If my GF ever chops her hair off, I'm leaning towards the 50s sitcom mom look. At that point, I'll have an excuse to invest in a pipe, bifocals and cardigan sweater.
I dont have a set stylist so I go with a normal cut, short layers around my chin with longer layers around my shoulders. It is IMPOSSIBLE for a new stylist to screw up, so it always comes out looking good.
