I gave up doing haircuts for hubby, even though its just trimmers.

My daughter too hated getting her hair cut by anyone other than me until about a year ago. To the General I say... glad you don't look like the Bieber.... yuck.....<br /><br />Kathleen, I have 'difficult' hair too and it took me years to find someone who could cut it well. I have thick, very wavy hair which corkscrews at times. When its damp I look like a poodle LOL.Marlishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17207863698433956073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136688967715659383.post-20616905278709393992011-02-19T18:45:59.887-06:002011-02-19T18:45:59.887-06:00I meant to say "I'm NOT cutting down...&q...I meant to say "I'm NOT cutting down...".

I went to one of these assembly line type hair places (and I'm cutting (ahem) down those types of places - they work fine for many, but my hair is very thick, and they don't usually know what to do with it at these places). The lady gave me a great hack job. So...2 hours later I went to a more fru-fru place. In short (ahem, again!), I got the world's most expensive haircut(s).<br /><br />Your little Captain is too cute - that would sure earn some brownie points in this house too!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808679812939188136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136688967715659383.post-30892886359978064912011-02-19T10:18:54.999-06:002011-02-19T10:18:54.999-06:00In my defense, the General refuses to go to any ot...In my defense, the General refuses to go to any other place to get his hair cut. The last time I spent $30 to have his hair cut we came home and he asked me to "fix" it. Apparently it looked too much like Justin Beiber's hair.<br /><br />I think my big error with this cut wasn't that I did it, it's that I did it after taking a pain killer and was a little loopy. That's the lesson I'm taking away, anyhow.<br /><br />And, after I was able to thin out one side just a little more, it turned out to be a pretty descent haricut. No, there were no bald spots. That's what those English geeks like Arby call "hyperbole."The Bossnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136688967715659383.post-86148874004151476842011-02-19T08:58:34.998-06:002011-02-19T08:58:34.998-06:00Ohhh, my mother did that to me when I was about 5 ...Ohhh, my mother did that to me when I was about 5 years old. My perfectionist, ocd mom kept trying to 'even' out my bangs until they were toothbrush stubble size. I cut Missy's hair for years (just a bob when she was little and a simple bangs and medium length hair later) and my dh's hair (with an electric trimmer) before he biffed it off. Back in boarding school I cut my fellow students' hair. I was good at it and had girls come to me for years. Even though it was an illicit activity (with good reason), the headmistress sent a student to me for a hair cut LOL. I won't cut my son's hair. Boy hair cuts can be harder to do with all the layers and cowlicks. Tell the Boss not to beat herself up about it, it'll outgrow in a few weeks! And if she does it again to remember that hair moves around and slight irregularities won't be noticed. Or better yet, take them to an inexpensive place that does frequent customer cards (you know, pay for 12 get the 13th free).Marlishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17207863698433956073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4136688967715659383.post-33873636128050250362011-02-19T05:51:09.352-06:002011-02-19T05:51:09.352-06:00Would have love to have seen "before" an...Would have love to have seen "before" and "after" shots!
