All to Save a Dollar...

I think it's funny to look back today at where I started and how I started this "hobby".  So about 10 years ago I decided I needed to learn how to cut men's hair. I've always wanted to be a hairstylist- but when I was younger my parents frowned upon that idea thinking that I would be around chemicals all day long. I actually even had an apprentice offer for a hair salon in Elm Grove.  Who knows where I'd be today. :)  I wonder if I'd end up with a Snookie bump and look like one of the gals out of Jersylicious?  Who knows. :) LOL. 

Anyways- I bought a Wahl haircut kit from Target or maybe it was Sally Beauty Supply that came with a video.  I started watching about 5 minutes of it and then gave up and got my little brother to come out and let me practice on him instead of watching a dumb outdated video.  I think back to that now and can't believe he trusted me to "practice" on his head!  Brian thank you for your trust in me! :) 

So believe it or not my haircuts turned out pretty good if I don't say so myself!  I've had LOTS of practice and have pretty much been cutting everyone in my families hair and have cut hair for MANY of our friends through out the years. 

When I first met Ben I told him I could cut his hair. He thought I was crazy and way too scared to let me cut his hair!  It was funny because I literally had to talk him into it. I said "listen I'm sooooo confident that I can cut your hair just like the pros that if I mess up or it's not to your liking I'll pay for you to go to ANY hair stylist to do it right!" And he agreed. :) He was shocked that I didn't disappoint him.  Yup just another little "hobby" of mine. :)

I just think I save us sooooo much money on him not going to get a hair cut every month that it helps make up for my hair cuts & hair dyes! :) 

So today I was giving Ben a haircut and Charlotte just sat there the entire time watching me.  (She normally tries to eat the hair that falls to the floor.) Today she was good.  When I was done with Ben's haircut she immediately hoped up on the chair and sat there like it was her turn to get a haircut. :) So I put the apron on her and she just sat there.  What a goofy cat.  I love her though.  Here's to saving on haircuts every month and a cute kitty to sit there and pose for the camera in her apron. :)

Happy Wednesday!

Ben's first haircut from me in September of 2008.  Him sooooo afraid! :)

Kitty ready for her haircut.
