“I got the worst haircut,” he lamented.
This got my attention. What guy ever complains loudly about a haircut? Not since the mythical days of glorious manes of boy hair (gone with the death of 80’s heavy metal), have I heard a male of our species say that they have had a bad haircut. But that’s what he was saying. So you can imagine I was even more shocked to hear that he had a bad eyebrow cut.
Apparently boys can get their eyebrows cut at the barbers. It’s one of those services that must shock you, especially the first time it’s offered to you. Something tells me it’s not something that the 20-somethings get asked. But I’m finding out recently that there is a great deal more to keeping up appearances after the age of 30. Knowledge I did not want to have. Should have stayed in the confines of the barber shop.
Eyebrow cuts at the barbers’ aren’t exactly what I envisioned them to be, based on my girl-knowledge of the art. As with everything else in a barber shop, eyebrow cuts are utilitarian and straight-forward. Apparently my coworker was simply sitting in the chair getting a trim when his forehead was violently attacked by a comb and some clippers. The deed was done (at least an eye) by the time he even had time to react. Not the same eyebrow maintenance experience I’ve heard from the ladies.
I’m kind of for it. Eyebrow maintenace for women is just too much for me. I’m just hoping I don’t get offered an eyebrow shave at the salon.
