If You Want Something Done Right…

I went to get a haircut today. Usually I do it myself but my hair was getting a bit longer after the buzz I gave myself a few weeks ago so I figured I would go with the gay flip again for a while. I couldn’t seem to get across to the woman what I wanted, although to me “Straight clippers on the side fading up into a one and a half on top with it slightly longer in the front so I can flip it up” should have been enough. When I got the confused look I even said “Like a high and tight but not so high.” When I left I knew it wasn’t what I wanted but I wasn’t going to call her out in front of other customers…that’s what they make hotlines for. I got home and just looking in the mirror I can tell that I got a number one all over, the hair in the back is longer than on top because she never asked me to tilt my head down, and I count five spots where there are tufts of hair longer than the rest on the top and the sides. Now I’m working on using bare clippers all over so that I can start again to get this right in a few weeks.

Bleh.

    I usually get a simple buzz, too, but I’ve gone to the same guy for five years. Sometimes there is a long wait for him but it is always worth it.
