I have to admit, of all the things on my 30/30 list, the asymmetric haircut made me the most nervous. Well, maybe that and driving in Manhattan (which I still haven’t done). The whole idea came about a year or so ago when my hair stylist suggested it might be a good look for me. All I could think of was my mom’s asymmetric cut back in the eighties, the one that was immortalized on her driver’s license for years after and always made us laugh. So I wasn’t exactly raring to go.
I don’t think of myself as the daring type, especially when it involves something I have to look at every day. But that’s exactly why the asymmetric haircut made it on my list. I want to be daring, or at least a little surprising. So when I went in for a haircut after a ridiculously long time without one, I asked for it.
Guess what? I love it.

Such a cute haircut! I had my hair chopped off last week, and I wish it weren’t as short.

It looks crazy adorable on you! Way to take the plunge and get the payoff!

it looks wonderful on you! i love getting “different” haircuts – i change my hairstyle constantly (perks of having very fast-growing hair). i figure we’re stuck with our hair for life, so we might as well have fun with it along the way. looks like that really worked out for you!

The haircut looks great on you!
I like your 30/30 list, maybe I’ll start one too.
I love reading your blog, I just wish I had all the ingrediants to try all those absolutly fantastic looking coctails!!!

Long time reader, first time commenter… just had to complement you on this great cut, it suits you well.

So cute! I think a haircut is a great 30/30 item because its a little scary and it takes daring to try something different. But with haircuts you can always let them grow or cut them again. You’ve inspired me to get mine cut soon!

Oh my god Kelly, it looks AMAZING! I think it works so well with your curly hair, it’s not as sharp and jarring and some asymmetric haircuts can be.

it looks FANTASTIC!!

I love it! Love love love it! My sister got an asymmetric cut this year too and I think it’s super bold and daring and all-round brilliant. Cute whilst being completely unpredictable. Yay.

You look so great! Totally cute. I got my hair cut into an asymmetrical cut last week and I love it. I had one last year and wasn’t a fan, but this time I tried a new hairdresser and I love the results.

It looks really cute!! I couldn’t pull off that look with my curly, curly hair but it looks great on you! I love my curly hair, it’s my trademark, but sometimes I wish I had straight or at least wavy to have more range in styling possibilities.

What an adorable cut! You look sweet as a peach! I bet you’re happy you took the leap past apprehension.
September 13th, 2010 at 6:42 pm
Soooo cute! I got blunt bangs this year and was so glad I went outside my comfort zone…looks like it paid off for you too!

Nice, you look like Amelie with that haircut
(if you haven’t seen that movie you definitely should!)

Kelly! Look how pretty you are! What a great cut, perfect for your face and lovely smile. Good for you for going for it. Much easier than driving in Manhattan, huh?
September 17th, 2010 at 11:47 am

September 19th, 2010 at 7:12 pm

Hullo,
I’m a first-time commenter/reader of your blog as well, but had to tell you that your hair is SO CUTE! I wish I had itty-bitty waves to pull this off myself, but alas I’m one of those straight-haired gals. Looks wonderful (and lovely blog too)~

You are so dang cute. I want a short cut, but am a chicken! I also have curls so it’s a different story altogether.
