Last week I made a hair appointment at a local ‘salon’. It was going to be my first haircut by someone other than my regular stylist, Dawna, in years. I was nervous, but had no other option. I needed it to be quick and Dawna is not only downtown, but has recently relocated to another salon and I wasn’t ready to drive all the way there.<\/p>\n
I should have.\u00a0 She destroyed my hair.\u00a0 The cut is horrendous.
\nI’ve only had two other really bad haircuts before. Both were mullets. The first was when I was in grade 3. I actually asked for the mullet because I thought that’s what the ‘feathered’ style was. The hairdresser followed my orders and shouldn’t have. Who listens to an 8-year old, anyway?<\/p>\n
The second time was a walk-in when I was living in Virginia. They tried to be too stylish and cut too much off on the sides. I was feeling unsure about it, but when I went out to a movie with a friend that night he took one look at me and said “Ummmm…you have a mullet. Was that on purpose?” I don’t actually remember what movie we were there to see…I can only remember sitting there in a panic about how the hair dilemma could be resolved. Go shorter? Patiently grow it out? No pictures exist of that time in my life.<\/p>\n
Fast forward to today. I end up with a horrible haircut (not quite a mullet, but closer than I wanted to come) and absolutely no time to work on making it look better. Excellent.<\/p>\n
Options this time? Go shorter?\u00a0 Grow it out?\u00a0 No, I’ll just hide in the house. Thank God it’s wintertime.<\/p>\n
