I'm a fruitcake about my hair. Almost every single time, every single time, I get it did, I cry. I cry, I mourn, I swear I won't do it again, I make my friends make pacts with me not to let me do it again. It's a freakin' hot mess. But then a year will go by.. and I start feeling drab, and my hair, as you might well imagine, is looking way drab and is in desperate need of a trim for the goodlords'sake. Truly, the 2+ inches of split ends, are crying for a trip to the salon. And so I begrudgingly book an appointment, endure the week before anx, and go, and cry. But not this time. This time, Stephanie Hand, of the Gold + Arrow Salon in Portland did it. Stephanie actually did my hair once, over 5 years ago, back in my hometown and I remembered that that one time, I didn't cry either.
Andddd if you're into kickass decor design, click that Gold + Arrow link above, and check the photos below. The place is.. what's the term going around right now? Oh yes. Amazeballs.

| my one moment of anx, but it didn't even come close to a cry. |
annnnnd... here it is!!
it's subtle, it's fresh, it's shorter, but it feels longer,
and hotdiggity, I think I love it!!! I can't wait to play with it this week!
ps. if you're in Portland, or close by, Gold + Arrow is the shizzle. Get yourself there. You can start by dropping by the First Thursday Art Walk coming up December 6th at 5p. They are featuring the artist that did the arrow canvas, whom happens to be the hubby of a stylist there. You will fall in love. The decor eye feast alone is worth the trip. Plus, there will be food. And wine. It'll be worth it. Guaranteed.

It looks AMAZING!! I haven't gotten my hair done since February (no joke) but that is mostly because I am cheap. :) I seriously need to get it done though.
It looks lovely darling! And, that salon has the coolest look - I love the furniture and finishes.
Shut your mouth!!! Holy moly it looks AWESOME!!!! God, I wish I had your hair....the color, the thickness, the bounce...I would die!!! I feel the same way about getting my hair done, I wish your girl could fly me to her salon!! ;)
Oh, it looks fantastic!! I don't think I've ever cried from a haircut before, although I had a few botched cuts I should have cried over.
Now, I have my husband cut my hair. *gasp* lol! Although, now you have me thinking I need to get my 'hair did' professionally now too! You look amazing!!
Ha - well that's b/c you have nothing to cry about! Your hair looks gorgeous!

I'm with you on the hair crisis! Literally NEED a trim right now, but have had so many terrible visits in the past! One time even ending up with the closest thing to a mullet. SO terrible. That salon looks seriously AMAZING. Like, if I owned one it would look the same. Also, your hair is TO DIE FOR. So much volume! Gorgeous!
It looks great!
I used to go there to Lisa!! Swear!
