In grade twelve I had decided to cut all my hair off, and went to a stylist that my friend had recommended. I really liked both, what he did with my hair and him, so I always went back. But within time he seemed to feel the need to experiment on my poor head and always sent me off looking like some sort of circus-rejected clown, but since it was never the cut itself that was bad, but rather just the way he styled it, I continued to go back. Then one day I went in to get the ends cut off because my dark brown roots were starting to look pretty ridiculous pushing out my bleached ends.
So, he got to work snipping away at my head when he got a “great idea”. He ended up cutting the hair on the bottom half of my head so short that when I ran my hand up my neck, I couldn’t even tell where the hair started. Then, just to make me look like a complete idiot, he left my hair blond on top. There was absolutely no fade involved in this, at all. Just BROWN Kablam! BLOND! Like someone drew a damn line around my head. Then, just to make it all the more horrific for me, he put this black licorice scented goop on my head to get the hideous part way hell on the right side of my head, to stay. And I HATE BLACK LICORICE.
After the tragedy I was supposed to take the bus home, but was too embarassed to have anyone see it that didn’t need to, so I called my dad instead. After I demanded he come pick me up, he asked, “what’s wrong?” my response: “my fucking hair!” And I’m sure you’ve all realized how little I swear, so you can imagine what a surprise this was to my dad.
Then, while waiting for him to come, I was becoming increasingly angry at the disaster on my head. And it got to the point that I became one of those people that walk around swearing to themselves and pulling at their hair.
Then, just to make it all better, the first thing my manager did when he saw me in my little green dress and munster hair, was call me a “Lesbian Skittle”
What a day.
