errors in communication between my hairdresser and me in the form of what i said and what he heard
by jez burrows
said: just a little off the length, adn a little thinned out.
heard: could you make me look like a clown’s apprentice?
said: a little shorter, thanks.
heard: i want the style that would emerge if you combined all three of charlie’s angels.
said: just the usual — little shorter and thinner.
heard: you know when you have a bubble bath and you shape the bubbles all around your head? i want it like that.
said: if you could take some of the width off, that’d be great.
heard: if you could make it hard for me to appear in public, that’d be great.
said: of course it isn’t okay — you’ve disfigured me beyond repair. i look like a mushroom.
heard: that’s perfect. take my money.
Yeah, I just shave it every 6 months and grow it back out because my one barber that understood retired 3 years ago and I have given up….I like it.
Marko – I know you like to keep your look “fresh” and unique, but I’m wondering if maybe you are closer to those quotes than you would like to admit… :P
I just want to know which quote is from your latest trend?! I’m guessing it is not the “bubbles” type, eh?
Mark-
I think a post like this one needs some follow up with….well pictures!

Oh my, this had me doubled over in laughter. I think it’s because for too long I got my haircut at fatastic sams and great clips.
After my last haircut I can certainly relate to this blog. I’ve never worn a hat as often! Thanks for the timely humor and I appreciate what you bring to the table.
