, an Aveda concept salon, fit me in and worked a miracle. She took my hair darker than it’s ever been, gave me some thick bangs that I can wear straight across or to the side, and trimmed up my layers to give them some new life. Check it out!
I personally love it. I think it adds a lot more style back into my look, and I think darker was definitely a good choice.
So ladies (and gents), are you looking for a new style? Do you have a hard time changing a look you are comfortable in? How are you liking my ‘do? Let me know!

Thanks Makay! I was a bit unsure of the bangs (I have yet to wear them straight across), but I’m glad Andrea convinced me

LOVE this SO much. So much more edgy and sophisticated. Looks insane on you. I’m sure your husband is going crazy for you right now.
The look I want is similar texture and bangs but I am hoping for something shorter. Haven’t had the time or money to get it done yet, sadly.

I definitely wear that sweater way too much hahaha! I feel ya, I cut mine into an a-line about three years ago and grew it out every since hahaha. But now when I see all you cute shorter hair girls it makes me want to chop it completely off!

Very very cute hair on you!
I have super short hair, and I’d grow it out, except I kinda think it makes me more memorable as a model “She’s the one with the short hair!” Also, I’ve got to have a headshot to match my look, and it costs 250 bucks for a headshot, and imagine how many headshots to reflect a year of growing out my hair!

Is it like the profile picture you have on your blog? If so, you definitely rock that cut, I love it!

It looks great! I love the bangs and the layers.
I struggle with my hair all the time. My default is to just let it grow out, but I also like to experiment.

I love the dark hair on you, it looks amazing! I need to get my hair colored before my wedding in June. I had dyed it red about 1,000x and now I want to go back to my natural brown but that’s proving to be very difficult. The red doesn’t want to leave!

Thank you! And OMG I didn’t know you were getting married soon, congratulations! That’s so exciting! Red is a tough color, I’ll ask Andrea if she has any tips for you
