A Cutting Post
Filed under: Vexed - February 8, 2008 @ 6:00 am
My sister just graduated from beauty school (not the one who’s a librarian for fucks sake, but the one who looks like a teen pop star - platinum hair, tan, pink eyeshadow, belly ring, Pink Floyd tramp stamp).
I hope to god she doesn’t go work in one of those Great Clips joints found in a depressing strip mall. They should call that place Hate Clips, cuz instead of hate fucking you, those women in there hate cut you. They like to take their frustration at having a mediocre life out on you. They give you hair herpes.
And what’s with their own ugly hairstyles - teased bangs? Awful purplish red tint? Bleach? It’s like going to a gynecologist who has one of her ovaries hanging out of her vagina.
Call me a snob, but I don’t let people named Tammy or Amber cut my hair. What do I do? I get my hair cut every three years by a flaming homosexual named John at one of those hip salons. I’m due this year, only I’m not going to even bother with that. I’m just going to shave it off. The Locks of Love people will be delighted.
PS: Do you have to be mentally ill or balding in order to shave your head? I don’t want to break any rules here. Ha ha.

Rational people decide go bald too.
I’m not going to clutter up you comments with “link bait” so check your email for details.

I used to get my hair cut by a “Tammy”, but it was out of a hair salon in her basement in this subdivision in Jefferson County, MO.
Then I got my hair cut by a flaming homosexual who gave me the best hair cut of my life and then up and moved to Boston, taking his salon with him. Shan, I miss the way you used to make love to my hair.

I don’t think you have to be going bald or crazy, but let me tell you a story. My good friend/brother and I were sharing an apartment and his uber-cute little Irish girlfriend at the time decided to cut her hair off. All of it. She knew I had a little thing for bald/shaved noggin’ girls and asked me to shave her head for her. Off, let me tell you, it was a dream and a nightmare. Having your brother’s gall kneel in front of you in the bathroom and then turn around and bend over the sink with only a bra and track pants…. it was a long night. That being said, get your shave on, and if you need someone to run the clippers, let me know. *wink*

I just have to say, I’m a crazy queer chick with a Chelsea cut 18 piercings and 5 tattoos. I happen to be a hair stylist. I you want a fun cut come on up to NY!
But I’ve gone bald once before. It was fun!

FYI- if you’re serious about donating your hair, you might want to do some research about Locks of Love, because they’re not a charity. When they say they “make wigs available for kids with cancer,” they mean they sell overpriced wigs to sick kids. Pantene’s hair donation charity is a much better choice.

tanstaafl4y - wow, thanks for sharing…
Ziz - ya you know what I’m talkin’ about.
Stone - um, hot story! It was sweet torture, I’m sure.
Dorkiewitch - yep, you sound hot. So cool that you took it all off - I haven’t ever and I want to experience it, even tho I’m such a slave to my braids.
Laura - really? The link in my post goes right to their mission and it says they are a non-profit charity. I guess I should dig around and get more info.

My cousin’s ex boyfriend once had a cut at “great clips”. The hairdresser cut off part of his ear. AND they made him pay for the cut… I’ve done Locks for Love twice. I’m going to be really pissed if they are for-profit…
