cblj_backupI have finally had my hair cut. I feel like I can think clearly again. I know this is entirely stupid, and that hair has no effect on cognitive processes, but it was weighing my brain down!
I always seem to get the same woman when I go for my haircut -- I'm not sure if it's just happenstance or if she likes me or what, but I think she's been my semi-default haircutter for almost two years. (I go to the Fanciest Supercuts Ever, just north of the loop; I didn't know Supercuts could be that swanky.) Anyway, she speaks very little English and I speak no Portuguese at all, which normally might be an issue except that she is really good at what she does. She always gives me a good haircut and it's always slightly different from the last time, so I've reached a point where I just wave at my hair and mumble vaguely about "quite short please" and then I close my eyes.
Do people do this, by the way? Close their eyes when they get their hair cut? I do. It seems like it would be less stressful on her if I'm not watching her cut my hair the whole time. And actually the language barrier is a bonus, because this way we don't even try to make awkward conversation.
Anyway, I close my eyes and she does some kind of arcane magic and when I open my eyes I have good hair. So I tip well and we both go away happy.
