Well, I finally got round to doing something about my ridiculous lopsided haircut last week, booking an appointment with hair-styling superstars Toni&Guy.
"Who will be cutting it?" I asked the receptionist. "Toni, or Guy?". But they both must've been on holiday or something because I was assigned someone else instead.
"Can you make both sides the same length, please?" I asked him, nicely.
"No problem," he said, hacking off all the beautiful curls from each side of my head and leaving the back a little longer. Great. Because what I really want when I visit my love in California next month is a bloody mullet.
Pfft. It took me months to grow out my last stupid boy haircut and now I have to start all over again. Friends try to reassure me that I don't look like a boy at all (mostly by text message from abroad, without ever actually having seen it) but the lady at the swimming pool went and confirmed it yesterday by handing me a blue locker key for the men's changing room by mistake.
Arrfgle.

Dear She-Cub, HAIR GROWS!
ReplyDeleteI recently moved to Reykjavik. Are there many Irish over here? I´ve been 20 times before but only for short periods. It´s a different ballgame living here. still can´t muster the language!!
ReplyDeleteHi Gareth, welcome to Reykjavík.
ReplyDeleteHmm, not sure about the Irish people, I don't know of many. There is Truculent Horse of course, but she's only here during the summertime. And then there is Urður's sister's ex-husband, and my colleague's boyfriend's friend. But that's all I know.
You'll get used to the language. And by "get used to" I mean get used to never understanding anything.
She-wolf, I know, I know. I keep saying that over and over again like a mantra. I have less than four weeks til I go to California, so I'm hoping it's going to hurry up a bit.
show us a photo....go on .....you know you want to!
ReplyDeleteperhaps the lady in the locker has blepharitis...Not able to distinguish your gender...Zeb
ReplyDeleteNo photos, ever again. Not for 3 months anyway.
ReplyDeleteBuggar - you realise I came here to leave a comment requesting pictures ...
ReplyDeleteMullets are very popular where I live!
ReplyDeleteOr so the English tell me. I can't really spot them so easily myself. Maybe that's because loads of people have them in the states and they just look like regular old reds to me.
Rednecks - not commies.
(Which is an important distinction, considering where I live, lol!)
I'm sure you look beautiful, Annie!!
Everyone I know who goes to Toni and Guy ends up with a mullet. Everyone. And I'm from Canada. It's one big international mullet conspiracy there. I wish you had posted your intentions earlier and I could have warned you of the global crisis.
ReplyDeleteI got an unintentional mullet last year too (strangely, not from T and G). My sympathies, I know exactly how it feels.
ugh. I sympathise. But four weeks should be quite enough.
ReplyDeleteHello Annie. Excellent blog.
ReplyDeleteMullets in all forms, whether modern or old school, are to be abhorred. I sincerely hope you tore him a new one for doing that to you. Or at least scowled appropriately when he held up the mirror yoke.
That said, I'm sure you look lovely.
Thanks for getting back Annie. I´m from Ballina and been here as I said numerous times, the missus is from Seltjajarnarnes. Where are u from? What do u do?
ReplyDeleteAnyway all the best,
Gareth

Thanks Kav.
ReplyDeleteMullet has grown approximately 3mm since posting.
Gareth, I'm from Wales but some of my family are from Galway. I'm a graphic designer. What are you doing here?
Enjoy:

That's ridick.
ReplyDeleteSo you stand up, choke back the tears, say thank you and pay up?
ReplyDeleteSeriously girl... you are the customer and should take charge!
I've been in this position. It grows, I swear it does. And think of all the interesting things you'll learn about gender until then? ;)
ReplyDeleteYes JBJ, of course I did, I'm British!
ReplyDeleteWhat I wanted to say was, "Uh, so can you put it all back on a again now, because quite frankly, I hate it."
But that'd be impossible, and ridick, so I said nothing.
Hey Dylan. Excellent point. Hmm.
I say LONG LIVE THE MULLET.
ReplyDeletei am trying to grow mine into exactly that. my aim is to only have haircuts my children will mock me for in time to come.
welcome to the team. bravo!
xkx
Hello Kitty. Oh, that sounds ridick.
ReplyDeleteOh, and Annie, my mullet nightmare began almost exactly one year ago. Now I again have lovely, glorious, shoulder length locks. It's just sux having to wait for it to return. But by 4 months in, there was almost no trace of mullet left, so a few more weeks and it will start to be normal again.
ReplyDelete-Voice of (mullet) experience
I am 12 ans I love my mullet. It is about a quarter the way down my back and the front and sides are perfect
ReplyDeletemy godz annie, you must have been such a sexy boy!
