what is your strangest experience in a beauty salon or at the barbers?  tonight after my sons buzz cut (as i was standing at the check out waiting to pay) the guy uses the blow dryer directly on his u know what (whilst looking at me).  i said, 'aren't you hot enough already?' he sort of smiled and then finished blowing the cut hair off his pants.  i've never seen someone use the hair dryer like that without at least turning around.

ps today was a ninety degree day here in pa.  i think it affected him mentally.

oh my, that is odd.
the one time at the hairdresser they washed my hair and cut it.
thats about as strange as things have gotten for me.

Unfortunately, I don't have a son.

Or is that fortunate for me?

More things to ponder......

I fell asleep with gum in my mouth by accidnet, woke up and it was all in my sideburns and the neckline of my hair, I didn't check myself in the mirror and I didn't scratch my head at all, so that day at the hair dresser, she was like what did you do?!

He was just blowing the hairs away, surely, or did he really get out his block and tackle in the shop ?

A hair dryer is very good for itchy fungus infections down there and under the arms; no need for ointments. A bald friend of mine, while working in China, purchased a hair dryer to use for that purpose on his backside and had a very interesting time explaining to the locals in broken Chinese exactly why he needed a hair dryer when he was bald.

Seriously though, it really does work.

on the hot setting?  maybe they switch settings.   when i use one on my hair - it's too hot after a couple of seconds to point right at one spot (without waivering). 

itchy-hair fungus?  hmm.  that is funny - considering he was bald.  did he HAVe to explain himself. 

my topic is a poorly chosen one, admittedly, but the shock value of having a barber suddenly turn on himself with a blow dryer (no he didn't let his block and tackle out) in full view made me wonder if he was some sort of lunatic that happened to walk by the shop and pose as a hairdresser.  he didn't know how to use the cash register very well, either - which should have been a tip off.  and, when i asked if he had a business card he didn't.  and, he asked what i would do with it.  (this had mostly to do with the fact he still wanted cash after i paid with credit card - and falsely told me that the credit card didn't go thru.  when i came back with cash - there were more people around - so i asked him again - why, if i gave you the credit card and u have a receipt right there- didn't it go thru.  then he said, 'it did go thru.'  so my son said, 'why do we need to pay you again.'   he said, 'you don't.'  this was after i walked all the way to the atm thinking that he needed cash instead of the card.  so i said - well, here's a twenty - take five for a tip.  he didn't know how to make change - so i said - can you give me back $15.?  he looked perplexed.  was this a case of complete misunderstanding or was he unable to get enough tip by running my credit card?  why do some days have to be so entirely strange.  i was willing to get the cash - but almost accidentally paid for the haircut AGAIN plus tip.  am realizing when i asked for his business card, and when more people entered - he was becoming more honest.

Yes, hot setting, in bearable short bursts of course. The fungus needs moisture to survive.
