A few months ago, my hair was very long and I needed a change. I was mostly tired of the maintenance and honestly, it was getting ridiculous. Anyway, I researched several options for hair donations and discovered that Locks of Love has the only program that takes chemically-treated hair. Even if they are not able to use your hair to create the actual pieces for children, they will sell it to fund their non-profit organization. Since my hair has been colored in the past, this was perfect. So, based on my ability to donate hair, it was an easy decision to cut at least ten inches. \n\nI haven't had a hair stylist for a couple years, so I asked a few people for recommendations. My friend Hally told me how much she loves her stylist, Kelly, based on several successful appointments and I was convinced! We coincidentally booked consecutive appointments on the same day, so I was able to watch Kelly in action while she was doing Hally's hair before it was my turn.\n\nWhen I sat down in Kelly's chair, I explained that I wanted to cut off a lot and needed it neatly done for my donation. I left everything else up to her. She asked what type of hair style I wanted and I said, \"I don't know. I just don't want long hair anymore.\" Then, Kelly created a ponytail and after some consultation, we decided on a little over 12 inches to be removed (about 13-14 inches after everything). Before she began cutting, she asked if I was sure I wanted to do it - I couldn't wait to part with my hair. It was liberating and even without an actual trim, I was happy with the way shorter hair looked! From there, we settled on a shoulder-length asymmetrical cut that wasn't too dramatic with light side-swept bangs. She added some mellow highlights, then straightened and styled my hair. I absolutely LOVE the way it turned out!! I couldn't stop looking at it or touching it. That's success!\n\nAlthough I enjoyed my short hair, it wasn't very versatile in styling. So, I am growing my hair out again until inspiration strikes. When it does, I am absolutely coming back to Kelly. There is no doubt in my mind. I highly recommend her to everyone! Oh, and bonus: her services are very inexpensive!!
