Paris Hilton is reflecting on the short haircut she made trendy in the early aughts.
The 44-year-old blonde bombshell — who just partnered with Paul Mitchell— said the big chop was not intentional.
‘I was not paying attention, just like on my phone and then I looked up — and I had like long hair all the way down to my waist at this point — and I looked up and he had cut my hair all the way to my ears,’ she remembered in a chat with UsWeekly.
She said she called her sister Nicky Hilton, 41, after the upsetting ordeal.
‘I was so in shock and I looked in the mirror and I didn’t know what to say. [The hairstylist] is like “Do you like it?” And I went to the bathroom and called my sister crying,’ the entrepreneur recalled.
The haircut ended up inspiring young women after Paris embraced the unique look on red carpets.

‘I got extensions to make it like a cute bob, and I liked it, but that was… yeah, that was not done purposely,’ she revealed.
Its popularity also made her more comfortable as she shared, ‘Then it became a trend, and everyone started cutting their hair. So, I was like, “OK.”‘
Paris has been named the global ambassador for hair giant Paul Mitchell.
The mother-of-two looked flawless in an accompanying glamorous photo shoot that showed her golden locks arranged in several styles.
Her hair was styled in a blunt bob with a center part and dark roots in one look.
It was completely transformed for another snap, as she posed in a launderette while wearing a silk white slip and sheer pink robe.
Paris switched into a soft blue tennis outfit and sported a high ponytail and dramatic sideswept bang as she posed with a backdrop of a court.
Paul Mitchell describes the campaign as a ‘love letter to professional hairstylists.’
