Time	Event
12:37a	Shear Genius Okay, I came across this show (I found it on Youtube lol) "Shear Genius" basically where hairstylists compete and are voted for by a panel of judges. THey have to do all sorts of stuff, cut hair, straighten it, style it, make art with it.  I can't for the life of me find the particular episode I am talking about, or i would post links.. if anyone finds it let me know. LOL (it's long, you probably wouldn't want to watch it all anyway) The challenge was that they would take girls with long (ish, when they said long they meant hovering around BSL for most of them) and cut it into a style that both the judges and the individual models liked. I don't have a problem with that, these girls obviously must have volunteered for it and its not like they were promoting short hair as being better than long. However, the "challenge" part of this is that the stylists had to cut the hair with... unconventional hair tools. Office scissors, nail clippers, X-acto knives, hedge clippers. O_O I dunno if its just me, but it seems really unprofessional for stylists to risk damaging a real person's hair by using such.. unreliable implements. One woman worked with kids craft scissors and complained about how blunt they were... her poor model is gonna have splits up the wazzoo in a few weeks. It just seems like, if you're going to cut off someone's long air that they are kind of attached to, you may want to do it... with some degree of seriousness. Plus those huge hedge clippers that look like they're made for cutting off heads, not hair... would have sent me running, screaming, with that silly apron-drape thing still on me XD (16 Comments | Comment on this)
12:36p	sucky economy I went to get a health trim today since I haven't gotten my hair cut in a few months, and I had them just take an inch off. It feel smoother now, but you can't really tell and I washed and blew dry it before I went. Yet still, there goes 20 dollars out of my pocket. This economy sucks, huh? (35 Comments | Comment on this)
4:44p	Trims in San Antonio? Does anyone here know of someone in San Antonio I can trust to not chop my hair off if I go for a trim? My ends can't really wait much longer. Also, has anyone given themselves a trim before and been happy with the results? My hair is hip-length, if it matters, and I'm considering trimming up to waist-length. (11 Comments | Comment on this)
9:36p	Question: hairdressing schools There's a number of hairdressing schools around the city that advertize five and six dollar haircuts, and I was kind of considering it, but I'm not sure if hairdressers there would be more scissor-happy or less than ones who are fully trained if I was just going in for a trim. So I thought I'd ask and see if anyone else has had their hair cut by a stylist-in-training for comparison. (16 Comments | Comment on this)
