Back from my second visit to Chop Shop!

I’m so, so, so happy with the results. I asked for a fauxhawk that I could still go to work in, and it definitely is both of those. Peter took the time to explain to me the way he was going to cut it, made sure I understood the risks (growing out is going to suck), and then dove in.

I must say, my second experience there was better than the first. The staff are amazing, they really are warm and I felt like an old friend – I’m totally socially awkward, so feeling comfortable is a rarity, and they manage to accomplish it with ease. I got a beverage this time (a green-apple-tini), and there was no waiting. I expect the wait last time was a time-of-day thing (also a new place getting set up and such). Also visiting for the day was a puppy!

Every single one of my cons from the last visit evaporated, and I’m left with naught but a delightful cut and a great experience.

Onto the clothes! I’ve been wanting to wear this for a while, and just haven’t, I’m not sure why. I love how the stripes look with the floral, this dress is perfect for pairing with other patterns.
