Beautiful!

You could avoid the completely sheared look by cutting the back half and when you are seeing some new growth, then cut the front. Or by shearing every-other plant now, then the other half when the first-sheared are regrowing.

Or if you have the patience, you could spend more time on it and remove about 25% of it by cutting the longest stems back to the crown. In a few weeks, repeat, then repeat as needed whenever any particular stem gets too long.
The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
