I've been the lucky recipient of just that.
Last night, this young lady would not allow me to go another day on this planet
looking like something that just crawled out of an alley cardboard box (as she put it).
 
She took this deadbeat:
and transformed him into:
So much for my mid-life crisis of being a ponytailed hippie...

Wow, she took years off of you with that transformation. Looking good.

OH....MY....GAWD!
That's very extreme. What does the wife think? Incidentally, for my tastes, I like the "before": but that's just me...
Robt.
Incidentally, I just last week got my first beard-and-hair trim since APRIL, so once again you're cruising in my wake dude...

| I hope I won't get in trouble for this, but I think the "before" looked way sexier. |

There are very few pictures of me in existence. I've actually posted every one I've taken since I joined DPC. It's a matter of personal policy. Plus, I hate my chin :-)

Appears as though a bit of "coloring" was included. That is certain to remove years off one's looks.
Of course in my case, I worked too hard to earn every grey hair I have. Display them with pride. |

Just got off the phone with my daughter - can't get my old hair back - trash truck has already been by.
Waaaaahhhh - what have I done???
Well at least I don't have to wear that ratty old hat anymore to keep my hair down.
Even my cat hissed at it.. |

Yeah, we're aging hippies :-) In my case I cut it because combing out the snarls in my hair was pissing me off.

Looks great Brad!!! I think it makes you look many years younger. Can I have her phone number to see if she can do the same for me.
I did hair for 20 years and the thing I liked doing most was the extreme one. It's amazing to see the difference it can make.
Edited to say. When you get ready for another change just keep the facial hair as is but grow back the mustache with it. That's how my husband has his and it makes him so sexy looking.

A "bit" - LOL
That stuff STINKS too! Smelled like drain cleaner.
Told my daughter she was the artist and I was the canvas. (but NO Mohawk!)
On the upside - the OMG looks I have been getting from customers is priceless. One came in this morning, and I had my back turned a bit and had a different jacket on. I heard "Excuse me, is Brad here?" then I turned around - his look was too funny.

Um Brad, I just can't see the "new you" driving an old VW bug, or the lugnut
Does look better though. |

Wow! Your daughter did a wonderful job. I'll bet it felt odd the first time washing or combing through that short hair! LOL
Looks nice. You can leave the gray next time though...I think guys look great with a little gray in the hair. |

I know what you mean about the OMG looks.
I used to have hair down to my belt. One particularly hot humid day I got fed up and went to a barbershop and got it shaved. The looks I got for weeks were priceless.

I like the post processed version much better. Some might prefer the RAW version but post processing is way much better.

Cold weather here & not having the VW heater boxes hooked up = brrrrr.
Been driving my 91 Prelude Si instead. That is until someone buys it.
Then it's back to brrrrr - and maybe a knit cap or something - a bit chilly now up top... |

I WISH 68° ! It's 60° in the shop right now.
Been quite a few mornings I have had to scrape the frost off the windows. 40° overnight is common.
Oh I know... waaaaah waaaaaah waaaaah.

Now it's maybe 20F and gloomy.
