Well, I finally did it.  I finally took the plunge and updated my look.  Why?  I wanted to practice what I preach.  If I’m going to tell clients to change what they’ve grown to love, then I need to do that, too.  Helping others to the next level is one thing.  Having it done to you is another.  You can learn a lot when you are on the receiving end of an extreme makeover.

Biggest lesson happened at the hair salon.  The stylist said, “We need to cut it.”  I was adamant to keep the length.  After all, I already let go of the color.  That mean’s I’m open to changing, right?!  Wrong.  I was willing to change a little — to get to the next level, I had to go all the way.

What made me move were those magic words:  “OK, we don’t have to.  But it won’t be your best look.”  What?!  I won’t get the best?!  I turned to the stylist and said, “cut it.”

I’m happy to report that the results were great.  Consensus:  I look ten years younger.  Click here to see for yourself.  Here’s to a transformative 2010!!
