So You Had A Bad Hair Cut.

So The Boy was in dire need of a haircut. He looked incredibly shaggy and I could stand it no longer. Since every third haircut at our usual spot ends up being horrible we decided to give a new place a try.

Now before I go any further, please note The Boy has had his fair share of horrible haircuts. Raise your hand if you remember the time the haircut ended up looking like the character from Dumb&Dumber, probably the most notable of the Bad Haircuts

But honestly in all our Bad Hair experience this just took it to a whole new level. Now I completely understand that cutting The Boy's hair is a total pain. I get that - which is why I Pay you to do it so I don't have to do it Myself. I let them know about his tendency to, how shall I put it, loosely follow directions - as in "look down" will get a brief look down but probably not the full minute and a half you are accustomed to thanks. I mean HELLO this is the child that takes twenty minutes to put on a pair of underwear for crying out loud.

I digress. I will say that when The Haircut was finished there was hair everywhere and I simply couldn't tell Just How Horrible It Was - that is I could not tell how horrible it was until after shower and Boy Howdy. I thought briefly it was Just Me. Perhaps I'm being over critical. I had High Hair Standards or something. Then David came in and said Oh No Somebody Needs To Fix This. And then BigMama agreed. And people at church say the same things. And FABULOUS he has a jacked-up haircut. See?

There were Full Intentions to take The Boy back and have them fix at least one portion but they were closed the morning David had off to take him. BigMama rocks for at least straightening the right side. I plan to let it grow a little more and then I'll rack my brain to think of just where on earth to take him this next time. Hopefully it will end happily ever after this next go-round because The Boy's already asking if maybe we should just cut all of it off like his Daddy's - just not ready for a shaved head yet! Hey, at least it wasn't his Back-to-School Ready-for-Kindergarten Haircut, right?
