Memoirs of a Barber-Stylist (Mature)
Come in. Have a seat. Come listen to my story. It's a bit upbeat. I cut and styled
hair for several years and some of the things that happened will make you laugh so hard, it'll
bring you to tears. Once there was a lady with very thick hair who wanted a razor cut to
kinda thin it out. The hair cut went well until just before I finished, then my razor slipped
and I cut out a big amount of hair. Of course I never told her you could see skin. I finished
the haircut and when it came time to show her the back of her hair in the mirror, I angled it
just enough to where she couldn't see the gap. Oh well, in my chair that's the chance you
took.
There was a man came in one day with a very nice mole on his neck. I worked all
around it and was very careful. I was almost finished cleaning up his neck with the clippers
and somehow the clipper slipped. All I can say is no extra for surgery!
A very young man who was the son of a man whom I went to church with came in one
day. He was one of God's special children and says things sometimes that just pop in his
mind. He talked about a lot of things while I cut his hair. Then out of the blue he
said, "P___y sure is good!" If I'd had false teeth they would have flown across the room. It
was such a shock! But instead I tried to act natural because he was such a kid. So I
answered and said, "Yes, it sure is!" and kept cutting. That was all he said and knowing him
and his family, I doubt he really knew.
A really frizzy haired young man came in one day and wanted a style. My mom just
happened to be there as my receptionist that day. She kind of eyed him when he came in
but didn't say anything. I cut his hair and took pains and pulled out all the frizz and he did
look rather nice. When he went to pay mom looked at him and said, "You look like an
entirely different person!" And of course the situation at the time, I was trying to build a
business and wanted to go through the floor.
Let me just tell you one more. Some of you ladies may have been cruel and done this
before. And men if your barber is a lady you probably have too If you place your hands
and fingers on the end of the arm, in strategic places as the barber works there, you may
get more than your money's worth! LOL. This has happened to me more than once. I could
feel their fingers flipping to feel me. And you know it's intentional because if you look in the
mirror, they will look in your eyes!
