So what if this was posted six months ago…

I have the exact same problem, and I’m a boy.

What generally winds up happening is that I get get ‘Generic Boy haircut No. 5′, which makes me look exactly like my father.

To the point where people tell me, ‘Put a hat on or something, you’re freakin’ me out.’

I pay crazy outrageous salon prices because I like getting my hair washed and brushed. I hate brushing my hair.

I haven’t been in a long time though because I’m terrified if I get a trim I’m going to walk out with a bowl cut just above my ears after they take off all the split ends.

I usually don’t talk during the process either, but it helps that I only take appointments with the same hairdresser, so she’s had time to get used to it. She talks, constant chatter. I try to resist the urge to nod my head

She may think I’m weird, but she always takes my tips, which is close enough to social validation for me.

Yep, you’ve pretty accurately summarised pretty much every haircut experience I’ve had in my life. Does the fact that I’m a dude make that better or worse?

You are hilarious- and it’s because you’re a genius! Why do we care more about impressing our hairstylist (beauty school dropout, go back to high school) than getting the haircut we want!!
And bangs are so easy to say, so fickle to wear, so painful to outgrow.
The worst is that even if I hate the cut, I lie And say I love it and I hand over a big tip. It’s masochistic really. Like I’m punishing myself for letting her cut my hair. And in 6 weeks, I’ll be back to do it again! Ugh.

That is why I fork over way too much cash to the ONLY person I trust with my hair!! I went through a nightmarish period when I had short hair and she rescued it, after many cheaper places who all made me freakish and asymmetrical. Boy do I relate on this one – I feel like the vainest person alive when dealing with hair!
