Before and after

Yesterday I had my every-six-weeks date with my hairstylist, whom I absolutely love. Normally, the day or two before my hair appointment I carefully plan exactly what I want done. I peruse sites like this, and this for ideas. And I show up at the spa with a detailed explanation of what I want. The last three times I've gone, I've had the exact same color and cut done, so I guess I got into a routine and forgot to plan things out this time. I pulled into the parking lot, and as I turned off the ignition, I thought to myself, "What am I telling Ashley today? .... Brown... okay!"

So here is my before and after (I spare you my face). The top is taken from my family pictures and the bottom was just taken by Steve.
