Style and Style...

Today I took my oldest daughter, Gwyneth to get her first haircut/style.  I get my hair down by Laura Damico in San Jose, she is the best stylist I've had yet.  I'm always happy with her work on my hair and I knew she would do something cute for Gwyneth.

Here is Gwyneth before.  Her hair has gotten too long and "scraggly."  She has been dying to get her hair done, asking me everyday, "did you call Laura yet?"

Here we are before our hair is made over.  My hair has also gotten drab, brassy and flat.  I need a lift.

There she is, with that smile that's been on her face the whole day long!  I'm sure she felt very grown up.

Speaking of grown up Laura asked Gwyneth if she liked Justin Bieber.  Gwyneth said point blank, "no."  Laura immediately turned to me and said, "she's the first young girl I've had in here who said they don't like Justin Bieber!"

 There's always a first....she's nine, doesn't have television in her home and reads like a maniac of a person.  I guess she could be reading books about Bieber but she's not.  She's reading The Little House on the Prairie Series.

The best part of getting your hair done...the shampoo.  Oh so nice, especially a hot shower of water running down your scalp on a cold day in California.

I love this hair.  I love fishtail braids.  I don't do them super well yet, but I'm practicing so I can do it to my hair and the girls' hair.  Braids, so chic.

And on the subject of chic, Laura (hairstylist) is from Italy and is going there for six weeks during this summer.  She mentioned that she would have to do some shopping to add to her wardrobe because Italian women don't dress like "we do."

"Like we do?"  Like in pajama bottoms, sweats, oversized clothing in general?  Yes, exactly what she meant.  She said, "Italian women wear lots of dresses, skirts, they always look very feminine...I should have been Italian.

She cut about three inches off of Gwyneth's hair; much needed.

Smiling always today.

Curls for a wavy look.

Too cute, Gwyneth.  I love it, and she loves it.

Here we are trimmed, colored (just me)  and lifted.

And I should have been Italian because I'd be happy wearing dresses and skirts all the days of my life.  And I'm without a doubt that my daughters would agree too.
