Pseudo Hairdresser
Maybe it's my PMS or something, but I am insanely pissed with the old ah beng who just snipped my hair...
Sometimes you just get a feeling that things won't turn out fine, and that's what I got.
I was walking towards the hairdresser when I saw this platinum blond Ah Beng from afar standing outside the door... smoking the thing that kills every innocent person nearby.. So I walked up to the shop, but he was blocking the entire doorway, and you can't help but to frown because he's being rude by not even letting you through the door, and secondly, his clothes were a sign of disaster (I think he still feels like he's 18 or something... when he's most prob in his late thirties???)
Anyways, the most striking thing about him were his wispy blonde locks (oh did I just say that?)... I mean 'over-dried-up-platinum-yellow-hay-not-even-meant-for-horses-to-chew-on' hair... And guess what? He had bits of pink (NEED I SAY PINK!?!?) chunks dyed on that mop of his... GAAAHHH!!!!
I said 'excuse me' in my polite(est) voice ever just so I could squeeze into the shop. And he rudely said,
'mei you dian'
(apparently the shop's wire tripped or something...)
After a few minutes the electricity went back on and I was looking hopefully at the aunty who usually does my hair. Too bad for me though, she was helping this girl getting ready for her prom, and just at that moment, she signalled to the Ah Beng
Now he's gonna be the one to snipsnipsnip my hair!!!
Yeah.. I told him what I wanted - Just trim , with the back looking like a bob (the usual).. AND I TOLD HIM TO MAINTAIN MY FRONT LENGTH (I couldn't tell him that I wanted Aeon Flux's-do, cuz I doubt he'd even know who Charlize Theron is...)
So I sat there, I let him do his thing, and I expected him to be GENTLE and FOCUSED with cutting my hair... but was momentarily horrified with his fast snipping scissors (that kept dropping onto the floor). I didn't pay 15 bucks just to let him experiment with my head, I expected GOOD RESULTS... otherwise I could've gone to some '10 mins hair-cut' place... I think he did it in less than 5 (okay.. I'm exaggerating, but it seemed that way)
And come on, which hairstylist doesn't stoop down to look at the mirror from my head's height just to see if my length is symmetrical???? HE DIDN'T!! And I didn't dare to be honest because I know that I'd flare up pretty badly (which I did on the way home)... And I suffered my mistake of not heeding my 'feelings' in the first place.
I stomped home angrily in the rain.. and when I got back, I took my other mirror to the toilet, I noticed that both sides of my hair weren't symmetrical at all. So I held a pair of big orange scissors in my hand and started to snip away... At least now my hair's more balanced now..
