Just cut it off…
I’ve never been one to readily embrace change so when I walked into Taylor Taylor a couple of weeks ago my grandiose plans to chop it all off quickly turned rather sheepish. I whipped out a photo of Jayne and said, ’like this’ – only to then backtrack and reveal my uncertainty over cutting off the hair I’d spent the last two years growing out. Cue ten minutes of deliberation, during which both the hair stylist and colorist talked me through my hair type plus the pros and cons of going shorter. In the end I shoved my face into my hands and garbled an incoherent ‘just do it.’
A couple hours later I emerged a blonder perkier version of my past self. Introduced to the wonders of a round brush and hair products (hello mousse) I’m never looking back. In fact, I’m already making mental plans to go back so that I can go even shorter.
Massive thank you to Taylor Taylor for the most wonderful cut and colour. There’s nothing more upsetting than leaving a hair appointment feeling that you didn’t receive what you asked for and the amount of time they spent, before even getting started, ensured that didn’t happen. I couldn’t recommend the place enough. Also, huge thank you to Kit, who trekked across London to keep me company and take these photos. Thank you, Kit.

It looks so healthy Jen, great cut! I’m terrible with going to the hairdressers too… xo

Oh my gawd. You look stunning girl!
You’re just like me, i literally need someone to hold my hand when i get my hair snipped. So traumatizing
a) Love your new website layout!
b) It’s great you got a haircut! Looks fresh and chic!
c) Ah love these photos. Kit’s style is really unique
Ah yes that’s about it. Haha
Aw your hair looks gorgeous and that hair salon looks so awesome. It looks like you could really relax in there with the boudoir feel to it and oh mann, the vintage tea cups!
It looks gorgeous! I wish I had the balls to do the same, I’ve been craving a shorter, edgier style for so long but getting a drastically different hair cut just terrifies me! I can never bring myself to go through with it!
It looks absolutely gorgeous on you! I always love shorter hair more. Much more sophisticated when done right. {And it’s done right here of course, beautiful!}
I think you look so much younger! its such a fresh look.
very nice!
Oh wow! It looks lovely and that hairdressers looks amazing! Like a princesses bedroom! I wouldn’t want to leave! I had my haircut at the weekend and I hate it! I hate the hair dressers, I’d rather go to the dentists! Maybe next time I should fork out and go somewhere as lovely as this!

It looks great, Jen. Totally a good decision.
You look great! SO brave of you. My hair is getting ridiculously long. Like, Barbie long. But that’s because I haven’t cut it in about a year!! Sometimes I think I should just chop it off, I toy with all kinds of ideas like here:

But then I always chicken out. I do so love my messy buns…
nice change! this length is actually very versatile (mine is similar) you can still tie it back if you need to but who would with such a great hair cut

that looks like quite a hairdresser! what a fantastic place
great new hairdo girl

Aww, so happy you loved the suggestion. And I might be biased (I have the exact same hairdo), but I love this on you! Literally can’t bring myself to go anywhere but Taylor Taylor now…

You look so pretty!
Such a lovely atmosphere and full of character, I think I walked pass their other branch in Soho…can’t remember.
Darn those pins.
Your new haircut turned out really well! I’m glad in the end you decided to just go for it ^^
I love getting my haircut especially ones that makes you look COMPLETELY different, last year I finally felt brave enough to get a super short hair cut (sorta like twiggy) and I hated it at first because it was such a drastic changed but it ended up being one of my fave looks. You look very pretty with your new hairdo, I love the colour, it REALLY suits you!

It looks super good! I would love to do something like that, but I don’t know if I have the guts. But after seeing this result, maybe I will? Although I still haven’t food THAT perfect hair dresser, somehow every time I leave the hair saloon I’m not completely happy with the result. By the way, I love your shoes. I have some similar ones, this reminded me that I should definitely wear them more often.
Oh and thanks for the comment on my blog, the food was indeed delicious!
Ahh you look so fresh and gorgeous! I love it! Hope you’re loving it too! It’s still long enough for you to style, but hey obviously you know how I feel about chopping hair so if you want to go even shorter you know you’ll have a friend!
