haircut

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. I finally got my hair cut.

you may have noticed that my hair has been the longest it's been in, well.... at least 12 years. Back then, when it was long, it was also big, huge, and PERMED! aak!

here's the story (because there's always a story): My former tenant was also my hairdresser. As a hairdresser, I really liked him; he consistently gave me a good cut, he was very nice. As a tenant, it turned out he wasn't good at all: consistently late with his rent, problematic, and noisy. I was so frustrated as his landlord, that I just couldn't bring myself in to see him to cut my hair.

I only had my hair cut twice during that time - and both times he was up-to-date in paying me :) Once was in April, the last time was in October.

Needless to say, my hair grew very, very long. I actually forgot how quickly it grows. I guess the good news is that he had given me such a good haircut that it grew out really well.

My tenant has since moved out, (he gave notice in January) and moved to a different hair salon. Lucky for me, because now I'm in my old neighborhood, and I really liked going to that salon. So I walked in this morning, and signed up with a new hairdresser. He was great - gave me a good cut, and seemed to be very nice. He took about 4 inches off the length. My hair is so thick, that the extra length makes it very heavy. It feels really good!

I'll try to post some pictures soon of my hair styles at different stages over the past year. It should be pretty funny, now that you know the story.
