The Unkindest Cut of All

[festusmonroe]

I found out today that I will soon no longer be a lowly temp, but a full-fledged member of the PSS corporate slave culture. In exchange for all additional monetary compensation and benefits contained therein, I am required to cut my hair. I’ve been meaning to do so anyway, however it is annoying to be forced

You need to go to a girly place. For hair like yours, regular barbershops just aren't going to know how to cut your hair. When you go to a girly place they won't even give you a choice. The stylist will take one look at you and say, "I know exactly what you need. You're going to look gorgeous. Now sit still."

Lots of guys go to stylists. I wouldn't say it was UNmanly at all. I think it just takes a lot of guts.

By the way, I would love to get my hair cut in the captain's chair. For some reason, that just sounds really funny to me. Like they serve fish and chips while you're waiting your turn or something. Hair Cuttery/Eatery.

she's right. no stylist would dream of cutting it too short to be curly--unless he or she was the crappiest stylist of all. but it'll be a leetle pricey. still, better than being insulted by moronic barbers and their halfwit clientel.

and the hair cutter/eatery is a fantastic idea--except for all the hair in the food. still, i'm never so hungry or thirsty as when i sit down at the salon and know i'll have to be there for a while.

Personally I'd be all about it. However, it would seem odd showing off my new coif when I smell like hushpuppies.

Yes, I'll have the crab legs, a sweet tea, and a little off the top.

Hey Tara, you've got cool hair, do you know of a good place? And how much does this sort of thing cost?

ooh! congrats on the for-real employee status. you little corporate climber, you.

i don't think the rock is something you can lose to a pair of thinning shears. it's survived past cuttings.

this is your sister, by the way. i am just a simple caveman and have yet to figure out your new fangled live journal schtick. is that picture really of you? it looks like no bill i know. our computer is fixed so now i can look at your on-line stuff. you know, you can always come back to lincoln and go to the captain's chair... their ship is still afloat last i was downtown.
as far as your haircut is concerned, going to a stylist and telling them that you want something cool is a perfectly viable option; however, opinions on what is cool and what is not tend to differ so much that it's not worth the risk. you may end up with something shorter but equally as threatening to your job. kudos on the job. your a credit to the whole organization.

Is this picture better?

Hi, good friend. Glad you fixed your janky-ass computer. I think a 22-hour drive just for a haircut might be a little extraneous, but thanks for the suggestion. I believe Kally once said that for best results I should go into a place and ask for the gayest stylist on staff. They'll know what to do.

You should get a Live Journal of your own. I would come terrorize it every day. It would be great!

kudos on the job. your a credit to the whole organization.

Yeah, well, I am, aren't I?

[swallowwhole]

yes! start a livejournal of your very own!

When it comes to my hair, I've always taken really good care of it. I guess that has to do with my mom working for a hair care company all my life, so I know the difference between good and bad hair.
I just started going to a place called the Hair Peace. It's on Lomax next to Subway. You'll probably pay about 30 bucks, but hey, if you only get your hair cut from time to time, it's not really that much.
