me, every time: no, listen, i want to look boyish. i am asking for a boy’s haircut specifically because I want to look boyish. i want you to cut my hair boyishly, like you would cut the hair of a person who is a boy, in order to emphasize their boyness.
them, every time: Ohhh, you mean like
a pixie cut?
I do not know how to cut hair. But if anyone needs it I’ll find a pair of clippers and help you. How hard can it be?
I go to a Great Clips or whatever and tell them I want a 2 in the sides and a 4 on top. The lady who works there has been cutting hair for a million years, and she shrugs and says, “Ok.”
