My haircut experience

Ever since I got home from my mission to Brasil I have cut my own hair. I started doing it because I had a really bad haircut right before an important date and the stylist did a terrible job. Ever since I vowed to always cut my hair. The first couple of episodes were pretty terrible but if you do something long enough you eventually get good at it.

So five years later of cutting my own hair I received a free gift certificate for a hair cut at Sport Clips. This was a little over a week ago. The girl is cutting my hair and we are talking about absolutely nothing (I feel awkward if I don't talk to someone cutting my hair.) She then asks "So who cut your hair last?" I know exactly where she is going.

A barber never says, "whoever cut your hair last did a great job." She was asking because it obviously sucked. So then I backed out like a wimp and answered "um, my friends sister cut it." Silence was all that followed. She said nothing and kept cutting for a bit. Then she asked if she was licensed. To which I answered "No she isn't. I was hanging over at their house and we were bored and there was a pair of scissors." I was trying to make a joke but she didn't even smile. I felt like an idiot.

So apparently I suck at cutting my own hair.

Haha! That’s a funny story! I admire your bravery and effort to cut your own hair. But if you want to have a beautiful hairstyle with you still cutting it, you can enroll in a cosmetology school. In that way, you can learn how to trim your own hair like a pro. If you become an expert, you can even make it a part-time job. That won’t just let you save some cash, but earn a few as well. Win-win solution, right?
