My Hair (Rant)

[Radbird]

I got a haircut this weekend. The usual - short on the sides and back, a little longer on top. Trim the beard. She was just about done when she noticed a wild hair on top. So she took the clippers and trimmed it. Only she forgot that the beard trimming attachment (a #2) was still on instead of the one for the top of my head (a #6). Oops. No charge.

I now have a crew cut for the first time since 4th grade.

Shorter than this?

Shorter than this?

A beard trimmer would be WAY shorter than that. I'm thinking its about a 2 guard which is about a 1/4 inch.

[Radbird]

Yeah, way shorter than that. Think basic training. Here's the closest pic I could find:

I would've punched her.

I would've punched her.

I would have but she was almost in tears...

With your new supersonic eyesight and crew cut buzz, you could be the Terminator, Rad.

I'm very, very specific and I make sure the stylist knows exactly what I mean ever since this one incident back when I was 14 where I told the stylist I wanted "A 4-guard on the sides and the back". Unfortunately, she didn't hear the "Sides and the Back" part. Long story short, with a crew-cut, I looked like Eddie Muenster. I don't think I've been too much more embarassed in my life than that.

AND the b#tch still charged me! I never went to Supercuts ever again after that.

They still charged you? That's stupendously crappy customer service.

My father-in-law used to say the difference between a good haircut and a bad one was 7 days. Seems yours may be a little bit longer than that.
