I was waiting in line to place an order from a hotdog vendor inside the mall which was right near one of those snip shops when I overheard a conversation between some poor young guy getting the clippers taken to his head , his girlfriend, and the woman with the clippers aka "stylist" who seemed to be enjoying taking all of that hair off. it seemed like she might be a sadistic person by nature.
the guy was in his low to mid 20's and his ditsy girlfriend must have been around the same age.
she talked loud enough that you could hear her clear across the other side of the mall
"I kept telling him he should get it cut!" the ditsy girl said
the poor guy obviously was not willing to stand his ground and had given in to his girlfriend and responded with
"yeah, she's been on me to get a haircut for months" while laughing about it.
I thought what a wimp!
it did not take long for the clippers to take what was left of his hair off before I heard his ditsy girlfriend proclaim
"Now he looks 'kewl' and has some style!"
What style?!!! she was really whacked out in the head for calling that a "Style".
he hardly had any hair left!! it must have been somewhere between a 1/4" and 1/2" of hair on his head, but what was on the floor below his chair was probably at least four times that!
then the "stylist" proceeded how he could style it which did not make sense since he practically had a buzzcut.
I felt like throwing up at that point.
I proceeded to pay for my hotdog and walked as fast and far away from that horrible place as I could vowing NEVER to go there for even a slight trim!
Whether it be due to being under the thumb of a control freak or just blamed laziness. Shorn heads will unfortunately be around. I agree that a shaved head is not the ideal. However we can no more force anyone to leave their hair uncut if they neither desire nor understand why as it would be to have someone force us to cut our hair. I see some guys who would look quite handsome with hair but instead, they look as if they have no cajone's and are whipped in some manner whether through peer pressure, "fashion" their GF or BF, etc. Some folks just can't be saved.
I hate buzzcuts but can tolerate any HAIR style. No doubt their are peopl who feel the same about long hair - the're just wrong, that's all!
Reminds me of my idiotic friends. Every time some of them see me they say "Hey Isaac you need a shave and a cut". Always surprised me since I look damn good with my medium/longish hair and my short beard.... I get looks from girls that they never would, yet i HAVE to conform because my look isn't the standard. Shit like that just pisses me off. I'd dump a girl like that in a heartbeat . I'll take my hair/beard over a chick any day.
