Errands and shorter hair.

[kyrielle]

I ran errands today, which is to say I got the foodstuffs I didn't get at Costco (sorry, don't need that much milk, folks), and had the car's oil changed (surprisingly, they were actually able to get to my car within 15 minutes, which is a record as far as my experience of showing up on a Saturday afternoon), and got my hair cut.

Trimmed, of course. Nothing more. I can't sit on it right now, though. One of the things that had been irritating me is that the last idiot decided to cut it so it would hang straight if falling vertically from where it occurred. That's great for folks with hair above (or at) the shoulders, but when it reaches your butt, you wear it back or forward, not spread. And she'd done that despite my instructions to the contrary.

This one didn't. It's cut straight across the back. She was fun to chat with, and I got compliments from her and others there on my hair (she said it was the longest she'd gotten to work with). Much to the amusement of the other patrons, she cut my hair with me standing and her seated in the chair usually used for the person getting their hair cut.

It probably was amusing, but it was no surprise to me. When your hair goes past about mid-back, they don't have much choice in the matter, because they haven't a prayer of cutting it while you're seated - and if she hadn't sat down, she'd've had to kneel, to work with it.

But, oh heck, it was still funny.

I always wondered how people with hair as long as yours went about getting it cut. Glad you got someone to listen this time!

See, I've got it better :)

Whenever my hair reaches a length that'd warrant the purchase of a comb, I have it cut. :)
