This was not at all the haircut I had planned. In fact I just wanted the usual 1/2" off my normal do. But this is what happened when I requested my hairdresser get off the phone while cutting my hair. She had been speaking to her mother-in-law for several minutes with no indication she planned to get off. After fuming, myself, for several minutes I finally said, "I'll be happy to wait until you are off the phone for you to finish my haircut". She actually said "Why? Am I messing up the cut?" I said, "No. But I am not paying you to talk on the phone. I am paying for you to cut my hair." Several near silent minutes later I commented that it sure was short. She said," Well I had to even things up!" Then she blasted me for treating her so badly and fired me as a client. The conversation went downhill from there and I realised there was no point in trying for rationality any longer.So, Katie Grimes, I hope everyone in Thayer, MO sees your scalping and doesn't give you the chance to mess with them. I considered having business cards made of this photo and giving Ms. Grimes the credit she deserves while posting them on bulletin boards all over town.... But a week later, I am nearly over this by now. Grrr. and yes, I even paid her but NO TIP!!!!

Well, Susan, it ought to be just about perfect by September! You're in a small town and I hope your story gets around!
Uuuuh, it looks like my haircut, but I ASK for it to be done this way. LOL Different strokes.... I'm glad you are past the anger now. One hairdresser asked me if I knew the difference between a bad haircut and a good one. The punch line is, three weeks. It'll grow out. Don't sweat the small things. Enjoy this heat - NOT! Stay in the AC. Your new work has a wonderful flow of color and rhythm to it. Very nice. Rosemary
