So today I went to get my haircut, I'm overdue, so I figure I get there at 3:30 I should be out in an hour. Now first, this barber I went to on my last hair cut and this was is second audition; the last time he spent most of my time in the chair on his cell phone, eating chips (dropping salt nuggets into my newly faded hair) and generally taking all day for an even cut, lining and beard trim. He shaved my beard off stating that he "Thought" I would like for my beard to match my hair cut, I'm not giving you this dub to "Thought" what I wanted. So I figure he cool so I will go back and make it even, and here we are to today. So I arrive, like I said at 3:30pm; when I arrived he was at the store, about to grab some food. He said he had one in the chair and one in front of me. So I sit down and wait. He comes and sits down next to me, smashes his lunch and heads to cutting this head sitting in the chair. So of course, he takes his time cutting the head in the chair and moves on to the guy who was in front of me. okay I'm next looking forward to getting this nappy weight off my scalp. So two people walk in, follow by a guy who I chatted with from a suburb of Detroit, Pontiac (just becuz we love the yac), Michigan. So along the way when the guy in front of me is done, this dude with very little to know hair jumps in the chair with no problem, I take in stride, I know these to guys roll together, no biggie. Now my hair is in a nappy fro and I'm still waiting mind you, it's five minutes to 5pm, the barber looks over at me and my nappy weight and asks me if I wanted a relaxer (now, I'm at a lack for words), well I forget I'm in LA today and dudes got silky johnson ass hair on this side of the country. I correct him and sit back, still, he has taken literally all day balding this dude who had speckle at the top of his head, and balding spot from what looks like a shaving accident. So I now I'm thinking it's my turn, I'm the only one left, when two more people take turns jumping in the chair before me... Now, lets go back; One in the chair, and one in front of you, I sat, waited patiently and tipped this dude last time for fucking me up.. and now, four people i have watched sitting in my chair. Now for most, it's not a big deal, for a man to pick a barber is kinda like buying a car, you have to rely on it and trust that it will do what you need it to.
I really don't want to have to fly all the way to New York, go to Park Slope to get a quality hair cut.. But dammit, I will..
