i'd had my hair down to my shoulder blades for the past 13 years. since it was so easy to tie back and go, i stuck with it. lately though i'd felt i was in a rut with it and finally decided that i wanted a change. i was referred to scott kane by a local bicycle fabricator (vanillabicyclesdotcom). \r
\r
over the last two years i'd been searching the magazines for a new and shorter style. but not so short that i'd look like a republican senator from from texas (i live in texas). i also didn't want anything too trendy. \r
\r
i flew up to portland for a bicycle show in feb. and made an appointment during that same week. i wasn't as nervous as most might be. scott came highly recommended and i was ready to get it cut. \r
\r
the atmosphere was very nice. it was a great mix of ease and diligence but never frantic or hurried. \r
\r
i'd had many cuts since i grew it out and most weren't that good. one thinned my hair so much, some people thought i was losing my hair! \r
\r
scott took the time to look over my hair type and was really receptive to my tangent laden train of thought. he suggested a cut and i went for it. and i loved it! \r
\r
it was still a bit on the long side but looked so good that i went back that same weekend to get it cut just a bit shorter. the result was even better than the first. it was really great too get the chance to cut it in stages so it wasn't such a drastic change. \r
\r
coming back home, the compliments were all positive. the best thing was that _i_ really liked it. it's such a versatile cut that all i need is a small amount of product and a few passes with my fingers and i'm gone. \r
\r
i wish i lived closer to portland...but now i have an excuse to visit a bit more frequently.\r
\r
overall, it was a wonderful experience, at the hands of a skilled professional who has far exceeded his reputation. \r
\r
thanks a million scott
