My hair was really annoying me this morning. I was thinking I need to get to the hairdresser soon. But then I thought, how hard can it be to cut hair?
So got out the dogs hair cutting scissors and just sort of hacked around. Whalla! I haven't found mirror so I can check the back but I am sure it looks ok. And who says it 's suppose to be even anyway!!
After this liberating experience I don't think I'll be at the hairdressers ever again.
Definitely a fan of the clippers, Binos . Still, No. 3? Bit of a hippy, I see. I stick with No. 2 blade, if only for the Summer. Saves $16 on a hairdresser, who'll basically do what I do, anyway.
Bunch of fluffy huggy pony tail clad soft hippies...
It's down to the scalp for one and another attack with the shears the minute the stuff touches one's ears. Can't wait to go bald but one's dad still has all his own hair and one fears that wish may never be granted.
$16 for a haircut? When I visit my hairdresser it nearly always costs in the vicinity of $200... Occasionally it's painful to pay that much, but it's super hard to find an awesome hairdresser. And the complimentary champagne eases the pain. Come to think of it, that's probably why they offer free alcohol!
i get my hair cut a fancy salon but only because the hot chick who works there , she can cut hair also . if a gal has gorgeous hair ( long and silky , mmmm ) simple haircut is just as good as super expensive one . and if you dont have great hair even the most fancy hairdresser cant help
One's hair tends to the thick and curly end of the spectrum and one looks enough like a demented sheep without making matters worse.
Hairdresser for me every time ... but on the bright side, one of my nieces will soon be a hairdresser and I'm expecting to call in a few favours ... on a regular basis.
Rossco ... were you not sporting a mass of dark, curly hair in a recent photo of yourself?? Or is the sheared look a fairly new thing?
One has a bit of a thing about men with shaved heads or very short buzz-cuts.
For that I may very well have to grow a beard and plait ribbons thru it.
guccigal , you're not a "hair-styling" groupie, are you? Only too keen to part with the hard-earned at the sniff of free champers? Still, everyone has their price.
When one found a hairdresser that knew how to handle one's barnet ( sorta briar crossed with boxthorn) one was dead chuffed. Then she moved and one never did find a worthy successor. Probably why the No. 2 blade.
The good thing about stylists. . . there had to be a redeeming feature in all that huggy self-laudatory over-pricing. . . is the good ones do know how to cut a woman's hair well. Hair-dressery is like brain-surgery, never do it yerself.
Unless one has clippers, which are pretty much safe, with two mirrors.
edited for bluey's benefit: Yuppers, ma'am, one has taken to the "whitewalls" since early this year. Definitely reduces the itchiness. One day it shall be allowed to grow out, maybe after next Spring.
Self-help grade 2 every 2 weeks. I do miss the ladies downstairs in the building where I used to work in KL though. Shampoo, head massage, neck massage, haircut, cup of tea, biscuits and lots of chat.
Am pretty sure I'm not a hair-styling groupie as i don't know what that is.... It's expensive mostly because I have long hair, and I don't let any of the apprentices or inexperienced hairdressers come near me.
I have a six-inch wide parting, so my hair is not difficult to cut. It does need to be tidied up every now and again, so I popped off to the barbers - er, gentlemen's grooming parlour - the other day.
"Ullo" she whined "Ave you 'ad yer 'olidays then?"
I remembered what Julius Caesar said when his slave asked how he wanted his hair cut - "In silence".
I remained civil, and the job was done in a few minutes. She charged me £7.40, which is a bit less than I am used to, so I sneaked a look at the price list. She had charged me the Pensioners' rate.
I hardly think that shaving ones head a particular number can be compared to the intrincacies (can't spell that word) of actually CUTTING with scissors into a stylish, head turning cut.
I spoke to my mum on the phone today . She asked what I had been doing? I said cutting my hair. OMG, she said, you're just like your father. What this has to do with anything, I'm not sure either.
I will see if my husband even notices when he gets home.
My hairdresser, who obviously fancies himself to be the next Frederic Fekkai, must be the most amusing character in the revered world of Hair and all that goes with it. Uber-Hair-Nazi he is, very, very good at what he does but snobbish to the last little bone in his Cavalli-clad body...
He's an absolute drama queen, you should see ze fits he gets into if zomething is not to his liking, priceless!
Wanted to give my mane a good chop not that long ago coz' it is such a pain to wash, takes forever to dry and I'm not the most patient person around, but a mere mention of me and short(ish) hair to Steffano made him squeal out loud and start tut-tutting around ze salon, wringing his manicured hands and rolling his eyes... As I said, priceless....
Ze zilly, zilly girl (that's me) promised to not entertain such heretic thoughts in the future and was let off with just a serious warning and a complimentary essential oil treatment... Got to love him.. eerr, her???
Or is the sheared look a fairly new thing?
resemble that remark 
Still, everyone has their price.
