Hair-spiration

Long side swept bang-spiration.

I am so looking forward to getting my hair done tomorrow.  It's just in time for the 3 weddings I am going to back to back weekends.  Getting my hair done is probably my favorite form of pampering.  I have been sporting the ombre look for some time now and I think its time to step away from it gradually.  I want more blonde and the ombre less severe.  Maybe more of a color melting since I do want some of my natural mousey brown color mixed in.  I am after all having a baby in 2 months so the maintenance has to be medium to low.  As for the cut I have been growing my hair out ever since I  can remember. It grows so slow, its genetic and being pregnant does not make it grow any faster unfortunately. I will take an inch off and my layers have to be freshened up for sure after a summer of chlorine and sun. My bangs have been growing out as well and I am thinking of cutting them once more.  I want more of a long side swept bang so I can still pull them back though I am tempted to cut blunt straight across bangs like Jessica Biel.  Bangs do hide a multitude of sins, like wrinkles and any pimples that come my way. Decisions, decisions.  I will have to do a before and after post.

Little Locks

Before and After. Now he looks a tad more sophisticated, mu-ha-ha!

Haircut in process.

When I see a little mullet growing in on Maksim I know it's time for a haircut.  We headed to Little Locks in La Jolla again for his second haircut.  We asked for Melissa because she was so fast and patient when we brought him in for his first cut.  She is like Edward Scissor Hands, she works with some crazy speed.  I can't rave more about Little Locks. They are a kid hair salon with a toy boutique in the front and its just utterly adorable. While you wait kids can play with the train table in front and toys around the boutique. Kids can pick the type of chair they want to sit in whether is a red race car (Maksim's fav) or a four runner. I come prepared with plenty of fun snacks for Maksim so he sits still. Surprisingly he was soooo good.  I kid you not.  I don't think he would ever just sit there for me like he did for Melissa.  He watched Little Einsteins on the flat screen above, played with the steering wheel of the car, and ate the raisins I gave him.  He even didn't mind when she started using the buzz cutter.  He really amazes and surprises me sometimes. Maybe he likes getting pampered like his Mama. The new haircut is really cute and makes him look much older.  Great experience and we will be back in a couple months.

Love,
