how you know when you get a good haircut:

You get EIGHT compliments as you’re walking from the salon to your next destination. Here’s a map:

Five months after my initial visit to my hairdresser (Alexis at Vain), I came back to get it re-shaped. I’m convinced that three weeks in Colorado really destroyed my hair, and it was getting so ratty and I was so LAZY and couldn’t be bothered to brush it out. I had a real mess on my head, and I’m so thankful to have finally found a professional to tame it.

So anyway, I asked Alexis to bring my hair back to it’s former glory: September 2009, and I walked out feeling like this haircut was even better than that one.

And the people on the street seemed to agree!
