See? My haircut is short on one side, long on the other. It’s like a lateral mullet.
"What the...?"
This super cut for the blind (with highlight) cost me $145 with tip. That’s money I could have put toward my own facial wax machine.
But there is an upside to this experience. Blogging about it pretty much prohibits me from setting foot in that particular salon ever again. Sordid salon gossip and all. But I’m actually okay with this. Otherwise, knowing me, I might hallucinate again and wander in next month for another haircut, operating under the illusion, “how bad could they mess it up this time?” I have a history of doing that.
(In case you’re wondering why the tank top in December….I’m in Naples, Florida for the weekend where it’s 80 degrees outside and there’s fresh seafood and grapefruit aplenty. And probably lots of super stylists.)

wth how does that even happen. You should take it back.
I would if I lived in the city, but here in a small town complaining at a salon creates a serious episode of gossip.
Something I have always wondered…why is it that a womans hair cost more to cut than a mans. Same with clothes. I worked in a Dillards in West Texas and womens clothing was outragously priced. Back to the hair thing….is it that ladies have so much “more” done to their hair? I have almost waist length hair and if I wanted a “cut” I doubt it would be anywhere near what a woman would pay. Enlighten me please.
Jim: It’s because women are ensnared in the beauty net, and men aren’t! Women care too much about how they look, and dudes (some of them anyway) care too little. Otherwise, how to explain the high preponderance of men who wear white gym socks with “sport sandals?”
$145 for a haircut? they better be weaving in 20 dollar bills into my hair for that.
Aimee, I wish!
How in the world did they let you get out the door like that? Did no one notice? I’d find somewhere else and never look back.
The error was hidden because of the blow-out. You know how stylists always have to craft your hair after the cut? That’s what mine did, complete with hairspray and gel. So my hair looked pretty much normal — windswept country housewife normal, that is — when I left the salon. It was only after I washed my hair and let it air dry like I normally do that I noticed how messed up it was.
“It’s like a lateral mullet”. Excellent. All business on the left, all party on the right.
Best not go there again.
LMAO…………I get yer drift!
nice excuse to put a picture of your boobs up. you’re so transparent, knadler.
Paula: They’re real and they’re spectacular. JK
Thanks for the great laugh. It took me back to 7th grade when I got my hair cut that way…on purpose. It totally went with my red Michael Jackson double-belt.
Jeannie: Are you Jeannie Idaho, my Rattlesnake friend from 7th grade???? I seem to recall that ‘do of yours. It was very cutting edge. Very 99 Luftballons. You rocked it!! Though I don’t remember the Michael Jackson double-belt of yours. Email me a pic. JK
Yes, it’s me. Alas, there are no pictures or remnants left of the red belt, but I do have a pic I’ve been dying to post on Facebook. It’s a polaroid of you jammin’ out on the organ at Tracy (Leigh) Michaelson’s house in 7th grade. All I need to do is scan it in, so watch out! By the way, so happy about your pregnancy – congratulations!
