| - I'm a minimalist and a frugal SOB, so going to a stylist instead of my $10-$15 barber is outside my norm. I don't wear jewelry (anymore) and the stylizing of strands of dead skin cells on my head seems silly and vain.
Right now, you are thinking, "I thought this was a review for Michelle King, but this guy is just talking about is own oddball issues... what the hell?"
Stick with me. Anyway, I'll admit that a previous reviewer's comment that she "Specializes in short haircuts for women!!!" got me interested. I didn't test the waters with her because I wanted to look like a woman or a lesbian. Is that not PC or stereotyping? If so, my bad. Though, I did have shoulder-length hair in college (yes, it made me look even more horse-faced) and there have been a few peeps have been "unsure" about me, I figured she'd do whatever she could to make my thinning hair look like what my lady might enjoy.
Michelle was great and not expensive (I'm guessing she might be someday). She took her time, got the lines right and I think she did great. But then what do I know.... I literally don't style my hair at all. I comb it wet and let it dry. No product and I only blow-dry it if I am cold in the morning. If I were into the style thing and hour-long sessions, she'd get 5-stars, but I'm one of those barber-bags. I've been to Michelle twice when I can and in town, and I will contiune to do so. She's fun to talk with and a nice deviation from the phone and monkey-jabbin my keyboard for work emails. Oh yeah, the shampoo and stuff is rockin. I requested 5 minute nappy-time and a drool cloth on my next visit. I might bring a beer with me too. That would be perfect!
Man, I hope she is alright with my review. And I also hope my barber-friend doesn't find out. I still like visiting and philosophizing with my fuzzy little foreigner. I'm torn.
