Thanks so much for the kind words and the wonderful advice! I am looking into possibly working with Leona before I say goodbye to my hair. If I do cut it, I will see about videotaping it. After all, it's not every day I get to do a drastic cut- I haven't done one for eleven years! (But when I did it, it was pretty drastic. I went from having upper back-length hair to having less than half of an inch...talk about an extreme change!)

Your reply was really thoughtful, and I appreciate it very much. Thanks again!
