10 Thoughts British Men Have When Getting A Haircut
6. The Soul-Destroying Realisation That It's Too Short
With every trip to the hairdresser, a man takes a gamble with his physical appearance for the few weeks after. They either go home satisfied, or go home cursing at what has happened to them.
When it is the latter, there is unfortunately little that can be done but wait for it to grow out. But the initial two weeks where your hair stays roughly the same can be the most agonising two weeks in self-confidence. You wanted to look clean for a job interview, or fresh for a night out, but you've actually ended up looking like a cartoon pineapple.
Somehow by saying "Just a little off the top" was misheard by the hairdresser as "I want people to see my scalp", and the result is something you regretfully have to live with.
