I had a haircut today. My first one in Melbourne. Apart from in what I call the lost years, I’ve pretty much had variations of the same hairstyle my entire life and that’s okay. I just needed a little snip, some new layers and my fringe trimmed and I decided on Rok Hair in South Yarra. Going to a new salon is always a little unnerving but I was instantly charmed by their great dressing tables.
Large vintage wooden dressers! Each one different and some had the most fantastic grain and rings in the wood, and their mirrors were each unique too. I couldn’t resist asking if I could photograph them.
But interiors aside, my stylist Laura was probably the nicest I’ve ever had (except for my Sarah, nobody is nicer than her <3 <3), she was lovely and interesting to talk to and I felt totally at ease perched before her. I received the best customer service at Rok right from the moment I called to make my appointment to when we said goodbye, and I don’t know, maybe it’s the weight I lost from the cut, but I’ve been walking on air all day.

I’m about to go for my first haircut in many a year – you see i graduate soon, and since the photos will forever adorn the mantle pieces of Chopras worldwide i thought i’d better do something to my hair. The fro hasnt changed, its gained force if anything over the years, and since it needs to go under a hat i have decided to go straight – not the permanent kind with yuk chemicals, but the iron. SO if im to straighten my hair it should all be the same LENGTH, in some sort of style i guess – hence the need for a cut.
As you can see im putting a lot of thought into it.
