Haircut

Since I’ve been in hibernation for a few months, my hair is a fright. I no longer get out of bed thinking I might meet someone today. I don’t leave the house except to run the kids to their activities, load up groceries, and visit the relatives. I don’t even look in the mirror much (the light is bad anyway). It’s amazing how long your hair can grow when you don’t pay attention. The kids think its wonderful, but I’m at an age where it looks silly down past my shoulders. Especially since the roots are also getting longer. I’d make an appointment for the salon, but the thought of wasting a couple of hours there staring at the walls or listening to the stylist’s witty patter just makes me want to crawl back into bed. I am turning into a scary old lady.

AT THE BARBERSHOP

A man and a little boy entered a barbershop together. After the man received the full treatment - shave, shampoo, manicure, haircut, etc. - he placed the boy in the chair.

"I'm goin' to buy a green tie to wear for the parade," he said. "I'll be back in a few minutes."

When the boy's haircut was completed and the man still hadn't returned, the barber said, "Looks like your daddy's forgotten all about you."

"That wasn't my daddy," said the boy. "He just walked up, took me by the hand and said, 'Come on, son, we're gonna get a free haircut!'"

THE STYLIST

A bald man took a seat in a beauty parlour. "How can I help you ?" asked the stylist.

"I went for a hair transplant." the guy explained, "but I couldn't stand the thought of having any discomfort. If you can make my hair look like yours without causing me any discomfort, I'll pay you $5,000."

"No problem, " said the stylist, and she quickly shaved her head.

SMART BLONDE

"Miss Reynolds, we can't hire you as a model," the editor from the men's magazine explained. "It's obvious that your blonde hair isn't natural, since the hair between your legs is black."

The young model picked up the magazine editor's bowling ball and slammed it down on his fingers.

"What the hell did you do that for!" he exploded.

She smiled sweetly and said, "Look at your fingers. They're turning black, right? And they've only been banged once."

Do you really want that Hollywood hair?

My sister -- all of eleven months older than me -- colors her hair to cover the gray. When her daughter was 10, and my sister was dogging me about my gray hairs, her daughter defended me by saying "but his gray hairs make him look extinguished!". I knew what she meant, despite my sister's now being convulsed on the floor.

Now my niece is 32. The last time I saw her, I heard this: "Color your hair; you look old as hell".

*Sigh* Guess I really DO look extinguished now...

I saved myself an awful lot of maintenance.

I shaved my head.

As i followed the link to the 'vintage hairstyles" from here,I thought it right to click on "miscellany" first(see what I did there?),anyhow,I was particularly taken with those sporty young ladies with their cast iron 'do's.
One wonders if using that much hairspray required a fire extinguisher to be carried at all times,and if so,did they do a handbag sized one?

I totally hear you about sitting captive in the hairdressers chair. As you know, it's my pet peeve. I've finally found one who let's me relish the silence.

That picture of the bald guy with the face drawn on his head was hilarious!
