It's all in your head.

"my hairdresser: hi i'm cindy [from california]
me: hi, i'm leslie.
cindy: waaa this is going to be a real change, are you ready ?
me: oh yeah
cindy: this is going to be so cute!"

 

"cindy: whoa you have a great hairline
*her hairdresser friend walks by (tom)*
cindy: look at that hairline!
tom: oh my god it's perfect."

 

"tom: this is gorgeous." --don't forget he's only talking about the haircut, don't worry i didn't turn into a cutie overnight :)--

 

"random hairdresser friend: whoa big change, you're getting a real haircut! are you excited?
me: hum yeah yeah, it's going to be so different *unsure*"

 

"cindy: this is so much fun! i wanna take her home as a model! look at those curls! you have great hair!
me: *huh ?*"

 

first reaction: oh my god this is fucking short.
second reaction: huh, for all i know maybe short is good for me.
next stop: color.

 

15-second poll: about the color, should i go darker or lighter ?
