Hacked

Isn't there some sort of test required to graduate from beauty school?  (Or cosmetology school, or whatever is currently politically correct?)  Isn't there a standard to achieve before one is let loose in the universe to take scissors to another one's head?  Isn't there a way to detect if one side is shorter than the other?  Perhaps, maybe, checking in the mirror?  There must be minimum standards.

I know this whole haircut fiasco is probably my own fault.  After all I have someone who does a beautiful job with my hair.  But she went too far when she raised her prices the last time.  I had to draw the line some place.  I am retired you know.  On a fixed income.  One should not be forced to forego nourishment for a week in order to cover the cost of a haircut.  Should they?  What makes this even worse is that I found someone who does an equally fine job - for half the price!  That's right, half the price.  The problem is she is 700 miles away.

That's what led me to the impostor.  The hair stylist un-extraordinaire.  I am convinced she was a beauty school drop out who faked her credentials.  I thought she acted a little on the nervous side when she began hacking away at my tresses.  If I had been an undercover hair agent she would have been busted and charged with defamation of locks. My locks.

So herein lies the problem.  Do I want to stand on principle and refuse to pay the gouger with the magic scissors? Or do I want to look good?

I guess one week without food won't kill me.
