Tending to her stylish new hairdo, Hayden Panettiere paid a pre-weekend visit to Warren Tricomi salon in West Hollywood on Friday. The "Heroes" hottie flaunted her short locks as she strolled out of the beauty parlor sporting a black "Omg" t-shirt with dark jeans and a pair of shades.

Recently talking about the dramatic change from long blonde locks to a cropped haircut, Hayden revealed that she’s tired of her squeaky clean image. “I’m typically a very fiery person but I just feel like cute and blonde and little is just so one category and one thing and changing my hair color, I feel like I don’t have to overcompensate so much for the fact that I don’t like being called cute for anything like that – especially being all 5ft 2 of me.”
