@Hippie-
In the past when I walked into hair salons with reference pictures, I only ended up with a hairstyle exactly how I wanted when the hairstylist spoke minimal English. Sometimes I just ask for the best cut for my face shape. I think the haircut you received looks cute, it is very Marion Cotillard-esque. Your eyebrows look GREAT and nicely shaped and good color.
Haha, you have no idea how much I appreciate that compliment! My eyebrows are naturally almost flat and practically invisible (same with my eyelashes…the hardships of being gingerish), so I'm forever battling with them.
I find when I let the hairstylist do whatever they like they tend to do something pretty generic/whatever's in style. Although the truly disastrous haircuts are always when I ask for something more specific. :P
A lot of the time, people are afraid of growing older and losing that youthful spark. I think that is a bunch of nonsense. When I was younger, I really thought things would be different. I thought I would be married by twenty-eight, but now I have so much more to offer in ways of experience. Just this week, I deboned and deskinned an entire whole chicken, I failed miserably at the same task in my early twenties. I baked a batch of brownie bites from scratch and sprinkled homemade powdered sugar on them. I feel that most of the challenges from one decade ago are still present, but I am much more prepared to handle them. I would not want to go back in time and trade everything I have learned so far in exchange for less gray hairs.Happy birthday! That's a great feeling - to reflect on something that was difficult/impossible in the past when it seems so easy now. I find myself doing that a lot with pre- and post-panic disorder Hippie Van.

If I were you I'd go to a different place. Shop around. If you go to the same one they like to hand you back to the person who did your hair last because they imagine your hers and it's really awkward to ask for someone else. -_-
That's probably a good idea. My whole family has been going to this place since I was little and I think it's gone downhill quite a bit, most of the hairdressers who I really liked are gone now.
