Basically the stuff on here will be the same no matter where I am. Ramblings and rantings about stuff, some from Canada.Some of them really do say 'eh' ~~~~~ "ascertaining the comprehension, continued interest, agreement, etc., of the person or persons addressed"

hair trigger

Remember ages ago I posted about getting my hair cut ?
Somehow I forgot the trauma and made the same mistake again.
Actually, to be fair the cut may not be too bad as I wasn't worried until he was blow drying it.
He did put some crap, sorry 'product', on it before cutting it though.

Then the drier came out.
He put some crap, sorry, 'product' on it and dried it some more.

Even then I thought, well he's probably going to straighten it after he's finished drying it.

No.

He dried it into a wavy, frizzy lump.
Then he put more crap, really, MORE, crap in it.
I kept thinking 'its not finished is it?'

No, it wasn't over.

He then started telling me how I could "bring out my natural curl myself at home"
Oh, for the love of all things holy. I don't have a natural curl. It's called messy. A bit wavy.
I tried telling him that it wasn't a natural curl it just looks like it wasn't been brushed. For weeks. I was too stunned.

I had planned to do a few things on my way back from the hairdressers, but when I got outside and tried to run my fingers through my 'hair' I thought, well, use your imagination.

My hair felt, looked AND smelt like candy floss.
Have you ever had a toffee stuck in your hair? (don't ask), well this was like an explosion in a sugar factory.



I went straight home, first attempting to scrape the fuzz into a pony tail.

Not even stopping long enough to take my jacket off I stuck my head under the shower and washed the four different types of crap out.
Then I tied it back up in a pony tail and that's the way it's going to stay.

I AM NEVER GETTING MY HAIR CUT AGAIN.

Ever.

I'll be like this guy .

That hair looks heavy. Not like candy-floss at all. Think yourself lucky. I like to get the gayest hairdresser possible to play with my frizzy, dry, tangly barnet and talk about zig-zag partings. Its not difficult for any hardresser to have more enthusiasm for my hair than I do but under that shocking 100 watt lightbulb that shows me how tired and baggy-eyed I am, I can't wait for them to actually do something.

'what would like done?'
'just cut the f@+ker!'

My fellow hoser. I have a rule when I go see the hairdresser. Wash cut and then step back from my head. I usually go home and wash my hair again just in case they managed to sneak a little of their 'prod-yucks' in during the rinse cycle. It always feels better after and most likely looks better as well.

I hear it's getting cold up there. My sister in Kitchener said they already have snow on the ground. Remember the golden rule: Don't eat yellow snow!
Cheers,
Jacqui

Try Iranian Shawn at Nino d'Areno in the lowest floor of the Eaton Centre. He's trustworthy, but about $50. But I don't get my hair cut that often.

thanks Sandra.
$50 seems to be the going rate, it would half that if they didn't use all the prod-yuck.
or maybe its double to avoid the gunk.
