Looks great Shiva. As a fellow short hair fan, I can see the difference — taking out the extra volume improves the look! I’m so happy for you. I have a haircut scheduled for this Saturday. Fingers crossed!

I'm beyond envious, my mop of hair looks awful, and our salons are still on lockdown. Great haircut, great outfit! LOL, we should all post our before and after pix of our 'dos.

Your hair looks fabulous, shevia! I'm going have to wait, most likely, until the end of May or possibly early June before I'll be able to get to a salon. Four months without a haircut is pretty tough for a very curlytop who now hides her bulky, shapeless hair under a baseball cap.

Lovely!You must feel amazing.l don’t think that hairdressers will be opening any time soon here ,at least it will give time for my home cut fringe to grow back!

Aaah your curls/waves are DIVINE! Thanks for sharing your new 'do, I will have to live vicariously through you for the time being!

I can definitely see the difference. I like the cut. Thanks for giving us an idea of the safety protocols.

Stunning hair! And thanks for sharing about the experience. Hair salons are in phase 3 on the west coast, so "months not weeks" away.

Looks beautiful!

Angie, thank you! I hope your hair stylist opens in time for your May appointment!
Becky Yes, exactly, it made a big difference to me.
Joy Tattoo parlors! Well that makes sense .
Mainelady Yes, my stylist was in a bit of shock about all the arrangements she had to make in short order.
Christina You are lucky to have long hair that probably manages without a cut for long time. My heart is with NYC.
Karie Yes, given the situation there I know it is necessary, but it is hard.
Suz Thank you! She really worked with my new growing out plan, that is why I keep coming back .
Dana I forgot, I had my temperature taken too. It is crazy, but all the precautions will help you relax - they did for me.
MsMaven Thank you so much!
anchie - Thank you!
avicennia - Good luck! Hope you will share your picture if you have the chance.
Xtabay - Excellent idea. Vicarious haircuts for those who are still waiting are better than none!
nuancedream - I empathize. Short and curly hair needs its haircuts!
Cardiff girl - Ha! That is how I felt about my shorter side.
JuniperGreen - Thank you! Your turn will come!
Barbara Diane - Thank you. I am interested to see how other places will handle this too.
CocoLion - Ah, it is good there is a plan at least. I will leave off further comment along that vein as tempting as it is.
Flytigress - Thank you!

* Passes Shevia a microphone to drop *

Unfortunately for my hair, but in my opinion wisely for the well-being of all, the governor of my state has extended the prohibition on hair salons for 15 more days. My last haircut was extra short, so it’s currently not bad in terms of length, but the bulk is another story! I’ll have to enjoy Shiva and others’ haircuts for the time being.

I love your hair and am a bit jealous that you got to go to the hairstylist!

Wow, it looks fantastic! Lucky you! So how does the stylist work around a customer's mask? I guess you have to have the kind that goes just around the ears, and doesn't tie in the back, huh?

Cee - Ha, I would drop the mic out of nervousness or terror even if it weren't a thing .
avicennia - Two more weeks, hold tight!
cindysmith - Believe me, I am jealous of me too if that makes any sense .
Firecracker - Yes exactly I wore the around the ear kind and actually if was surprisingly not a problem and never became dislodged even though she did a very detailed haircut with lots of layers. She said the worst part is talking less because of the mask and shield she wore steams up her glasses, but honestly I did not notice a difference .

Good to hear! It's likely going to be the way things go for a while, once the salons open back up for us, too.

It looks fabulous!

You look terrific!

A little envious here. My hair is definitely not looking it’s best. I don’t mind a little extra length, but the ends are getting raggedy (which means frizz), and the roots are, just, ugh.

Love this! And add me to the envy list! So unfair, because your hair was looking good even pre-cut. Stay safe and extra careful!
