...just like a Punter

So...reading Punters comments on their frustration when it comes to service discussed and promised and then the failure of being delivered once behind closed doors , makes me smile.
My latest such frustration was not too long ago and out of the sensual space.
Thank goodness hair grows and questionable hairdressers can be forgiven but, not revisited .
I loved his aura, I loved his confidence and knowledge and feel of his hands as he washed my hair etc.
I was confident he would know to cut my hair "that specific way".
And as he cut and snipped and thinned (which I had said no to) ... I heard about him being a dress designer and a make-up artist and a stylist and now learning to be a photographer....fear gripped me.
I closes my eyes and let him snip away because it now had to be finished no matter what
"May I ask...are u a hairdresser or more of an...aspiring artiste?"
"Uhm...the least of all of the things I do is a hairdresser bla bla bla ........"
Fuck.
It didn't look bad but it has taken a few months to be able to go to another hairdresser, needing length and shape it in the severe sharp cut I prefer.
Should I have said anything? Most probably yes. ...but, then again i know i am quite specific when it comes to me and things around me .and thus I understand sometime when Punters feel frustrated and wish they had just walked away or simply said something . Maybe the hope being it lays only with self and others experience will be better.

Hey Leigh.
How right u are about a hairstyle being defining.
I did pay. He was in seventh heaven during the whole "hair sculpture"...his words.
And I learnt a lesson...again...trust ur instinct and move on!
Wishing u an awesome day!
