The 3.99 Haircut From HELL

This is a real picture of how I looked only minutes after I left the haircut place advertising haircuts for only $3.99.

I have 1989 8-year-old bangs. I have frizz. I have fluff.

I have horror. On Friday I will be seeing high school friends that I haven't seen in six years. Glad to know I'll be making a lasting impression.

Next time I'll try a place where the hairdresser actually rinses all the soap from my hair on the first try. *

* Moral: If you need a haircut and you're a poor law student starve until you can save up enough money to afford a gay hairdresser at a posh salon.

Really...Tessa!!!! You have both Angela and myself...where did we go wrong? How come you didn't turn to us in your time of need? If there is anything I know, it is NOT to get a haircut from anyone who charges $3.99! You poor thing. I'm not going to explicitly tell you who you remind me of, but I will say this---they probably live in a trailer. (I'm sorry----we'll fix it, I promise!)

What? I've never had a more complimentary picture of myself. This whole haircut has taught me a very valuable lesson: Living in denial is a beautiful thing. And Sumi, I love you. I still owe you a dollar.

Wow, I thought the $10 haircut I had in college was bad... oh wait it was! They forgot to cut part of my hair!

I guess it just takes one bad haircut to realize that, in the hair world, price really is an indicator of how good you will look afterwards.

You do NOT owe me a dollar. However, I implore you...go to my hairdresser on Melrose. She will give you the best hair cut ever.

Actually you look like the kristen girl in Spiderman, my pop culture references are failing me, but I think her name is Kristen Dunst...the hair cut notwithstanding. Glad I checked in. Hope everything is going well, errr...everything beside the hair chop.

Tessa,

Wow. I am so sorry. That's pretty bad, but I'm sure you can fix it up to not be quite as bad.
