in all my years of getting haircuts i have almost always asked for the exact same thing from the stylist.
"just a little off the sides and back. leave it a little long on the top."
this statement gives concise direction but, at the same time, leaves ample room for interpretation.
giving the stylist a feeling of empowerment and control. allowing them to release their creative juices. making my head their canvas; my hair their work of art.
so, in other words, its kind of my fault that i got a bad haircut today.
it almost makes me want to be more concise with the haircut people.
tell them exactly what i want.
but i, even with a bad haircut, am i man of principle. guided by my artistic vision and philosphy.
you can't micromanage art, i think, as i try combing my hair a thousand different ways but not finding any styles attractive.
you must let the artist be.
and plus, i remind myself as i am trying on numerous hats, maybe i will grow to like it.
some of my most favorite art pieces were hated the first time i saw them.
so, maybe, just maybe, this sculpture on my head, this piece, this work of art entitled "totally short and uneven" will one day reveal itself as the greatest head of hair anyone has ever seen.
or maybe it will just grow back out.
