Later on my Dad remodeled our garage & made it into a Beauty Shop; a dream come to for me and my 3 sisters! (not so much my brother LOL) Like you, I had to endure many "short trendy" cuts as a child, and I have years of school photos to prove it! UGH!<BR/><BR/>And, like you, later on I began giving haircuts. I think I started with my hubby and then a few of his buddies, etc. When our son came along of course I cut his too. To this day (he's now 23), I think he's only had 2 "professional" cuts, both of which were terrible! Through the years I acquired many "regulars" and I could never figure out why they kept coming back each month?? The only guarentee I gave was that their hair would be shorter when they left than when they arrived!!<BR/>I never thought of using the "brain surgery" line...but perhaps they did!!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the memories--<BR/>BertieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18817460.post-89347976694319025542008-12-31T07:37:00.000-06:002008-12-31T07:37:00.000-06:00I would not be brave enough to cut anyone's hair. ...I would not be brave enough to cut anyone's hair.

In fact, after I was born my parents lived with my grandparents for 6 weeks while mom finished her courses. <BR/><BR/>My mom rolled my curly frizzy hair on huge curlers so I could sit under the huge dryer and sleep on the huge curlers all night to wake up to still damp hair that would frizz the moment I walked out the door. <BR/><BR/>One of my most horrifying memories was when my sister was born. My hair was unruly and mom wanted something easy to take care of. She gave me a short boy cut. We still talk about how I stood on the bed to look in the mirror (I was 4 1/2), then collapsed on the bed while crying, "I'm gonna get a new mama who doesn't cut hair!!" In my teen years, we ironed my hair on an ironing board with a clothes iron and SCORCHED it. Yeah.<BR/><BR/>LOVE these pictures of your son. Good job on the cut. Your boy looks just like mine when my mom cuts his hair (I don't touch anyone's hair). He's now going through the 'I'm letting my hair grow' stage so he won't have to have a haircut.<BR/><BR/>ReneeSouthern Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06101132263339427001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18817460.post-6050339220468719212008-12-30T19:33:00.000-06:002008-12-30T19:33:00.000-06:00Wow.

Now the big boys cut their own or each other's hair. Lots of times it looks crappy and they still think it's better then letting mom do it.<BR/><BR/>It must be warm at your house.
