Those scissors sat in a drawer for a week while I searched the intertubes for instructions on how to cut a man's curly locks. Hair Cutting For Dummies arrived from the library one day but that book did NOT inspire confidence.
I hemmed and hawed and read and thought. Meanwhile, Michael's blossoming 'fro was starting to resemble Linc's from the Mod Squad (if you're too young to know what I'm talking about... well, never mind...)

Finally, we decided that today was going to be the big day. The haircut was long past due. Today would be the THREE MONTH anniversary of Mr. CfP's last haircut and my hair-cutting debut.
And, well, my worst nightmare didn't happen (or at least not THIS worst nightmare). Mr. CfP will not have to make a hair appointment in order to get his wife's mistakes fixed. There are probably MANY mistakes in his 'do, but none appear to be noticeable enough for the untrained eye to care about.
Ta-daaaaaa!
Too bad I didn't take any "Befores".
I think that I'll wait until I've cut his hair a couple of more times before I open up my own salon. You'll be invited to my Open House.
just be happy he doesn't want his eyebrows waxed! not that he would ever ask THAt though. does he trim his own beard?
ReplyDeletebtw i think his do looks mighty fine.
and the only reason i didn't know who linc is is because i was living in germany at the time..
Linc-oln B. Hayes! Remember how he used to say his name? I do. I had a fro like his - but mine came from a box. Those were the days . . . . Nice job on the hair cut. My mom was my dad's 'barber' for decades and he wore a crew cut!
ReplyDeleteFoam, he did ask me to trim his eyebrows, which I've never done in my life. I had no idea what I was doing and after I cut one, well... I'll just say that I couldn't decide if I should cut the other one that bad or try to do a better job on it which would mean the two didn't match. That had me laughing uncontrollably. Laughing like that doesn't instill a lot of confidence toward the barber.
ReplyDeleteG.G.,
ReplyDeleteHmmmm... no, I don't remember him saying his name like that. I do remember thinking the members of that trio were pretty darn cool, though.
You had a 'fro??? Do you have any photos?
Looks great Carol ... will he now be able to cut yours with those expensive scissors?
ReplyDeleteWish you were up the road - my hair could do with a trim!
yes . . .
ReplyDeleteDancing,
ReplyDeleteThanks! I don't know if I'm brave enough to let Mr. CfP cut my hair. Mine's probably easier to cut than his, but I've always wanted it cut "just so". No one can tell that it's cut "just so", except me, but still, it's important! :-)
I'd have fun trimming your hair! We could make it a spa day!
G.G.,
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll see one on your blog sometime??? :-)
