The Things People Say to their Hairdressers

 You can tell that taking pictures of myself is not my favorite activity.

Upon seeing a photo of me and Angel inside my desk, a client getting a haircut asked "Is your husband Dutch? Oh, Mexican? Is he very jealous? No? That's good. Mexican men are usually jealous."

A mid-50s guy getting a buzz cut: "I always used to hate it when my Dad cut my hair this short--but of course, he wasn't pretty like you are!"

I told an man with white hair who was considering coloring his hair, "There's nothing wrong with white hair! It looks good on you! Of course, I wouldn't want it on myself...."
His response: "Ah! You're a silver-tongued devil, aren't you!"

An elderly lady's response to getting a pre-treatment before we permed her hair: "Oh, you have to do that because of all the drugs I take, right? Yep, I'm a druggie! I'm as high as a kite! heeheehee!"

On the 21st of December, a man walks in for a haircut, wearing a three-piece suit and tie. When asked where he was going that required such formal attire, he responded, "I decided to dress up for the Mayan apocalypse."

 Notice my clippers plugged in on the left side of my workstation. Apparently, on this day I was rebelling again unjust working conditions.

While I was cutting an elderly lady's hair, another client sat down in the chair next to where I was working, and started instructing his stylist, "Make sure you get the hair on my ears, and cut my eyebrows, and check my neckline really good..." and  on and on and on. So, what does my client say? "Well, my goodness, would you like a pedicure too?" I wanted to burst out laughing, but I managed to maintain a somewhat professional composure. "Some people," she continued, "are way too picky."

Gotta love it when a client starts saying the things that you're thinking, but are too polite to say.

And most recently, after I cut off a man's beard and he saw his whole face for the first time in thirty years, he grabbed me and kissed me on the cheek. That was very shocking, and I wouldn't normally condone such behavior in clients, but he also gave me a very good tip, so hey, I guess I can be bought.

And finally, there was also the lady who gave me advice/warnings for menopause.

I think this is a very good career for a blogger to have.
