A New Hair Style, A New Me

Mom picked me up to get my hair cut.  I thought I was ready for this....but I was not.  I told my stylist, Luis at Phantacee in Arlington that I had breast cancer.  He was so supportive.  I have been getting my hair cut by him since 2005.  He has given me wonderful cuts and colors over the years.  He knows just what to do and I have a great relationship with him.

When he took my hair, which was just beginning to get past my shoulders....I have been trying to grow it out....and cut it I just lost it, my eyes filled with tears, and I started to cry.  He lovingly took a wash cloth and help it to my eyes as he massaged my head.  It was tender and loving.  It really helped me so much.  He then began to cut and style my hair.  It was hard to see my hair short.  It is beautiful, but different.  It is sexy, but different.  It makes me look different than I had.

He talked to me about being supportive and things he could do to help me.  It was wonderful.  I am glad I went to have him give me this wonderful haircut. 

Later that night I went to dinner with some great friends.  Here is a picture of the new hair do, with friends.
