For what had seemed like months (or maybe even years) now, the only word that had become appropriate for my hair situation was... "sad". My mane was limp, my bang situation unfortunate, and a good hair day was a concept that was completely foreign to me. Naturally, then, I jumped at the opportunity when I was invited to get my hair cut by Mark McLeod, a master stylist at ARROJO in New York (yes, the Nick Arrojo!) who had just relocated to Vancouver. It did not disappoint to say the least; a master at his craft, Mark knew exactly what would look good and implemented it effortlessly. Knowing that I wanted to keep my length but that I also needed a major upheaval, he renewed my bangs and gave me an abundance of layers to frame my face. I love my new tresses, and am now a complete believer that an expert haircut can truly elevate your look!
Vancouverites: you can get your hair cut by Mark at Kore Salon in Downtown Vancouver, for $108 CAD (worth every penny). New Yorkers, Mark still returns to NYC every 8 weeks to cut hair at Arrojo!

That's funny, I always thought your hair was amazing before the cut. I love the new layers too. Bangs are tough...really cute but I feel like they are limiting in some ways. It will be interesting to see if you stick with them!

I always loved your hair prior to the cut! I recently got blunt bangs well.. who would've thought such a small thing could make such a big difference?

OMGGGGG! Jen, your new haircut is incredible!! So chic, girl. You look amazing, but you looked amazing before the cut, too. And yay, now we're bang sisters! lol. I've been contemplating a new do', but I can't seem to stray away from my full fringe. It's become my signature style. hee hee. I'm thinking of going shorter and maybe spunking it up with some oxblood color tips. We shall see.
Hope you're enjoying your Friday and here's to a fun filled weekend! <3
xx Love & Aloha

Strange that you thought your hair was bad before... I always liked it! I gotta say, I think side-swept bangs look better on you. :)

Love the new hair! It's quite amazing what a difference a new hair-do makes! I agree with everyone else that your hair before was great, but I understand that feeling when you just feel weighed down by it. The new bangs really refresh your look :)

The bangs look great on you! Can I ask what lipstick (red) you are wearing in this post? I'm looking for a nice red and we have similar tones. Thanks!
