Hair today, gone tomorrow

Bad pun aside. today I bit the bullet and got a hair cut. It has been 7 months since my last one. My hair had got a bit long and it needed doing. Problem is that I'd got used to long hair and quite liked it despite the impracticalities. But i was more than happy to get it tidied up. I originally was going to go to a new place that opened a couple of weeks ago and was offering 50% off for new clients. Great! i thought, so i rang them up only to find out that all the staff were holiday for a week so it wasn't open! How does that work then? Open for 2 weeks and they close down for a week? Hmmm. Still it meant going to the one I went to last time which I have know quarms about.
So the lady set about cutting it and got it into some sort of order I liked. But then she kept going and before I knew it my hair was a helluva lot shorter than i wanted. Its bad enough trying to get used to the new do when its how you want it so I'm kinda getting paranoid about it. Hoping it will grow on me.
And also, before i forget, the place charged me £3 extra cos my hair was past the ears! Extortionate!
