Hi Elizabeth, and welcome to the forum.
Today, I decided that I needed a haircut. My hair was fairly long, and almost going in my eyes. I guess you'd call it a "shag top" or "mop top". I never really style my hair, other than giving it a good ol' rubdown with a towel when I get out of the shower. For example:
So in my process of deciding on where to get my hairs cut, I came across this new barber shop that had just opened. I decided to give them a shot, figuring they probably had a good price... and they did. The hair stylist sat me down, and asked how I'd like my hair cut. I told her that I'd like it cut short, so that I might actually look somewhat professional.
Over the course of the next 30 minutes, the barber did indeed cut my hair. As a matter of fact, she cut far too much of my hair off. She also nicked my ear, and didn't even acknowledge it. I asked her if she's having any "new business jitters" quite politely as I could tell she was a bit nervous...
She said "Well, you're really my 3rd client. I haven't gone to beauticians school, and I've only cut the hair of family members. I'm trying to learn as I go, and not charge that much since I still don't know how to cut hair".
Well as it turns out. Now I have a bad haircut, bloody ear, and I'm out 20 bucks. I have a feeling that's how a lot of her clients will feel.
