I have very simple hair (or so I would have thought) and I just go to the cheapie First Choice Haircutters which is very close by. Been going there ever since I lived here which is over 10 years now.

Anyway today, I end up with this girl who I'd never seen before. Didn't give it much thought; I always just go with whoever summons me to their chair; I generally figure my hair is too simple to screw up.

Long story short: half an hour later I am questioning for eighth time why there are these weird jagged lines in my haircut which are in different places on both sides of my head. Usually my hair is basically smooth. There are no layers or anything. But now I've got jagged layers. And she's very puzzled and ready to go at my head with the clippers some more and I'm finally saying, "No, don't do any more please."

My intention was to go directly somewhere else for another haircut and see if some kind of salvage was possible.

Anyway, although I was not loudly freaking out or anything - not my nature - the haircutter at the next station had obviously been clueing in on the trainwreck-in-progress. We have known each other for a long time and she came to my rescue.

I was relocated from one haircut chair to the next. It was a first for me. My haircuts usually take, what, 15 minutes? I was in the damn place today for close to an hour. That first girl would probably still be trying various corrections if I hadn't finally stopped her.

Anyway, Janet to the rescue. Hair looks good now. Very short - no way around that - but good.
 
Last time I went to First Choice I got this lady who could barely speak English. I had no idea what she was doing; I think she was giving me a mushroom cut. I stopped her halfway through and just told her to give me a buzz cut. There are pictures of me somewhere with a military cut. Never went back again. I only let homos cut my hair now.
 
Muddy, not what it is meant for but might help you out till it grows back in a little! Put it on and look in the mirror!

Ouch. Poor new girl. What a nightmare.

Do you like your new shorter do?

I have one and only one nightmare haircut story as well.

My cut is always so simple. #1 side and back, trim the top a bit. Easy as pie.

Had the little barbershop across the street about 4 years ago. Had been going for years. One barber...old guy named Fred. Always did a fine job.

Fred's health began to deteriorate. Cancer of some sort. Would tell stories of falling down. Would ask you the same question twice in a sitting. Stuff like that. But still good haircuts so I continued to visit and support him.

One day I go for the same deal. It's like he doesn't even recognize me. OK no biggie. Understandable. Same as always I say. #1 side and back, trim the top a bit.

OK he says. Grabs his electric razor and promptly goes right down the middle of the top of my head with it. It was like a scene from those military movies when the sad cadets sit there as their beautiful locks roll down their noses.

I was mortified. But said nothing. What could I say at this point? It was done.

Fred shaved my entire head with a #1. A guy who was waiting apparently heard what I asked for and locked eyes with me for a second and he kinda shook his head sympathetically. He felt my pain.

I don't have the head for the bald/very little hair all around look. It was horrid.

I hope Fred is doing well, but I never went back to see him anymore.

Yeah well as I say, I never had any problem before. My hair is so simple I almost feel like I could do it myself.

Well that's going a bit too far but I let women who can't speak English loose on it. I don't care if you have horrible hair yourself or are wearing a burka or whatever. Help yourself to my hair.

Anyway, here is what it looks like now:

Yeah I feel bad for her. I was not trying to draw a lot of attention to the situation but I guess it could not be helped because I had to keep saying, "Why do I have these lines here? I don't usually have that. I think you need to go higher with the clippers and blend or something."

And then there was the whole switching-of-the-chairs ceremony. People could not help but notice. When this girl went to ask for the next customer while Janet was working on my hair, at least a couple guys said they would just wait for the next person.

Then when I was finally getting up to pay, a woman in the waiting area gave me a big smile and thumbs up. So she obviously knew what was going on.

I feel bad for her but my god she needs to learn how to cut hair. I would expect the average person off the street could do a better job.
 
I would NEVER sit in a chair after some random chick summoned me.

Haircuts are serious business for us (but very affordable @ $10 plus tip)

We've been going to the same girl for 3 years.

We get our haircut once a week so we don't take this lightly.

Muddy, it looks like they salvaged your hair quite nicely.

A disaster has been averted here boys.

:cheers:
 
LOL at new girl asking for next and everyone pointing at the next guy. Probably the only time that will ever happen :lol:

I'd like to be Durito's barber. I bet he tips well. I could use some good tips right about now :banghead:
