Added to that I am really low on the learning curve about hair and hair styles in general; I didn't feel quite like my vote should have the same weight as those who have a lot of know-how and experience.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-hair-advice-for-photo-shoot#post-1667203 Wed, 25 May 2016 21:56:34 +0000 viva 1667203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, <b>Suz</b>! Thanks for the kind words. I've had tech issues all day and have been swearing like a sailor (only the dogs can hear me) so I don't feel like such a complete joy! :)</p> <p>Business is quite strong but there's always next quarter to worry about, so the site revamp is part of a big marketing push for the second half. Things are evolving, as I suppose they must.</p> <p>Thanks everyone for the great advice. I have booked my photos for several days after the cut and color. I can't go directly there from the salon, <b>Sally (and others)</b>, as I am somewhat obsessive about feeling tiny hairs all over me after the salon, whether or not they are there .... I would be an anxious freak if I went directly to the studio! (I think this may be a short haircut problem?)</p> <p>But, I do think that having the cut and color fresh makes the most sense since I am investing in the photos. You're right, <b>Angie</b>: a crisper look is smart. Stay tuned for more advice about what to wear.&nbsp;</p> <p>And <b>BrieN</b>, why shouldn't your vote count? It's at least as important as everyone else's! Thank you for weighing in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-hair-advice-for-photo-shoot#post-1667164 Wed, 25 May 2016 20:54:04 +0000 Suz 1667164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful and if you're not making a huge change I vote after the cut/ colour. Your business is thriving! Gosh, I remember a few years ago you were a bit worried about things, but look at how busy you are! And no wonder. You would be a complete joy to work with.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-hair-advice-for-photo-shoot#post-1667163 Wed, 25 May 2016 20:53:24 +0000 Chris987 1667163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for doing it right after your cut/color...so you take advantage of the professional "finish".... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-hair-advice-for-photo-shoot#post-1667155 Wed, 25 May 2016 20:27:01 +0000 Sal 1667155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you are going for a similar look, I would go with straight after the cut and colour. &nbsp;I am biased here by my own lack of skill with the hairdryer though. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-hair-advice-for-photo-shoot#post-1667153 Wed, 25 May 2016 20:20:45 +0000 texstyle 1667153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the way you have it cut - not suggesting different bangs, it's been looking great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-hair-advice-for-photo-shoot#post-1667142 Wed, 25 May 2016 19:24:12 +0000 Angie 1667142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for doing it after the cut and colour just because it will create a crisper look. Good for a professional site.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-hair-advice-for-photo-shoot#post-1667139 Wed, 25 May 2016 19:19:12 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1667139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say do it right after the cut and color, as long as you like the way it looks that day.  My hair guy does photos and event makeup too, though I have not taken him up on it.</p> <p>And totally unrelated, but this post on Ines de la Fressange reminded me of your look: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.girlofacertainage.com">http://www.girlofacertainage.com</a></p> <p>Also, if you don't like your selfies you can get the Facetune app to tweak them a little. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-hair-advice-for-photo-shoot#post-1667134 Wed, 25 May 2016 19:12:55 +0000 BrieN 1667134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Although I doubt my vote should count, I am going to vote wait until 2 weeks after the cut/color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-hair-advice-for-photo-shoot#post-1667128 Wed, 25 May 2016 19:01:55 +0000 viva 1667128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Texstyle, yes same basic cut. And probably will not do side swept bangs (although I hear you, and they are probably the most traditionally attractive cut for me) but I am enjoying having a long bang that hangs down in my face (like Jed on the Night Manager). So I'm not going to really change anything, I don't think - just do a refresh / trim of the same cut. Ps I hate hate selfies. I really don't think I look like this at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-hair-advice-for-photo-shoot#post-1667126 Wed, 25 May 2016 18:58:35 +0000 texstyle 1667126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great but I don't know how much color you are talking about getting done. Are you going to be getting the same basic cut? I could see a little off the side swept bangs to make sure your eyes stand out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-hair-advice-for-photo-shoot#post-1667120 Wed, 25 May 2016 18:48:10 +0000 viva 1667120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nothing too exciting here ... But I am redoing my business website this summer and having new professional head shots taken for the site and LinkedIn. So here is my question. Do I get the photos taken now? I quite like where my hair is, color and cut-wise, but I'm due for a trim and color refresh in two weeks. </p> <p>There is no rush for the photos except that I am here for a month with no travel planned.</p> <p>Do I get the photos done now, right after my cut/color in two weeks, or in a month after some grow out? </p> <p>(if you have short hair then you know: no two haircuts or highlights are ever exactly the same, so I am unsure where I will land with the next outing - although I do love and trust my stylist.)</p> <p>Would love your advice, ladies. </p>
