why hair?

beauty school day #200ish: mia farrow shapes

i was so happy that my friend myong was able to be my square
layers model. she usually does a pretty good job cutting her
own hair, but with my teacher pia's help, we flattened the shape &

so the cut required a lot of length adjustment & readjustment,
