Tell me why for the first time ever, the barber decided to customize my haircut.
5 on the top, 3 on the side and cut with scissors on the front forehead to the hairline.
This person decided to give me steps and didn't even cut my sideburns. I wear glasses so I only see after it's cut but only saw it when I got home.
This is the worse haircut I have ever gotten. I never asked for the custom haircut. The only thing that is supposed to touch the side is a number 3 clippers thats all. Thats how it has always been done so I have no ideal what this person was doing. Im going back but not to the same person. Wow how do people cut hair like this???
