| - What can I say, I have stupid hair. It's rough, stiff, and I have about 3 cow-licks that has given me the nickname, "the great horned owl." I have resorted to wearing beanies a lot of the time to just keep it down. I use 10/10 strength wax. Hair salons often enjoy telling me "your hair hurts my fingers," or "it doesn't like to behave." They sometimes rush through the cut to end their suffering and I end up with a sloppy result. I've even received offers to come to a beauty school as an example for budding hair stylists to practice. Can't tell if I should've taken that as a compliment...
Anyways, I've been going around different hair salons in Pittsburgh and found some good people, but since they work at Supercuts, which is a chain, their hours were unpredictable and I would have to sometimes settle for someone else who didn't know how to deal with my hair.
So comes this place. They know how to deal with my hair. I got the haircut I wanted. Often times, as people are cutting my hair, my cowlicks realize there's now less weight and start sticking up straight. Then the person freaks out thinking they made some mistake and ends up chasing it until I get this weird patch on my head. This guy knew what he was doing, put some water in my hair, and let it calm down. He was also very careful and detailed. I appreciate that he took his time. He also gave me some pointers for my hair, which is nice.
All that and it was still the cheapest and one of the best haircuts I got in Pittsburgh.
