Bye Bye, Rattail!

I got to cut Oliver's rattail off today! I think it may have been the most gratifying moment in my career so far. No joke.

Ok...let's back up a little bit. Months ago, my friend Oliver decided to let his hair grow. Guys with shaggy hair are cool with me. However, there was one little problem. The back of Oliver's hair grows faster than the front, producing this gnarly looking rattail type thing. Well, after spending a good amount of time telling him that it was not a good look, he finally asked me to cut it off. Thank you Oliver!

Another gratifying work moment...Last night I did a cut and color on a new client. She was super nice and we managed to have a good conversation for the entire three hours that she was there. One of the things that we talked about was our similar tastes in music. Well, tomorrow she is bringing me a cd of all the bands she likes that I haven't heard of. And she added me on facebook. I may sound weird, but it's really nice knowing that my clients actually like me. It's like a big pat on the back or high five or something. I don't know.

Well, I have to wrap this up because I'm going to watch my friend Megan get her hair colored by her sister, who has recently started cosmetology school. I feel like this post has a lot to do with hair. Actually I guess it's pretty much all about hair. But hair is kind of my life now. And even though I still have a lot to learn, and will probably always have a lot to learn, I'm enjoying it.

Have a great weekend!
