A few weeks ago I cut out a coupon for SuperCuts. Yesterday I decided to take the business up on their offer of $2 off. I walked into the small salon in the Albertson\u2019s shopping center on Verdugo and Hollywood Way in Burbank. I remember I\u2019d visited this location long ago when I still lived with Aaron on Cahuenga Boulevard.<\/p>\n
I walked in and a tall thin man with Jet black hair asked me if I came for a cut. Let me give you a visual. The guy looked like a 6\u20193\u201d 120 pound Wayne Newton (with the same hair). Immediately I noticed something was off. He was emitting an unusual amount of grunts and ticks. He was so jumpy he managed to launch a pen at my stomach when he tried to pick it up to write my name on the customer list across the counter.<\/p>\n
Then I discovered that he\u2019d be the one cutting my hair. What would you do? I felt sorry for the guy, after all it probably isn\u2019t his fault that he\u2019s got the nervous ticks \u2013 but what profession would you choose if you had constant jitters? Probably not one where you brandish sharp objects at people\u2019s heads.<\/p>\n
I quietly crossed my fingers underneath the protective purple hair gown.<\/p>\n
It turned out that it was probably the gentlest haircut I\u2019ve ever gotten. The guy was so worried about it that he was very cautious. I swear half the time he\u2019d slice the scissors and not actually cut anything. The haircut didn\u2019t turn out how I wanted. It ended up being the kind of haircut that will put you back in the seat in under three weeks. However, I just wanted to get out of there as I was going to be late to my next destination (racquetball court #3) if I had this guy do another fifteen minutes to remove another eighth of an inch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
