I have pretty hair. It’s long, down to the middle of my back and when I blow it out, it’s shiny and super straight. People tell me all the time how pretty it is and they like to touch it, even if they don’t know me. That kind of freaks me out. Anyway, one of my favorite things is to go to the salon because I always get told how gorgeous it is. Confidence booster! I also hate going to the salon because I’m always afraid it will get butchered! I rarely go get haircuts because of that reason, plus as a nanny, my long hair is always up in a bun. Babies and long, styled hair, don’t mix. I was incredibly overdue though, my last cut was in December.

Yesterday I made my trek after work to Urban Lift here in Chicago and $60 later (tip included), Mary hooked me up. She cleaned up my layers, took about two inches off and gave me some bangs. She was lovely and I highly recommend her if you are in need of some hair therapy! She also said if I need anything to call and email her and she would gladly talk me through any hair disasters that might sneak attack me. Plus, PLUS, free bang trims whenever I need them. I think I’ve found my hair guru here, people. She is that good.

I know I just wrote a whole entry about my hair but whatever, I can have one thing I’m vain about! So yes, love my hair.

Since some of you asked via twitter, I’m adding a picture. I should have taken it yesterday when my hair was blown out by Mary because I will never get it to look as good! I’m at work and it’s been up in a bun since I got out the shower so sorry for the messy waves, but you can see my bangs. Also, I don’t have time to pose and take 500 pictures until I get a incredibly flattering one, haha, so take it or leave it!

I’ll get a non-hot mess one up eventually.
