Long live pink hair!

OK, to be honest, there was purple hair inbetween the red below and the red to the side. No pictures though. Sorry about that...

Sure I loved my last hair do, but you know me. Can't stay the same. Have to try something else. Something RED HOT!

The picture really doesn't do it justice. It is just a brilliant colour. Hair styling will commence once the colour is set.

I LOVE this hair. Soon I will be able to wear it in pigtails too.

Can you believe I have brown hair? With just a bit of pink and bright red to go along with it. Subtle (for me) but still bright.

Working my way back to a bob, think the hair is dead though. Have to start over next time. Back to the pixie.

This is a bit more punk rock than I normally like to go, but it is vibrant colour for summer...

Pretty, pretty purple! Kate kicked butt this time. Lots of purple that I am super happy with and is very popular. A brilliantly glowing colour...

(see don't need such a large picture since the purple just screams in the sun)

Here we have my Care Bear Wish Bear blue! It really was a fabu colour, but I just didn't have anything I could wear with it...on not a lot. Normally, this would be a joyous moment, but we all know I don't shop like I use to anymore...

Per usual, I lost another cutter, but Christof (did I spell that right?) has stepped up to the plate and done a spectacular job. He has a thing (he andd Figen the colourist, that is) for shapes. This time a crown! I'm the Princess!

The front it important too...

And, of course, you have to have the man himself...

Mohawk's are cool but high maintenance and rather, um, butch. I like to do cute better. So back to the salon. Toby was completely understanding.

Well then, Juergen left me. Yep, he just up and moved to Muenchen without even saying anything! Bastard! How could he?! I was the best customer a Friseur could have! Anyhow, I am now happily seeing Toby (picture coming soon). He helped me cut most of my hair off and go Mohawk for the first time. It is a challenging hair cut but I'm up for it. I feel a bit butch though.

Just Phillip, Figen and I hanging out and bein' cool.

We call this the Spiderman Edition. Juergen is just SO brilliant.

I think this do is better without glasses actually. Too bad I can't see anything.

Cool, eh? (see Henry Rollins in the background?)

Juergen is going through a line phase. Cool, hey? Got Elvis on my shoulder too.

Patrick and Heather have free time on their hands, so what do they do? Put Heather's hair in dozens of pig tails!

This is Juergen my cutter 6. He is super brilliant. He is sporting a growing mohawk type look. Use to have sort of a shag but got one of the new 'strip of hair' cuts from last Spring's Tony & Guy line. Two other guys in the salon had cuts from that series too. Very cool. But of course now he deals with the outgrowth. How to take him home with me???

Vera the colourist. She left the business but it wasn't my fault.

Patrick and I coloured this ourselves. I have learned the secret to long lasting extremely coloured hair, don't wash it very much. Though the colour has faded, it has stuck well because I only use shampoo twice a week. I do wet it everyday, so just don't stand too close.

Juergen calls this "you cut it yourself". It is supposed to look like I randomly snipped pieces. He also referenced the musical "cats" when referring to the two pointy parts. Works for me. Next week I am having it dyed pink to match the dress I am wearing to Brett's wedding. So check back. (yes I realize my skin looks like hell, I am becoming a regular at the dermatologist.

 

Matthias did an amazing job hand painting the red in the blond streaks I had left over from the Leopard spots. Some of the tips even fade to blonde. This was the plan and beautifully executed.

And this, my friends, is Matthias, my colorist from Tony and Guy here in Stuttgart.

Being that I am sick and tired of my colorists leaving me (I'm starting to take it personally) we made a deal today that I won't leave Stuttgart until he does. Wait a minute, that doesn't work?

This is a full length picture of me on my first day with Leopard Spots. Notice the J. Crew sweater, Gap Khakis and Addidas trainers.

Punk and Prep!

Obliterating the social barriers, one hairdo at a time! 

For whatever reason, I am able to take over the shoulder shots without a dorky smile. At least I think so.

A closer look at Joerg's Leopard Spots.

This is the first colour I got after the famous "let's cut all your hair off" incident.

The people of Chico, CA loved it (though I got it done in Germany). My mom didn't like the off-center stripe (trust me).

The slippers are a pre-cursor to the Leopard Spotted hair.

And this is Vince! Cool huh?

With Sabine as my translator...Joerg made me go from this...

...to this! In Stuttgart

And once upon a time, long long ago, I was still a hair freak... Santa Barbara like 1995?
