Before I went to this shop I read the blurb on their web site. Great promises. Well . . . the shop may have been established years ago, but I suspect that the ownership has changed hands.
I should have known not to expect a wonderful hair cut from a barber shop that also replaces watch batteries and buys gold.
Worst hair cut I have received since I was 17 (I do remember that one like it was yesterday and I'm now 71 years old) I don't have much to brag about in my old age, but God did bless me with an abundance of hair. I think the fellow that cut my hair was new, because he didn't seem to have much confidence in the way he plied his trade.
I explained that my barber of 15 years went to the great barber shop in the sky and I was looking for a new barber. I told him exactly how I needed to have my hair cut. He grunted and replied in monosyllables. I'm not really sure he understood my instructions as I think he had a bit of a problem with the English language. He actually cut my hair twice - wrong both times.
Even though I have to wait three months for my hair to (almost) grow out, I felt a bit sorry for the barber. I actually left him a tip, because he tried his best. However, he is in over his head (no pun intended). I told him he gave me a bad haircut (a few times as I remember). He and the owner had a conversation about the job, but I didn't understand a word of it as it was in a foreign language. Voices were raised.
There is nothing I can do but laugh at my modified buzz cut. It actually is a bit hilarious . . .
