Judith Vitale Huntley: Before my ten year high school reunion, I brought a photo down to a stylist of the layered cut I wanted, and a separate shot for the color I wanted. The owner, a woman in her 70s, got to work. She would study the picture, cut a little. Check it again, cut some more. I closed the place down—my visit lasted five full hours. When she spun my chair to the mirror, I found I had short bangs instead of layers around my face. It was also soupy brown instead of blonde and three inches shorter overall than we had discussed.
