I'm taking Stace to Poland in a week to meet the rest of the family she married in to, and she's super nervous. Would making her watch the Hostel movies be a mean thing to do?

Red hair, straight hair, no regrowth, trimmed fringe. Lookin' pretty. I keep swooshing my hair around an it still tays neat. Also I smell like hair dye, which I like, even though I generally hate the chemically smelling hair products. It is a little sad, but getting my hair done always makes me feel better about myself.

Getting their hair done makes most people feel good. It's like, a thing.

I haven't had my hair did for a while. I should get on that.

valley_parade · « **Reply #457 on:** 13 Apr 2011, 06:13 »

I don't get my hairs did, but I do enjoy going for a haircut. Even though I have a fairly quick and basic hairstyle (buzzzzzzzzed short), the guy I go to always takes his time and makes sure everything is as even as can be.

Plus it's a barber shop run by black dudes who play old soul music and talk about rap feuds constantly. Even if you're sitting around for a while waiting to get your hair cut, it's always entertaining.

It may sound kinda stereotypical..but hey. The dudes talk about rap, listen to good music, and cut a good head of hair.

Having someone else touch your head has been known to make people feel better. I feel very relaxed after getting my hair cut.

Oh me too! I really like the hair dye smell and how it stays in your hair for a while and you can smell it the next time you wash it. I get this same feeling when I spend the time to dry and straighten my hair on my own. Makes me feel good because damn, I have a lot of hair, it takes a lot of effort to make it look nice and making it look nice makes me feel pretty. I should book in for next two weeks, my regrowth will need fixing by then.

Man I love getting my hair cut even if, like Shane, I have a very basic style (I actually tell them what numbers to use and where). My place is this little shop run by indie girls that have various posters everywhere.

Around here we also have these. My girlfriend hates them.

i used to really struggle with haircuts when i lived in guelph and markham because the only salons i could find were these really prissy ultra-feminine ones where the stylists didn't ever seem to know what to do when i told them what kind of hair i wanted (usually something really short and kind of gay). they'd consistently either leave it way too long or just give me some ultra uninteresting, utterly unflattering nonsense. now i have a middle aged, extremely gay dude with lots of experience for a hairstylist which rules because all i gotta do is give him the basic rundown of what kind of hair i want and clarify that i am actively trying to look really androgynous so, you know, just make me look kind of like an attractive dude, and then he gets really excited and goes to town on it and i always end up with something really exciting and fun. he's not cheap so i only get my hair cut once every four months now but man, do i ever look forward to it. you're the best, allan.

Metope · « **Reply #467 on:** 13 Apr 2011, 11:34 »

II really need a goddamn haircut. My hair falls really stupid in my neck, and it seems to never outgrow that lame 'growing out' phase, although it's a lot better than it was a couple months ago. I am so tempted to go to a cheap hairdresser and just chop it all off again, but I'm gonna bite my teeth together and wait it out. I'll go get my roots fixed and my hair trimmed in maybe late May, that's all I can afford.

Oh and the colour is pretty bad now too, since the amazing dye I got last time didn't last for very long because my hair was bleached under it. Next time I'll get it fixed properly, but yeah, that's in over a month. Ugh.

Last time I got my hair cut it looked like a Dovey from the future was cutting it.

sean · « **Reply #469 on:** 13 Apr 2011, 13:05 »

womp so i totally had two root canals done this morning. they really arn't that bad! and i have dental insurance, which is really cool.

ANYWAY why im posting about this is cause as the endodontist was looking at my teeth, he commented that it looked like one of my teeth had actually had the nerve severed a long time ago. once he actually got to doing the normal root canal, he confirmed it, so apparently for about 7 years (his estimate) i've needed a root canal anyway if i never had one, my tooth would have eventually gotten infected/decayed/whatever and i would have had to of gotten a much more complicated/expensive/likely more painful procedure. my life what the fuck

for those of you who are curious, i got it done on my two front left teeth (in fancy dentist talk, they are teeth 8 and 9 apparently.)

pen · « **Reply #470 on:** 13 Apr 2011, 13:12 »

I needed a root canal when I wasn't insured, so I didn't go for it. Eventually, I forgot about it, then my tooth decayed so much that it broke in half one day while chewing something soft. Had to get it extracted, which sucked, and then get an implant, which not only sucked, but cost me a total of about $2500... and that's with the insurance I got beforehand. Teeth are tricky.

ditto except that i went from ultracuts to a cool-ass place where my hairstylist also runs a film production company on the side & is happily married & also he saw fugazi in 2001

I go to the cheap place at the mall. The one time I went to a decent salon I was charged $20 more to do an extremely shitty job. And the lady was super rude and didn't listen to a word I said. So I'm fine with the cheap place at the mall for now.

I just wish I could find a decent blue-black hair dye that would last more than 2 weeks

Liz · « **Reply #474 on:** 13 Apr 2011, 17:43 »

The best part about having curly hair is that you can cut it yourself incredibly easily. No worries about cutting unevenly because you're not going to be able to tell. When I don't like my hair I just head to the bathroom with a scissors and go for it.

Love my hair.

Edith · « **Reply #475 on:** 13 Apr 2011, 17:48 »

I cut my own hair way too often. Sometimes I give myself a John Denver, other times it's more of a Joan Jett. Then I go in to the Hair Barn and Rhonda figures out a way to make me look good again.

You'd think I would have learned something from my bald Barbie doll, but I can be a bit thick sometimes.

I get my hair cut by a middle-aged Armenian immigrant who barely speaks french, but understands english pretty well. She's pretty rad, honestly. Last time I got my hair cut, she told me that she wanted to cut it just like Win Butler from Arcade Fire or Diamond Rings (google their hair, I am too lazy). I' decided not to, but it still amazed me that she would propose this. She's cool.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #477 on:** 13 Apr 2011, 20:10 »

I get my hair cut by my girlfriend who is one of the senior stylists at a super swanky salon in the city. She usually charges something along the lines of $150 for what she does so I'm pretty lucky I guess.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #478 on:** 13 Apr 2011, 20:56 »

I'm not sure why, but when I was little I would hate getting my hair cut. For some reason it felt really painful when they were using the automatic clippers, and I would constantly grimace and close my eyes. One barber even called me out on it. Now I feels fine to me.

The only people who have ever cut my hair are me and my mom.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #480 on:** 13 Apr 2011, 21:19 »

Yeah my sister would cut my hair back home, and it was brilliant because she understood what I wanted and what would suit me even better than I did, so I could really trust her to just go to town and try something new/different and it would always come out looking awesome. Also it was a real trip to see my sister being competent at something, seeing as she's pretty fucking hopeless in literally every other part of her life. Also with the 50% discount I got I was only paying $26 for the haircut which is basically the exact amount I'd like to pay for a haircut. I made sure I got a cut from her the day before flying out and if and when I go home one of the first things I do will be to book another one. In the meantime I've gotta get good at cutting my own.

I go to the same hairstylist as my mom - he is very expensive but totally worth it. He moved to Canada from England in the 50s and the first job he got was sweeping up hair in a salon. He never even went to school to learn how to cut hair, he's just naturally talented. He's got a beautiful studio of his own, and lets my mom and myself make appointments at 7 am (before he's open) because she's been his client for 26 years now.

Eris · « **Reply #483 on:** 14 Apr 2011, 04:42 »

I see Jimmy's lady too and she gives me the best haircuts I have ever had. I would never even try and cut my own hair because there is so much of it! I can't see the back of my head, and I can tell I would miss bits of it and it would look terrible or end up really bottom heavy because I don't know how to cut hair, let alone cut curly hair and add layers to even it out. I will leave that to the professionals.

nekowafer · « **Reply #484 on:** 14 Apr 2011, 05:44 »

I need a decent hairstylist that actually knows what would look good on me. I don't suppose anyone knows someone in the Baltimore area? I only recently got myself some bangs after like 23 years of all the same length with a part down the middle.

On a bloggy note; I feel awesome lately. I really do. I have never in my life felt this good.. I wake up every day, in a good mood, not necessarily ready to go to work, but not grumpy and crappy and sad. I love you, venlafaxine.

That's awesome, Manda. I want chickens pretty bad, but you have to hide them here because there's a city ordinance against having livestock in the city and there's nowhere on this property to hide them. I'm so happy for you that you get to have some!

The white one is a leghorn rooster, but the black one is an australorp hen:) We will probably be getting australorp chicks and maybe a laying hen from a friend's dad! No need to hide them here- my yard backs up to a field full of cows and sheep, so I'm pretty sure we're zoned alright for ag.

The Seldom Killer · « **Reply #494 on:** 14 Apr 2011, 07:31 »

Out near us they just generally run aound in the road. Yesterday while cycling home from town I encountered several bird hazards. The first was some juvenile pheasants which are really funny when startled, then some chickens which were arrogantly disinclined to get out of my way. About a mile later it was a massive turkey sat on the edge of the verge by it's farm. This is pretty unusual for Yorkshire, turkeys aren't native and rarely farmed here. They were next to some ducks which weren't in the way, just really shouty.

Are you just getting them for eggs or are you going to get into some home butchery?

In the UK it's got quite common for people to adopt chickens that used to be battery housed but aren't productive enough for commercial interests.

I'm eggs-only, Chris is open to the concept of some for meat though. His vegetarianism is based more on animal cruelty lines, so if he is confident that they had clean, healthy lives and humane butchering then he's happy to eat them (has been the occasional fish only so far). I still couldn't quite stomach it, but we'll see if I'm comfortable having chickens killed/eaten in my yard or not;)

I can't fathom eating something that I named, but if he can do it then more power to him. I would imagine it takes a strong person to be able to separate the backyard chicken from the chicken on the plate.

(For the record, I don't eat animals I haven't named either. I've been veg for almost 20 years)

I grew up on a small dairy farm, all of the cows we milked got names that we used daily. When they got too old to produce good milk, and if we were running low on beef, well...

You get used to it. They taste the same. And that taste is delicious.
