I used to take my boys to the barber college to get their hair cut. The students who cut the hair were similar to a resident in the hospital. They had completed their studies and needed experience. There were experienced barbers on the floor with them in case of problems.
One time my youngest son was sitting politely in his chair. Suddenly he yelled. His barber clipped a little chunk out of his ear!
His haircut was free that day.
By the time he was due for another cut he was willing to try again. He sat quietly in his chair again. And once more he was injured.
This time there were no pieces of his ear missing. He did have a small scraping type of cut. Another free haircut.
My son was really angry at the two men who had cut him. He said he would never go back.
The fact was that another haircut day came.
As we walked into the barber college my son declared that he wanted a woman barber. Since the injuries came from men barbers he thought a woman might be more careful.
He was right. No injuries that day. He insisted on a woman every time after that.
thecontemplativecat here. Wow! Those were disastrous hair cuts in the worst way. He was right. Women are better hair stylists. I took my son to a beauty college when he was 3. The women smiled and stood around chuckling. My boy scowled at them. He still has that smile to use for other occasions.
ReplyDeleteI think my son took it too far but I respect his feelings.
DeleteI can certainly understand your son wanting a woman to cut his hair after the first two disastrous and injurious ones with a male barber.
ReplyDeleteEven children see trends and try to fix things.
Deletei think not all men barber would do that but i can understand your son 's point of view as a customer
ReplyDeleteit is really rare but still it happened few times when boys came with scratch like cut ,it hurts indeed
here people don't take any education for hair cut actually which is sad
My son actually had a small chunk cut from his ear. Certainly not all the men were so careless. My son decided not to take the chance.
