But, she told me this trick: When you get a haircut you like, have the stylist take pictures of the front and back. Also have her write down what she did to achieve the look. Print out the pictures, and tape the instructions from the stylist on the back. Take those pictures with you next time you go to get a hair cut. It has worked for me when I can remember to take the pictures with me to the salon.Karenhttp://fabgrandma.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-76002796633829947102011-03-17T23:33:45.320-05:002011-03-17T23:33:45.320-05:00Try a beauty school next time.

I think hopping from one stylist to another is the hardest part of this full-timing thing! I keep mine shoulder length in case I get brave enough to trim the ends myself or get a so-so cut from someone else; at least it's long enough to put up in a bun!

I checked out this website http://mostlylisa.com/ while listening to a podcast. If you go to it and scroll down to her January 21 post she shows 10 ideas for photos. I found it real interesting. She also has a ton of information on cameras and accessories for them. One of the things she has started is a page for submitting a picture. Her idea is for people to take a picture a day everyday. It just helps you get better at taking pictures.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18082479246607518893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-26052036727512241792011-03-15T00:03:21.323-05:002011-03-15T00:03:21.323-05:00I go to a Sure Cuts on senior day, $10.00 plus a t...I go to a Sure Cuts on senior day, $10.00 plus a tip.

I caught it several days later when I checked my bank. Of course they reimbursed the $25 and apologized, but they couldn't explain how it happened. If I go back, I'll take cash, but it's doubtful I'll go back.

We'll need to be back in Austin at least 3 times a year for Johnny's doctor appt so I told the hairdresser I needed a cut that would last 3-4 months.

And, adding shape and texture are techniques most never learn! <br /><br />I've decided my next cut will be at a "real" salon. JCP is a great tip.
