i finally decided that it was time to bite the bullet and find someone to cut my hair. after depending on friends that are professionals and even friends that aren't technically professionals for so many years i was at a loss to know exactly where to go. so with coupon in hand, i decided on a quick, cheap trim from great clips. my stylist was phyllis - a greek woman probably in her upper 40's with a thick accent.....and brutally honest. it started when she combed through my hair and there was some left in her comb. "you don't rinse. just like my kids. you must rinse. this hair...this is because you don't rinse." like an obedient child i nodded and promised i would rinse better. five seconds later she got a look of awful disgust on her face. "who cut your hair last?! you see this? very uneven." lying through my teeth i said it was a friend. the truth? during my unemployed stint this fall i got bored one morning and decided to see how hard it would be to give myself a trim. i knew it wasn't salon worthy but i didn't think that it was that uneven. apparently it was. (tori...i'm so sorry. :) please do not be totally appalled.) i got the hint that a stylist is not my calling, and definitely not on myself, when she continued to mutter under her breath how uneven my hair was for the rest of the time i was in the chair. and to top it all off, i asked phyllis to give me some side bangs at the end, to which she replied "this short?! no no. it will not blend. you come back next time and we will cut shorter. trust me. i do not lie to you." i decided not to fight it. i was only paying $9 and the whole experience was actually quite entertaining. now my only fear is that if i don't go back in 4-6 weeks as instructed, another phyllis scolding awaits me. :)

hilarious. Yes, I also go to Great Clips, and it's never a dull moment. :)
so do I maybe fit into the category of giving you a haircut from a "not quite professional"? :) i sure hope so! I'd love to see a pic of this new haircut!
I cant believe its taken me this long to comment. First of all, shame on you. :) Here's an idea, instead of wasting you $9, how bout you just save $9 a month, untill you have enough to get a real hair cut there, or gas to come here. :) Second of all, My picture on facebook is headless because I haven't had my hair cut in 3ish months, and its awful. So although I'm attempting to scold you, at least you attempted to take action and seek help. (I'm getting mine cut tomorrow!) Love ya!
