My First Haircut

Sunday, August 26, 2007

My hair was getting way long. When I wake up in the mornings and look into the mirror and see an afro about 2 inches thick, that means it's time to get a haircut. Yeah, my hair doesn't just puff up but it kinda starts jerry-curling as well. I've always preferred the short military-style haircut with a zero blade size for the sides and finger-length cut on the top. So there I was, nervously waiting in line to get a haircut and imagining the different things that could go wrong because I knew that my language was very limited and I didn't know how to explain the type of haircut I wanted. Come my turn, I went and sat on the chair and understood as the guy asked me how I wanted it cut. I quickly whipped out my digital camera and showed him a picture of myself with the way I wanted it cut. (It was a picture of a previous haircut I got back in the states.) The guy didn't even look at the picture for 2 seconds! He simply glanced at it and started cutting away. I thought to myself, "Is He that good? Did he actually look at the picture and understand what to do or is he simply in a hurry to get me done?" He starts off with the sides, which I thought turned out great. He then started working on the top. As I watched in the mirror when the guy did his fist pass with the clippers, my eyes turned big and my heart started going faster! I thought to myself, "HE'S GOING TO CUT IT ALL OFF!!!!!" It was coming out so short but since he already started it, there wasn't much I could do. So I kinda said to myself, "Welcome to your first haircut, Peyton". The rest of the day I couldn't help but smile and laugh at how it turned out. It's better than the afro that I had earlier, though. This is probably a record for me for the "Shortest Haircut" I've had. Overall, though, I was thankful and pleased that nothing went wrong.
