Question of the Day

Do hairdressers have to make a pledge or take an oath to beautify patrons? Well, they should.

“Hello, ma’am. How can I style your hair today?”

“Well, Paul, I have a big meeting Thursday and my birthday is this weekend. So, I’m torn.”

“I see, it’s tough to style hair to be appropriate for two separate and different occasions. Do you have anything particular in mind?”

“Yes, I ‘d like to keep it relatively short and professional in the front.”

“Okay, okay. I can do that.”

“But, I’d like to be long and fun, you know, like a party, in the back.”

“I think I have just the style for you!”

“Also, my husband is taking me to a NASCAR race next Saturday. Can you give me some pointers on how to style it real nice for that?”

“I sure can!”

And, scene. The story you have just read is fictional. Under my proposed Beautification Oath Act (if one doesn’t exist), Paul, the hair dresser in this scene, would have been stripped of his hair dressers certification and run out of town. Mulletification is something that should never ever happen in a beauty salon, barber shop, grandma’s kitchen with a flobee, or anywhere else. Ever.
