Day 114 - Taunton Haircut

Not bad viewed large, on black if you have time :)

Day 2 working in Taunton, and I decided I needed a haircut so I headed out from the hotel first thing this morning, and found a lovely salon for a quick chop!

I paid a little more than usual as it was a salon rather than a gents barber shop, but I was happy - I got a hair wash first which I wouldn't normally do, and was also served a very nice coffee too. The young lady in the picture was also kind enough to let me take today's picture too which was a bonus!

Aw, she seems sweet. Were you happy with the trim? Nice shot. (I thought that was a nun in the background... realised she just had a towel around her head! haha)

[Steve Angell]

@gailmmeek Great spot...she does look like a nun. I am happy with the trim, maybe in a week or so when it's really grown in nicely i'll take another selfie :)

[Nicole Campbell]

Great selfie

[Amanda F.]

Fun selfie!

[Susan]

Cool idea! Lots to look at in the room.

[🐞Lucy Dolittle]

I thought there was a nun too! Great selfie, you are very brave! I feel so awkward in these situations. The hairdresser looks really sweet

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Fun selfie!

[Linda]

Smart hair cut and a good selfie.

[Pat Knowles]

Nice shot & you are surrounded by women so well pampered too!! love the everyday look of this ...just my sort of photo of everyday life! Like the swing of the blonde girls hair in the mirror!! Love the tones here too!

No 2 all over?

[Humphrey Hippo]

Very cool selfie. :)

[Elizabeth]

Cool idea for a selfie!! - and I am a little surprised the woman isn't Stacy! lol.

[Kerri]

Cool selfie

[8yearson]

I like your bravery! I think I'd feel too self conscious...(it's something I'm working in though!). Great selfie, looks good in b & w.....

[Karin Hirsch]

Very nice selfie, cool

@nicolecampbell @mandyj92 @spair @lucypics @elisasaeter @happysnap @happypat @dreamatrix @humphreyhippo @elizabeth264 @kerristephens @jackie8 @khirsch Thank you all. It was a light trim, tapered at the back and done with scissors rather than clippers :) And don't worry, more pics of Stacey coming soon i'm sure!

[colie (Nichole Stewart)]

cool shot! A very familiar scene for me being a hairstylist but I love how you captured the atmosphere! I can tell it's a nice salon by the magnetic mat on your shoulders:)

[Steve Angell]

@colie It was a very nice place...the price reflected :) but I am happy with the doo so worth it :). Thank you for commenting!

[Judith Greenwood]

She's a pretty haircutter - I thought it was a nun as well - glad I read @gailmmeek 's comment before I made a fool of myself! You can take a girl out of the convent school....

[Gail]

@judithg Haha! :)

[☠northy]

cool selfie - love the bw processing... that camera looks like a film camera!

[Steve Angell]

@northy It does, that's half the reason I bought it :) Fuji X20, part of the X range. Theyre great, check them out!

[Thom Mitchell]

Nice shot in B&W; gives a timelessness to the image!
I tried one of these with my barber in a gent's shop once, but it was horrible of me and now he's retired. But now I'm trying to shoot people I encounter in my life -- "regularly" if not "frequently" -- and shot my stylist earlier this month. Found your post through the "hair stylist" tag … and there are only 3 on all of 365!
