Bad doo

So, this evening, we went to Columbus for Kris's yearly haircut. She waits until she has a long enough "crop", then she goes and gets it cut and donated to locks of love. Many high class salons will give you a free haircut if you do this and she would do it anyway. Today she went to Charles Penzone hair salon in Columbus, and got a pretty cool haircut for basically free. She did tip, but not leaving a tip is generally criminal in our opinion. Then we went to old navy. Near old navy was a Great Clips. I needed a hair cut so Kris sent me over there while she shopped at Old Navy.
I told the guy what I wanted and he started to cut. About half way into it he seemed to notice that he had cut to much off the top and so he tried to fix it... and failed miserably. I don't remember when I had a worse haircut. Of course, I'm too embarrassed to say anything about it so I paid him, and tipped him, and left. I was hoping it was just me, but when I got back to Kris, my fears were confirmed. She said, "Hmm, that's a really bad haircut." So. I'm wondering around old navy with Kalvary and Glory, looking like some loser who cuts his own hair, thinks he's good at it, and isn't. After that we drove to another Old Navy. Kris has a gift card and Old Navy is having sales, so we have to stop at as many as possible. Anyway, there was a great clips next to this Old navy too. Kris convinces me to take my receipt from the first great clips into this one and see if they will fix it for free. I'm mortified. I do it anyway. I was going to bash Great Clips, but now I must commend them. At least the one on Rome Hillard Rd in Columbus. They fixed my hair mostly, and didn't charge me a cent. They also got a bigger tip than the previous guy, about the maximum I would give for a haircut. I know this story is really riveting, but I hope someone gets some enjoyment out of it.

Yes, friends, it was a really, really, really bad haircut. It was uneven everywhere and something about it looked really funny in the front. It wasn't even straight across his forehead. I wish we had a picture to prove it.

Last time I got a haircut it sucked major too. I even reminded the lady as too what I had wanted a couple times and she just said yeah, yeah and kept cutting. I wasn't impressed at all. so I am never going back to where she works.

Going to Great Clips is like playing the lottery. So far, I haven't gotten lucky. :( Too bad you didn't get a picture though, sounds pretty interesting!

P.S. Tell Kris to post a picture of herself on her blog.
