[181/365] haircut

[cosmolinguist]

At work today, L told me my haircut is "definitely gayer" than the undercut I had before. He then, delightfully, expounded upon this by adding "it's like a combination of a militaryish high and tight and...a pixie cut."

I love that.

I think that they think that I don't understand what I'm asking for, because what would someone who looks like me want with that sort of haircut!

(My greatest fear when getting a haircut is coming out looking like I work in a bank, and it happens far too often.)

Ugh, yeah hairdressers can be far too judgmental or conservative sometimes. I had a hell of a time just finding someone who'd cut my undercut like I wanted, rather than trying to make it "more feminine" than I'd asked for. Even when I went to a barber's called Fellaz, they eventually tried to make it feminine.

Maybe find a picture of the kind of thing you'd like, and go in with that to show them? It might help you convince them that you do know what you're talking about and you do really want it like this.
