If her Instagram photos are to be trusted, reformed guidette and recently hitched Nicole "Snooki" LaValle may have just done the unthinkable–cut off her trademark long locks in favor of a much shorter (and adorable!) ’do. Snooki's crimson hair has been on the lengthy side for a while now, so maybe the new mom just needed to change things up.

Before

Nicole posted this casual photo to Instagram (big, messy bun included) with the caption, "Say goodbye to this hair cause mommys getting a makeover." Say WHAT?

During

After her stylist posted this snap of some chopped off strands, it was clear the Snooki and JWOWW star wasn't messing around.

Wait a sec... is her red-as-a-Jersey-Shore-house-Solo-Cup color no more, too? Could it be?!

When she uploaded this salon selfie, her followers were initially a teensy bit skeptical. Did she really go for it, or was it all just the result of some highly intricate pinning techniques that gave her a trendy faux-bob?

After

Sorry, Snooki skeptics–looks like ya girl truly got her hurr did, and the new look is perfectly suited to the ~sophisticated woman~ she's grown to be over the years. WERK.
