Butchered :(

Yeah, that is what the barber did to our Henry boy. I went into the barber shop, and requested “1 inch from the back”…we still wanted to keep it kind of long, just didn’t want it on his neck. Heck, Jon didn’t want him to get a haircut at all! I was a bit concerned when the guy came over and he was about 112 yrs old, but I figured that just means he has a lot of experience, right?!

Not quite. Apparently, what the barber heard was “take it all off unevenly, please”. Here are some pics of our little adventure :(

Not surprisingly, Henry wouldn’t sit in the seat by himself, so we got all set up with him sitting on my lap…

He sprayed Henry’s hair with water, which he wasn’t thrilled about…

And then he prepared to cut Henry’s hair

Um, doesn’t look like one inch off of the back to me!

That is when I might have gotten a little upset…I was still nice, but I explained that wasn’t at ALL what I asked for. He basically had taken it upon him to do what he pleased. He said “it will grow back nice and thick and strong, not like this fine baby hair”…um, I LOVE that fine baby hair. Ugh.

Being that I saw where this was going, and how it was all uneven and cut in layers, I decided to leave before he could butcher the front of Henry’s hair too. I just picked him up, paid at the front, and left… :(

From far away, you can’t tell that it is uneven and there are randomly long pieces of hair sticking out…

But when you get up close, you can see that it is no way near straight (and in person, you can see the flyaways that are like 2” longer than the rest of his hair).

I know it is not important and it will grow back, but it still upset me…and I know someone who is going to be even more upset than I (sorry, Jon!).

Hoping I can keep him still long enough tonight to attempt to even it out!!!
