So, I've never really been a hair kinda guy. While I was growing up, I'd get my dad or mom to cut it and the first time I went to a real barber was once I hit university. I had it embarassingly long for a bit in high school but after I got over the whole "grunge" thing I opted to keep it short ever since. It's just easier that way and if it looks like shit I just wear a hat. Anyway, I've been going to this place close to my uncle's that cuts for 1000 yen or roughly 10 bucks ever since moving here. It's a mom and pop shop and they have a rotating staff of about 4 people. 1 really young guy who sucks, 1 middle-aged guy that also sucks and smells of liquor or cigarettes and 2 ladies that do a nice job but are lazy so they pass me off to either of the 2 guys whenever they get the chance. I went today and got the middle-aged guy (yaaay...) who gave me the wierdest cut so, yeah, hat for a week. I even had to trim hairs he missed once I got home. It's fucked! Anyway, the point of this post is that I've decided (next time) I need to dish out a bit and get a real haircut for once in my life.
