Wink Cutting hair....

I am not a barber, a stylist, etc. I am legally blind in one eye. Would you trust me to cut your hair? Seriously?

My ex used to have me trim her hair. She'd sometimes even try to do it herself, then hop into the shower with a pair of scissors and ask me to 'fix it". Soap in my eyes, knowing better than "Hey-- a good looking woman just climbed naked into the shower with me... Annnnnddddd she wants ONLY for me to trim her hair. Um, ok." Let me finish my shower first, but ok.

Today, a friend came to me because a "Cosmetology student" / friend did a hack-job on the back, and she asked me to fix it because my ex told her I could.

Never ask me for more than a trim. I'm simply not skilled enough. But I did trim her hair, even things up. With my vision limited, I have a stronger sense of touch. She paid me a huge compliment afterwards though: "<ex's name> was right-- you got it. It's perfect."

Now if my own hair were as easy to do. Where's a great barber when ya need one?
