In hopes of meeting my 1 post a week goal, I have been racking my brain the past few days trying to think of what to write about because it has just been a very shool-oriented week. Well, today I got an answer to my wish for an interesting story...just in time!
I found a coupon in this PLANET COUPON book the other day for a $12 haircut at a salon right off of campus. Perfect! I thought. I can go get my haircut right after or before class one day and won't have to worry about parking and what not. So, I called to make the appointment on Monday and talked to the Indian guy - whose name I missed - and confirmed the appointment would be for a "wetcut" as the coupon read. So I packed my hairdryer with me (to dry my hair in the bathroom on campus before heading to class) and headed off to the place, HAIR VISIONS, which is a vision in itself, and not particularly one you want to see as you are going to get your haircut.
Alas, I convinced myself it was worth it for $12 bucks! I was surprised that my Indian fellow from the phone turned out to be from Singapore (i think) and his name was Nathan! Nathan, really?!

Alas, I convinced myself it was worth it for $12 bucks! I was surprised that my Indian fellow from the phone turned out to be from Singapore (i think) and his name was Nathan! Nathan, really?! So I sit down and show Nathan a picture of what I'm looking to get done, and he gets right to work....without shampooing my hair first. Now - maybe I am just not in the "hair" loop, but I thought wet cut meant: cut wet hair, as in wash hair, cut hair - leave (no drying or styling - hence why I brought along my own hairdryer to school). WRONG!!! For all of you who are also unfamiliar with the term "wet cut" - allow me to enlighten you. It means they dip their comb in some water, comb your hair, then cut it. So, as Nathan chopped away at my not-so-wet, greasy, not-washed-in-2-days hair rambling on about how Baton Rouge is like the country compared to Singapore and how everyone "snips" these days (as I nod my head and make scissors with my hands as to gesture someone snipping off some bangs, he says, "no, sniffs"- haha!) I am wondering how I am going to avoid walking into class with a cute new do with nasty, greasy hair.
When he is done, I am actually quite satisfied with his work and my $12 haircut! So, I rush out to determine my next move....I call Sarah who lives a block away - no answer. Bummer! I call Amy...she won't judge me for my insane cheapness - she's about to leave. Double Bummer!! What to do? What to do?.... Well, I'll tell you what I did. I went to the dollar store, picked up a $1 bottle of shampooo, drove myself to the church on campus and washed my hair in the sink! Finally, I was able to look decent with my new haircut!! Although, I didn't have a straightener, so my bangs were half-kinked at the top and I had some serious fizz action going on, but at least it was clean! And all was well : )
Next week, maybe I'll wish to be able to write something "interesting" about Adam - haha.
