Story Of A Haircut.


Hey everyone,

I have a new do - cut and colour!

Here's where I began yesterday:


Hair in the good words of Cheryl Cole: "Weak, limp, lifeless". AKA: Grown out of original cut, dull highlights, split ends, shapeless fringe etc etc.

It really was getting impossible to style at all. Me and my mam were going into town anyway to buy my 21st presents, and as I was going out on the nighttime I popped into Toni & Guy to see if I could bring my appointment forward.

The receptionist gave me the choice of in 10 minutes time or an hour.
I managed to get the one straight away, and a nice girl who was washing the hairs came over and offered us delicious tea or coffee.

Soon after, a lovely guy called Chris came over and introduced himself.
He sat me down before they washed my hair to ask me what I want - something my usual hairdresser never does. I thought this was a lot better as he could see what my hair is like in it's usual state.

He gave me an absolutely lovely cut - usually it seems my layers and fringe are an afterthought, but Chris took great time and care making sure they were all perfect.

My cut only came to £32 - which isn't that much more as so what I pay at my local salon.
Would I go again? YES!

The only downside I think is that they try to sell you a lot of their products which could be uncomfortable to someone who doesn't like to say no.
On the other hand this would be useful to someone who doesn't own a lot of hair products. But as you lot already know, I have plenty already.

Anyway, it was still a lovely experience and I'll be booking my appointment with Chris again!

This is how it turned out:

It was originally a lot bouncier but I'd been out in the sun and wind all day!
Still cute and chic, right?
However I planned on doing something different.
SO a bottle of hair dye, some volumiser and blowdrying later we have...

TA-DAH!!

It's a completely different looks isn't it? And I TOTALLY LOVE IT, I feel like a different person with red hair!

I went dancing last night with Silly Old Daniel to celebrate. Our taxi driver made the mistake of putting Whitney Houston's Greatest Hits CD on - we murdered some classics on our journey home.


Muchos love,
MessyCarla.

  2. I think red really frames your face a lot better than your usual brunette :) and I agree I am not a fan of how he did the fringe in the first picture, but it looks a lot better joujed up in the red-hair. Also, red is a lot more fun and interesting! Defo your colour!

  3. Awesome! I used to have red hair, and I MISS it. I feel like I hoodwinked my better half into being with me, as he has a Thing for redheads, and thought mine was natural! :oops:

  17. Is this the sunderland tony & guy? They accused me of stealing someone else's jacket instead of mine after my appointment a year ago and I've never been back.

    Your hair looks amazing however. =)
