My hairstylist has an evil master plan
December 4, 2008 – 9:56 pm… to make me look like Rachel.
You know, Rachel.
Rachel with the poofy hair and strong chin and killer wardrobe who everyone loved to love- Rachel who dated Ross- until she didn’t- and then DID again- and then definitely didn’t- and whoops! there they go again-RACHEL.
Rachel with the haircut that millions and kabillions of women just HAD to have.
The thing is, I have this GUIDELINE when it comes to my hair wherein I try to avoid looking like TV characters from 15 years ago. Generally speaking.
So I go in to the latest in a long line of hairstylists, plop myself own, sip some fragrant tea and say something like, “just a trim… I’m growing it long. And freshen up the layers. Nothing too dramatic.”
I’m thinking something like THIS:
or even THIS:
(it’s not that I’m opposed to Jennifer Aniston, per se…)
But my dear hairstylist, dear sweet misguided hairstylist, she’s thinking THIS:
Don’t believe me?
Witness:
Don’t you see it?
Ok, how about NOW…
HELLO 1990 pop culture… it’s nice to meet you. Oh, and… I’ll be there for youuuuu…
(sing along, won’t you?)

I think you still look cute.
Oddly enough, I’m watching Friends as I type this comment. Weird timing :)

I can’t see the photos–they aren’t coming through for some reason. I’ll come back as your hair is very important to me.

This is hilarious! Especially that last photo.
It looks really cute actually, and I would not have thought of the Rachel if you hadn’t said it first. I think you’re OK!

you should go to my stylist! I swear she will never, ever, make you look like a 90’s pop culture icon.

I finally just got mine done, too. I was afraid because last time I asked for a bob, I got something that looked like the handiwork of Edward Scissorhands (another ’90s phenom). I went to someone else this time and I think I’m actually happy with it. So stressful. I think your hair looks great — not too much like Rachel. :)

LMAO. How did you get your photo in so well with Ross?? That’s EFFIN HILARIOUS!!!
Anyway, your hair doesn’t look bad like Rachel’s did. Her hair is POOFY…yours isn’t. I like your layers. :)

I”m sorry, but I am giggling too much to feel too sorry for you. If it’s any consolation, the rich color makes your skin look amazingly warm and touchable.

I dunno, I’m thinking it’s a classic ‘do - in a good way. And anyway ANY ‘do is worth getting to lean your head on Joey’s shoulder!

I think the Rachel is like ’80s music — cool again.
Plus, it looks GOOD on you. I’d wear the Dorothy Hamill if it made me look good.

Stop it.
Your hair looks great, and quite awesomely avoiding the frizzy, split ends look that I have going on at the moment.

Your photo editing skills are great! That last one is really funny.
I don’t think it looks that bad. I wouldn’t have thought of Rachel had you not mentioned it. If you don’t like it, maybe you could use a flat iron and straighten it all completely out and then it would lay flat like those other pictures, just shorter.

Oddly enough, on the opposite side of the country, that is the only haircut my stylist seems to do too. I love her anyway, but that’s why my hair is constantly “growing out.”

That’s funny! That style must be very “in” right now…Just got my hair done, paid big bucks for a “great” stylist and got “The Rachel”! :o) And the trend has spread accross the border…I’m in Quebec!
Not sure I like it on me but it looks great on you!

I love your hair, at least you have enough hair to do the Rachel. Mine’s all flat and stringy most of the time.
I love the photoshopped Friend’s photo but you need a LOT more eye makeup to fit in with that group!

I just saw your comment on Marinka’s blog that you got your tonsils out in NoDak. I got MY tonsils out in NoDak! Who would have thought they had that many surgical tools to go around?

I think you look great. To be honest, I like the style. It’s not like she’s got Farrah Fawcett hair or some pimped out looking crappy perm.
