Well not physically, but the mental anguish that follows does. I had yet another crappy hair cut today, and I am bummed. I always ask for a trim, yet they still seem to cut it waay too short. I hate my hair short, because it feels really weird, and it just doesn’t suit my head. Today I was just sitting there, watching how short the hairdresser would cut my hair. They always ask “what number clippers do ya want today”. How the heck am I supposed to know? I’m not a hairdresser.. so I just say, “Oh, yeah just take off a few cms, I don’t like it short”.
So she starts clipping and hacking at the sideburns first, and it looked ok, but then, she got the scissors out, and started cutting huge arse chunks outta my head. I keep thinking to myself that she knows what she is doing, and it’ll all turn out fine. As time passed by I gradually noticed how crap my haircut is looking, but I never speak up when it happens, because she always has a pair of sharp scissors in her hands.
When it is finally over, I can see that it is EXACTLY the haircut that I didn’t want, and I just smile and nod, when I get shown the back of my head in the little hand-held mirror.”Do you like it?” asks the hairdresser. As if they are going to be able to fix it now that it is like 3 kilometers too short.. So I just smile and nod, and pay the money for the crappiest hack job ever. Hair dressers are cool people, but they always know how to give people really bad and awkward haircuts. I guess I’ll just wear a cap for the next 2 weeks, until it stops looking like a freshly butchered cut.

Haha, that is SOO true. Last week I paid about 80$ (Yeah, danish “cutters” are expensive), and it looked like, hmm, you know, so I went straight back to my house, took my clipper and.. Puuf, bald I was.. :/
I know how you feel, I usually end up like that too. But after a day or two it’s usually alright. That’s why I prefer to cut my hair on fridays, so if I’m not satisfied I can stay at home the weekend out and feel ok when I’m off to meet people again:P
But yea, where’s the pixxzz?
The last thing I am going to do is post a picture :D hhahah.
Where is the picture?
yes they do. Thats why I havn’t had one since July 17 2005.
Hahahahahaha that sounds about right
I really recognize hat feeling, I never understand why I just dont say, “youre cutting it to short”!
haha, so true about when they ask you at the end. You can’t fix it then!!! thats why i always go to a regular place, and get the same lady.
Grow some balls la. Tell the hairdresser they’re not doing what you want. Complain about it. Then never go back there again.
Oz people need qualifications to cut other people’s hair and they go a shit job of it. Malaysian hairdressers don’t even speak English properly and they do awesome stuff. Better ask your Mum to trim for you.
