Shakira surprised her fans this week when she posted a new photo on her Twitter page of her new hair style. Shakira is now sporting a much shorter do, similar to the new look Katy Perry is rocking, which she revealed earlier this week.

While on holiday in Barcelona, the sexy singer popped into local salon Jordi Ripoll, which opened their doors especially for Shakira. The 'Rabiosa' songstress had several inches of her gorgeous golden locks chopped off during the salon session, and photographers who waited outside for their first glimpse of the new do said the haircut lasted over six hours.

Shakira made her debut with her new look on Tuesday afternoon (Dec. 6) on Twitter where she wrote, "Hace 4 horas estoy estrenando corte de pelo!! 4 hours ago I got my hair cut!"

After leaving the hair saloon, the Colombian singer was said to have gone straight to her boyfriend's apartment to show off her new sharp bob with bangs.

For those who are already missing Shakira's long hair, they can now order her new 'Shakira: Live From Paris' DVD/Blu-ray/CD. Fans can find the item at local music retailers or purchase it online by clicking here.
