so today i was cutting hair as usual and i totally cut my hand! it bled ridiculously and had to run upstairs to get a band-aid (waterproof ariel of course), and i was reminded of my dark days working for a chain store that will remain nameless but for all intents and purposes we will call nickel snips...anyway, i was cutting this little boys hair. he was no more than 2.5 years old and he was freaking out...screaming, crying and moving every which way. now i really love kids...but i did not love this one! after like 15 minutes and only finishing 1/4 of the haircut, i knew i wasn't getting a tip. his mom was so clueless, the whole time she was laughing and saying stuff like 'wow, he is mad' or 'i don't think he wants his haircut'...not trying to calm him down at all! i almost quit when...i was about to snip and the little 'dear' moved his head and i cut a 1 inch gash into my poor little hand. i knew it was bad cause i felt it for one, and two it hurt instantly! so i muttered to the mom that i had cut myself and i would be right back. in the back room i could not get it to stop bleeding. i used the liquid band-aid solution and 2 band-aids just to keep it from dripping blood...it was ridiculous!
i went back finished a half aced haircut and sent them on their way confirming my suspicions of no tip! how is it that some people can be so clueless and so retarded all at the same time! i think i even ended up crying cause like buddy the elf would say 'my hand had a heartbeat'! after that i refused to cut any child that even started to cry. i would make the mom's calm/bribe them into cooperativeness before i touched their head.
