It is time for a hair cut. A proper hair cut, not just a free trim from a salon with trainees that need to practice with layers and curling tongs. A combination of perpetual laziness and my student predicament of a permanently starved piggy bank lead to one or two a year (if I'm lucky), so it is one of those occasional events that creates a welcome few hours away from the daily heave-ho of lectures. It's also an exciting little milestone of mini-metamorphosis in itself; everyone likes to redecorate once in a while.
Whether you think the caramel-y hue of the ombré trend has had its heyday and deserves to be snipped into the bin or not, I am still of the opinion that —if done in subtle tones with the right placement and well-balanced shading— it can add simple yet effortlessly effective depth to any 'do. My current mop is in fact dip dyed, but it is at that stage where the ends are looking a little worse for wear and must be sacrificed for the greater good (in other words, to stop me sitting in seminars tutting at my split ends). In that vein, I think I'll be going back to the shoulder-brushing bob of yesteryear (my last proper salon visit that wasn't a 'free model' session was in January 2013..). I am bored of long, tickly, swishy bits floating around my décolletage and fancy something a bit more ooh la la and a bit less ooh la limp. This also conveniently means less mane for me to manage; perfect for the aforementioned laziness inherent in my so-called 'beauty' regime.
A number of salons in Leeds that are currently tickling my fancy include: Renegade, Rebel Pinup, and Sketch. All offer student discount Monday to Wednesday, which is more than perfect for the rather malnourished piggy bank I mentioned before.
