Uncle Scott's No Good, VERY Bad ..... Hair Day(s)......

Over the past week, we have had family visiting.....it was an absolutely enjoyable visit! However, Wednesday night proved to be a little humorous! It's true that we all tend to wear our hair just a smidgen shorter in the hot summer months and for guys.....well some guys.....even where they plop down for this "summer cut" doesn't matter in the least. We women make our appointments 6 weeks out with the hope that the style and root growth make it for 6 weeks. Men on the other hand tend to just go with the flow and as long as there is a breathing human being waiting with scissors and an open chair......they sit! It is this sort of stupidity thinking that got my brother in law into a little "bad hair" dilemma! After dinner we were sitting around the table visiting when said BIL starting telling the story of his recent bad haircut. He was explaining that he described exactly what he wanted and got the look he was sporting instead. Now really......yes it wasn't his "best" look but for the most part the line that went around his head (where I think Edward Scissorhands the stylist put the bowl) wasn't properly faded into the longer hair on the top of his head. Yes it looked a lot like he gave the clippers to my nephew Jack for practice.....but he could still go out in public and unless he called attention to his new "do" most people would not have noticed anything out of the ordinary......until he made "another" very bad decision........ this would involve going to get it "fixed"!!!!

Friday night we were all invited to BIL's house for dinner ..... and we were all warned by SIL that a certain individual got yet another haircut.....only this time it's a much better story!!! He goes back to the "same salon" and asks for a haircut ..... open chair and scissors in hand set off any alarms........??? Down he sits......asks for a #1 on the sides and a #2 or #3 on the top..... Good gravy I can't remember the length he asked for, but a stylist that does NOT speak the English language very well should be the first clue that maybe you should wait or even come back at a later time ....... but NOOOOOO ...... plop down, watch closely as your hair is being buzzed right off your head and then pay ........ better yet TIP ...... and leave!!! I think (I was laughing too hard at this point to remember the next series of events) this is when he called my SIL to let her know that he "thinks" he got yet another bad haircut........and knowing her as I do ...... I'm sure that this statement led to a series of questions as to where, when, how and by whom ........did this "bad" haircut take place. She was still a little in shock over the first "bad" bowl cut and now just days later he does it to himself ...... yet again! BIL goes home and goes to his office and begins to work (with get this....... a ball cap on his head) I guess hoping that no one in the family would notice ..... who knows.......but SIL comes home asks for the ball cap to be removed and all but had a coronary! I know, I know....... hair grows quickly and in two (well maybe three) weeks he should start to look normal again, but I could not let an opportunity like this be passed up .... this is what makes "families" sooooo much fun ........ I HAD to take a picture and blog this one! Sorry Scott......I'm so sorry.....really ...... that this laugh has to be at your expense...but, you did this to yourself, your wife warned you......so maybe the next time waiting for the "right" stylist will mean just a little bit more to you or even better yet, make an appointment with someone you know and trust ..... your wife does ...... and her hair looks great!
