Bang Trim = Rocket Science
I NEVER go anywhere to get my hair cut that has a sign in sheet or has multiple locations in strip malls. But today I desperately needed a bang trim. I should have remembered Marcus' experience at Great Clips. He went in for a simple trim and the woman spoke such little English that a co-worker-slash-translator had to come over and help her understand what Marcus was asking for. He ended up with the straightest bang trim I'd ever seen - all his hair combed forward and cut straight across his eyebrow line. He was mortified! I thought it would be super convenient to go right next door to eDrop today and get a quick bang trim. Unfortunately - the luck of the draw gave me a woman who also spoke very little English. I kept telling her I just wanted a TINY amount cut off. It must have been the word "texture" that confused her. Maybe texture sounds like "cut all my bangs off" in her original language.

That reminds me of the time I tried to cut my own bangs. I was probably about 14, and I didn't realize that you CANNOT LOOK DOWN whilst attempting this. To say that my bangs were an inch long would be too generous. I think they were about 1/2 inch long. I was so embarrassed I put on a cloth headband to hide it until my mom got home from work. When I went to dinner, my sister said, "Nice, Marcia Brady!". When my mom got home she had to bring more hair from behind to make more bangs. Those were the days of the "bush" bangs - you know where you curled them into a nice, pretty bush? When the under layer grew out I had the biggest "bush" you ever saw!! The worst part was, I grew out the top layer, then decided in college to grow out the other one. I had to go through the "growing out bangs" stage twice!! I should have known better - it was always a disaster when I tried to cut my Barbie's hair. That incident has cemented my position of "Ultimate Dork". Needless to say, I'm not going ANYWHERE near Audrey's bangs...
ReplyDeleteTracy! I almost asked you where Jessica was working! Maybe I'll try some of Blake's Minoxidil! Ha!
ReplyDeleteJennifer - I once trimmed my brother's hair and accidentally put the clippers on the wrong setting. When I was finished he calmly said, "I look like the poster child for the Don't Let Your Sister Cut Your Hair Club." And he's never asked me to cut it again since. I won't be going near Mason's hair either!
