hair-razing affair

i just got my very first ever "more than $10" haircut. downstairs there's a salon place, and i figured for sure they could not possibly screw up my hair. usually i go for the $10 cut, because well, who cares about hair right? but usually those things take about 2 weeks before you start looking normal again, because they don't know what the heck they're doing. so anyway, today i went to the salon place. it was $26+tax, so that was pretty expensive.

i can certainly see the difference though. at this place, he asked me what i wanted and i said 'what do you think?', and he said, (and i quote) "your look isn't really doing anything for you". Haha. so i told him to just do what he thinks would look good for me. i think it looks alright.. plus he took a lot more time making sure no extra strands of hair missed getting cut. i liked that close attention to detail. too many times i walk out of a $10 cut, come home, wash my hair, and when it's all dry, i find out they missed a whole patch. that really sucks.

also, when i go in there for the $10, they have no clue what i want or should have. i remember the last time i went to "first cuts", the lady asked me what number (for the buzz cut machine adapter size). duh.. who remembers that?
