Another bad haircut. I started a blog entry when I was in Utah going through all of my hair disasters. There have been many…And it was way too long so I ended up deleting the post.
There’s been lots of stuff. Lice (just once). A perm that gave me a chemical burn and blisters all over my neck…I still have white spots on my neck from that. Permed hair that was NEVER brushed on the underneath layer, I don’t think you can even image the mess that was. Perms that (once I learned to brush my hair) never made it because I didn’t know what "scrunching" was. A beauty school haircut disaster in which the girl cutting my hair kept saying oops, cut herself, bled into my hair, and finally chopped about 6 inches off my long hair, unevenly…that one made me so upset I cried. Alot. Or how about the highlights I gave myself one time, I ended up looking like a skunk and ended up having to dye my hair about 5 different times that summer. The haircut I paid a lot for, thinking the more you pay the better they do, and ended up with the "Carol Brady"…a flip, with a really long ugly layer underneath for another bonus flip. Not cute. Especially on me.
Here’s a glimpse of the latest haircut disaster. Note the bangs. Notice I have about 3 different lengths going on there from very short to fairly long. I don’t even know what to do with bangs that short. Let them grow, I guess. But that’s not the worst part. My hair used to be long. Almost reaching the bra strap. Now, it’s chin length in the front, shoulder length in the back. Getting a decent self-portrait proved impossible. Let’s just say I’m no kellicrowe who can take a picture of her bedhead and look adorable and has only ONE chin at any given time.
Let me just leave you with a word of advice. Don’t get a haircut the day before a sibling’s wedding. Especially at a place were the people barely graduated beauty school. And if the person cutting your hair decides to tell you about all of her adventures as a meth addict, take that as a clue to leave. And if said person decides she likes you enough to get creative and give you her best haircut ever, RUN.
It’s only hair, right? It grows back. Keep reminding me of that. Tonight I’m getting it fixed, hopefully. So that I can feel like an adult and not a little girl (Sophia) whose mom gave her a haircut. Though I must say, I did a WAY better job on Sophie’s hair. And I didn’t go to beauty school. Heck…let’s show off that adorable haircut…
This is with bedhead and no styling product. Talent, baby. That’s what this is. Maybe I should cut my OWN hair. Hardy har.

oh My GOSH that is so sucky. i want to see the rest of it though. tomorrow put up a before and after i would love to see it.
some of my worst haircuts i paid a ton for. pick one person that you love and stick with them forever…it is SO worth it.
No fair. If you were some hair cutting genious, you would have saved me the whopping $15 bucks for my lame cut. Thanks for nothing.
Just a reminder Shannon…it will grow back…I know, I know…that’s easy for me to say…I’m not the one who has to wait…guess that’s why I started cutting my own hair nearly 5 years ago and haven’t looked back…hang in there friend! Blessings!
Aw man not ANOTHER bad hair adventure. I must say I feel quite proud to be a part of I think two of them. The coloring job and the “layered” look. That picture is awesome of you - look at those crazy eyes and is that you wearing makeup?! I am sure it is not as bad as you think but who am I to talk I have had some bad advetnures myself!
LOL!
At least you have a sense of humor about it
And I love the new and improved watermark on that adorable pic of S
i try not to get my haircuts and meth at the same place
and no car products where I get styled either
i know
it is only hair
doesn’t help
because the only hair
is on your
only head
however
you are just so adorable
that not your fave haicut ever can’t detract from that
you are adorable

Oh My…the “and hair design” on your logo made me spit out my Diet Pepsi! You are too funny. I have had many a scary cut…and perm…and color…eek..don’t ever let Moriah show you any photos of me at her wedding….suffice to say we call that era the “poodle do”! LOL
there is a reason i don’t have bangs anymore.
way to many bad experiences.
but i am particularly blessed with talent in the hair color area.
i’ve been pink.
i’ve been green.
i have never been aquamarine.
if all else fails get a cute baseball cap.
’cause it’s almost time for spring training.
and you could just pretend to be a really big fan.
Fabu pic of Sophie — but I’d rather have one of you.
That stinks…sorry about the bad haircut! Even though I feel sorry for ya, I still laughed at your post. Hey, I’m honest.
Love your new look and logo Shannon.
Everytime I read your blog, I laugh until my stomach hurts, I love your humor. Sorry about your bad cut! Okay, I am still LOL-ing!!!
