Haircut Redux

Today I went back to the famous S, who developed the multiphased plan for my hair this summer. Last time I went to S was in August, and he devised a plan that involved me growing out my hair and morphing into a Victoria's Secret supermodel-like-figure. I know, it's taken me a while to go back--blame my laziness and general apathy toward my hair.

I showed up to my appointment today to have S meet me at the door. This is what happened:

Me: "I've been working very hard at growing out my hair since the last cut."
S: "Let me look, to see if you have done a good job" (what the hey--does he seriously think I have control over how much my hair grows)
S: (after fumbling around with my hair for a bit) "well, its not bad, but you still need to grow it at least two more inches. At least."
M: "Okay, I'll keep devoting all of my spare time to growing it out." (again not even a sympathy giggle from S)
S: "This time, I will blow dry your hair. I want you to see what we can do if we blow dry."
(I get my hair washed for the first time ever with S)
S: "Since your hair is still not long enough I will have to cut it shorter so it looks longer."
M: "Ummm...say what???"
S: "You'll see."
(hacks away at my hair--never asking my opinion)

So I'll let you decide. I've posted below and after shots below. The before shot -- from last week The second two are today after S has worked on my hair. I think it does look longer--craziness!
