the cut prediction

i got my hair cut last week.

that's a significant statement. i got my hair cut.

you see, back in 1995 a number of things happened and i decided the hell with hair stylists and started cutting my own hair. no, i have not had any training, but how hard could it be? seeing as how i just cut it the same length all over, it wasn't that hard, but after 16 years of holding my arms up for an hour and trying to see the back and sides and getting everything all even and stuff, i just said oh hell.

there's a gal in town who has a place by herself and i know someone at work who goes to her to get her hair colored. and she likes her, so i figured i didn't have anything to lose. so i went and she spent an hour cutting my short hair and that was about the amount of time i used to spend when a really good person was working on my hair. i mean, i had someone in a fancy salon one time cut it and it took half an hour and it was a lousy cut. i figure if they spend an hour, they're trying to make it good.

at any rate, she did a very good job and didn't try to sell me 'product' and even though i don't style it the way she blow-dried it, i am very satisfied with the cut. and that's how i figure i'm going to know i got the l.a. job. you find something you like, you lose it or it gets taken away. simple.
