got my haircut today.

So, as a man, these things ought to take 15 min maximum! Unles you're doing something with it or maybe it's long, I don't know.

Avg haircut for me over the years has been 10 or so, the quicker the better, today was different.

First day on the job, hands shaking, obvious effort to make conversation. Nice girl, but damn, after 45 minutes, I was ready to stand and bail.

I'll fnd out in a few days if it was as bad a cut as it felt.

Vent over.

    Tough on anyone first day on a job especially when dealing with the general public and a set of rules and procedures just drummed into your head on how to perform.

    As frustrating as it was I also hope that you didn`t ruin her day or create a job problem for her,life is too short for that over a haircut. :smile:

    Not even a little. I knew it was going to be an issue when her hands were shaking a little on the back.

    What made it worse for her was her new boss was hovering and making "mmhmm" comments.

    I also tipped her more than normal, which for the women reading, isn't as mch as you guys do

    I would have been tempted to take the boss aside and have a few words of constructive criticism with them as far as how they were behaving.

    Thought about it, but figured less first day drama the better. And I was late for HH

    I was weirded out because she went to the back over and over, and most over my hair is all on top and front


    Anyway. I'm sure it'll be fine.

    Oh but NSV! I was really hungry and passed Wendy's. A spicy chicken combo mmmmmmm. Passed!

    Oh yes, I remember those days. Sometimes new stylists just don't cut enough off and take longer because they need to go back and cut more.

    Don't ever get your hair done at the beauty schools then! They take forever, and then someone else comes and re-cuts!!! Hope you like it in a few days.
