As we were scrolling through Instagram Saturday night, we happened upon a shot of a newly shorn JLaw with her hairstylist-buddy, Mark Townsend. “WHAT?” we said to no one in particular. Has Jennifer been reading our site? Does Peeta know about this?

Naturally, we emailed Mark for details on his client's new cut. Here's what he had to say:

'Jennifer texted me that she needed a haircut and told me to bring a chainsaw. I laughed and assumed we would just cut an inch or two off the bottom but when I showed up she answered the door saying, 'I want to cut all my hair off!' Her hair did get quite damaged from all the coloring she had to do for different roles so she needed a good trim, But Jen wanted more than a trim. We looked at a few images to determine length and we started with a lob with long layers but Jen kept saying, 'I love it, let's go shorter!' So I cut her hair into a shoulder-length shag with tons of layers throughout, starting around her cheekbone. This cut is so versatile, she can wear it wavy for a fun, playful look or style it straight for a chic look, and she still has enough length to wear it up?”

As for photo 3, Mark posted on Instagram: “Was I nervous cutting off Katniss's braid? HECK YEA I WAS! And here's the finger I cut 'cause my hands were shaking, lol?” We feel his pain.
