hair bear

I'm in dire need of a haircut. Or at least a pair of thinning scissors. But of course I hate going to the hairdresser. I hate the whole boring, time wasting experience. And I hate paying a small fortune to get what I didn't want.

Then a friend said to me

Why don't you call Robin?

It seems Robin is a hairdresser who comes to your home. And she's cheap as chips because I don't have to pay for her electricity, her water rates, her superannuation or her stupid magazines. So I can pay her half the amount to get something I don't want in the comfort of my own home.

So she's coming in the morning. And as well as a haircut we're going to discuss a way to blend in my grey roots. Which are coming at an alarming rate. She's even allowed time in case I want a colour.

But then I had a thought. When you go to the hairdresser they put on the colour then leave you and go see to another client. But what does Robin do while my colour is on? Do I have to entertain her, or can I leave her in front of the television while I do other things?

Maybe I should wear my anti-socialite tshirt to make it clear to her how I feel about things. I'm the one on the right.

I'm thinking a fringe. Even though I always regret a fringe. But I'm feeling a strong urge for a thick fringe. And what the hell, it's only hair - it grows back.

Don't worry - I'm under no illusion that what I end up with will at all resemble the picture I have picked out.

Maybe she expects you to be all warm and fuzzy over a cup of coffee on the couch! Coming to the house is very common here - though I have not done it - but thinking about it now that I have to commute on the metro over an hour to get to my old one!

Girl,

DO THE FRINGE!!!! You would look awesome with one!

Do it, do it, do it!

I think you could just offer her a cup of coffee then do your own stuff. That's not rude.

Oh, and try the fringe!!

I hate making small talk with hair dressers - just cut me hair please. My current hair dresser actually stops cutting when she speaks so any conversation can extend the time if my hair cut to forever.

Here's to hair growing back!

Have a Happy Mother's Day!

how brilliant!
I wish there were someone near me who made hair housecalls...

I agree, a cup of java should suffice. Or, if you want to be doubly assured she'll leave you alone, give her lunch money. Or say you've got a million tasks to accomplish like readjusting the carburetor for starters or reroofing and will she kindly excuse you. I'm certain I could come up with a zillion other ways to get rid of someone if these don't suffice so just ask. And enjoy your new 'do! I see the fringe happenin' ...

I could put in my headphones - that usually stops conversation.

I'll see what she's like first.

Cat
I'm having visons of her being in her late fifties with a perm.
Cat

She looks scary - are you a smoker?

Cat
yes it's not like I'm cutting off an arm or leg.
Cat
lol - that would drive me insane. My last one used to have a very annoying habit - as soon as I'd arrive she'd say 'won't be a second', then go outside for a smoke. As if I had all day to sit around.
Cat

Maybe she'll go and do some shopping or something. I'm definitely feeling the fringe.

Cat

how come everyone who says do the fringe, doesn't have one themself? hmm

Cat
don't make me laugh - she'll be here at 10am - morning tea time.
Pat
Now those would be cool to grow back ;-)
Waterbaby
there ya go; excellent idea.

[this is good]

I wish I could carry a fringe! Ive tried it a few times and it really looks rank on me!

Cat
I get sick of them pretty quickly - I have a cowlick and a widows peak so they take a bit of work
