All right, ladies, we all know what it’s like to be in a relationship rut with your hair. Bangs are permanently stalled in the growing-out phase, color has faded to a blah, lackluster bronze, and the shape–what shape? Some days, it feels like the only option is a boring ponytail, and others you’re ready to pull a Britney and just shave it all off. Well, what if we could help you find a happy medium?
For an upcoming issue, The Washingtonian is seeking a few readers ready to rock a new ‘do. We’ll pair you up with some of the best stylists in town to transform your tresses–all you have to do is tell us why you want a new look.
Interested in applying? Here’s what you need to know:
Submissions (send to makeovers@washingtonian.com) will be accepted through Thursday, May 10.
