My Barber Decides my Haircut — A Disaster

The sun finally revealed itself after a whole week of rainy days. At last, I will now be able to feel the warmth again and can now enjoy going outside freely. Seeing my reflection in the mirror, I observed that my hair has grown long again. Since I'm going to attend a lot of meetings the following week to be reunited with families and friends, I thought that this is a great day for me to have a haircut!

Excitedly, I tried browsing for a different haircut that is suitable for my face shape thinking that it will also look good to me and also to try something different. After minutes of browsing different articles and pages, I have decided to have a 'classic fade' as my choice. I am not sure though if it will look good to me but I will not get the answer that I want if I wouldn't try it, right? With that, I stand up from our couch and ask my younger sister to prepare and accompany me. Luckily, my father also asked her to buy some bread at the bakery as our marina for today. He gave us 200 pesos or $3.59 as our budget. 100 pesos for my haircut and another 100 pesos for the bread.

After that, we go out and continue our journey to the market. I also bring my umbrella with me because even if I can see good weather ahead, that doesn't erase my doubts that it can rain at any moment. Am I paranoid? Nah! Just thinking of the possible scenarios that might happen. It is better to be ready than sorry and I always keep that in mind.

The public market is just a 5-10 minutes walk from us that's why hailing a tricycle or motorcycle is not necessary. In addition, walking for how many minutes will also be considered as our exercise for today. When we reached the barber salon, my sister and I parted ways because she will buy bread from the bakery. I on the other hand sit in the salon's receiving area since there is still a customer inside. After about 7 minutes, my sister came back carrying the bread inside the plastic. She then brings out her phone while waiting for my turn since she will be bored if she will do nothing and just stare at the ceiling.

30 minutes had passed, and it is now my turn to sit on the throne. The barber asked me to get inside and I immediately stand up, I ask my sister to wait for me shortly. She just nodded and continue playing with her phone.

Upon entering, I felt the cold air hit my skin. I'm glad that it is cold inside since the barber's salon is air-conditioned. Sweating profusely will not be my problem for a while. One moment, the barber then asked me what my haircut will be and I said that was just a classic fade. I also bring out my phone and let him see the haircut that I wanted for reference. When he saw the picture he said that there is a more suitable haircut for my face shape and I will surely look good at it.

Since their salon has a big reputation in our community, there is a lot of good feedback from customers and this is my fifth time to be in their salon so I said that I am willing to give it a shot since I am also trying a new haircut. After that, he then proceeds to cut my hair while we are having a little chit-chat with each other.

10 minutes had passed, and I notice that my hair from my sides is cut so short even on my top part ಥ‿ಥ I didn't bother to react or do something, I just sit there and let him finish the work. When he is now finished, I just keep my smile plastered on my face while seeing my new haircut in the mirror even if I want to cover my head to hide my embarrassment. My haircut is so short! And I don't like the result either. When my sister saw my haircut, she said that it does not suit me well. The haircut is good but not for my face shape.

With that, we went back home while I am carrying my embarrassment lol.

CLOSING THOUGHT

This is my first time experiencing this and I thought it will be a very good experience but to my disappointment, it is not. I promise myself not to do this challenge again and I will stick to what I want. All in all, even if I regretted this I'm saying to myself that my hair will grow back again and I don't need to worry about it. My only problem is that I have a lot of occasions to attend to the following week, what will I do? Lol.
