Why I Cut My Hair Short
Why I cut my hair short. I looked basic and plain. Or at least that’s how I felt when I looked in the mirror with my nearly shoulder length hair. I have been growing it out for nearly 9 months and I have had all I could take!
Prior to this, I had been sporting a short pixie cut for nearly 8 years and then I decided to see if I liked longer locks. I. Did. Not. I have to cut my hair short again.
I have to cut this mess off! This is exactly why I cut my hair short.
The extra time to fix it, the extra shampoo and products and amazing curling iron I paid more for than I care to admit. It was just a pain in the booty to keep my hair longer. Now, if my stylist could fix it for me every morning so I looked like I did from the salon (like I do in the pic below)…nah, I still wouldn’t want it.
And here is a good poofy hair day I did it myself. This look took 1/4 bottle hair spray to achieve. I could not get the curling iron trick down save my life. Also, the filter on this pic makes us look yellow. Hahaa. I feel like I should be running for a political office with this hair here. Perfectly coifed and every hair in place.
Chop it off!
So the day we went to the salon, my husband suggested we video my haircut. I almost told him no, y’all wouldn’t care a thing about it, but he insisted. To my surprise, its the most viewed video on my YouTube channel, Monica Says. Who knew! Well, husband knew…he was correct.
So here is the video…

And here is a normal, going to work, pic of me. A pic of my hair after I cut my hair short again. And here is a link to the Salon I went to. Elements Salon in Mooresville NC.

Best Facial Hands Down
Monica is the best! She will tailor the facial to what your skin needs and is truly amazing!
Response from Monica Hicks
Thank you so much for the glowing review Natalie!
Amazing Services-No one finer
Monica is the absolute best at everything she does! In particular, she’s been working on my brows for over 10 years and most recently I’ve been getting regular facials with her. She knows so much about skin, the products she uses and techniques that I just always let her choose which one I get. I always come away from my facials feeling all kinds of relaxed, but ladies, I’m 53 years old and have never had more compliments on my skin. Monica, you can never retire 🥰
Relaxing and refreshing skin care
I love Monica’s treatment room – it’s cozy and quiet. Whether I’m getting a facial or brow wax and tint, it always feels like a peaceful little get away from life’s demands. Monica takes excellent care of my sensitive skin and personalizes her services to meet whatever my skin needs at the time of my visit.
Facial
I’ve known Monica for a few years. She is a master at skin care and beauty! I am very picky with my personal care products. I really liked the one line she carries by skinscript. Her facials are VERY relaxing. I feel like all my troubles just melt away when I’m on Monica’s table. My face shines when she is done. The waxing always looks amazing too!
An Angel? An amazing esthetician? Both!
Monica is an Angel when it comes to treating the skin and it’s varying issues! I have been seeing her regularly since I was 18 (now 24), so she has worked with my skin through many difficult seasons! No matter what condition my skin is in, I always look forward to my appointments. Monica goes above and beyond to make sure you are relaxed and comfortable, no matter the treatment you’re receiving. I’ve even fallen asleep on more than one occasion! Her high quality products, tools, and wealth of knowledge on the skin- sets her high above any average esthetician. I am constantly referring my friends to her and cannot recommend her services enough. Thank you Monica!

Two things:
1. I have never seen you look frumpy, but I know feeling that way is just as bad!
2. The music when the haircut was revealed with the spinning chair! Cracked. Me. Up. Good job Brent and Monica!
Well, two things:
1. I really try not to ever look frumpy because it makes me feel terrible about myself. 😉
2. I laughed at that too. That was ALL Brent.
