haircut woes
What does it take to get a decent haircut in this city????
I looked like a shaggy dog. I got out of the shower this morning, and thought, in a moment of rashness, "i'll just go to Supercuts. It's the cheapest. I'll take a picture. It's a simple, straightforward haircut."
Supercuts is for the dogs. I know I've said it before, but this time, I mean it--I'm never going back there. When I came in, I was the only customer. There was a receptionist and two hair cutters waiting for business. One took me right away. The throw she put on me still had hair from the previous customer. I showed her my picture. Simple, straightforward. Short, but long enough to push back behind my ears. She gave me bangs. I couldn't believe it! Was she blind??? There were no bangs in the picture. How disgruntling.
What is it about a haircut that you have to spend a fortune to get a decent one!?!? Every time I get a haircut I lament about this. Last month I went back to even trying to cut it myself. I should've just done that this morning.
So that was my brief morning expedition. I'm home now coughing my brains out still.

Some words pertaining to haircuts from the premier philosopher of the twentieth century, Mr. Ray-mond Stevens:
"When you get a haircut, you better go back home. When you get a haircut, get a barber you have known, since you were a little bitty boy sitting in a booster chair; cause you might look like Larry, Moe, or Curly if a stranger cuts your hair!"
LOL!

That's funny. Especially since it doesn't look vaguely reminiscent of a "stooge" cut. Maybe after I wash it and style it.... :-P

Jeanette, I have been wearing my hair short for going on seven years now, and I have come to the conclusion that while anyone can trim up a long-ish hairstyle, not just anyone can do a short hair cut without making me look like an eight year old boy who got a Flowbee haircut. It's been a painful lesson, and the result of many hat-worthy trips to the salon. I've had the best luck by waiting until I see a woman with a good short haircut, and then, even if I don't know this person, going up and asking her who cuts her hair. It's disconcerting, but it works. In the meantime, I hope the hairdo really does look better upon washing and styling.

Yes, that's good advice. I'll try it with the college crowd, since I can't compete with the haircut budget of these uptowners.
Yes, Stooge, Beatle, or little boy were the images that flashed into my head while the lady was hacking my hair.

Sorry to hear about the bad haircut. About six years ago I went into a Supercuts to get my bangs trimmed and came out with a haircut that would have fit in at basic training. It tooks 3 months before it even got long enough to look like a cute, pixie haircut! Since then I've refused to step foot in a Supercuts. I'll admit that my hair is my greatest vanity so I'm willing to pay to get a good haircut.

I got the best haircut ever at the MasterCuts in the Prince Kuhio Plaza in Hilo, Hawaii. It was wonderful.
But it grew out and I can't find a good haircutter. Anyone know about the Central Pennsylvania hairdresser possibilities? Help me please.
