Let me tell you about the most awesomest place in Edinburgh, Miss Dixiebelle's Hair and Beauty Parlour. This gem of a place features a fabulous boutique full of retro clothing and a vintage hair salon.
You see, my hair was getting long...too long. It was becoming cumbersome to do pincurls and when I did, it was too heavy to hold them. So, I just sort of went for it and got my hair cut short (well, short to me anyways)!
This is just part of my hair...I think we were only halfway through at this point. I got a short middy cut which is basically a layered cut with the back creating a nice 'u' shape. It's fantastic because you can style it in so many ways (30s, 40s, 50s or even 60s).
Ariana, a master vintage stylist cut my hair. She is absolutely amazing. She does all sorts of cuts and styles so if you are ever in the area, definitely treat yourself to a vintage updo at the hair salon!
I absolutely love it!!! I was hoping to get some more pictures today but it's been raining like crazy here. I've been trying out some new pincurl sets and experimenting....more pictures coming soon!
Oh Debi!!! The anticipation is killing me! I hope we get to see your new hair soon, it sounds fantastic!!!
