It’s been three and a half weeks since the bike accident.
My first day back at work went well. I had one small problem. What to do about the handshake? Over the past weeks when meeting someone for the first time I repectfully declined this custom since shaking hands caused me great pain. I greeted my new client yesterday. She enthusiasticly thrust her hand out for me to grab hold. Do I agree to the painful shake or refuse and come off as cold? Do I explain that I broke my arms, but I can still do her hair? Do I put one hand underneith and one on top to protect a possible agressive shaker? I felt a bit like I was stuck in an episode of Seinfeld where I would be known as the “soft shaker” or the “no shaker”. I asked my wife about this. She joked that we should have a T-Shirt made so I don’t have to explain myself.
I managed to do two haircuts with little pain. I worked slowly. I was
happy to hold scissors again. To my surprise I was able to use a round brush without difficulty. My new client was pleased with her cut. It’s nice to make people feel good again.
I met with another woman for the first time for a consultation. She didn’t like her hair texture and density. Which is quite different from someone who doesn’t like their haircut.
Each head of hair has unique properties. Hers was wavy, full, and frizzy. She wanted to magicly wake up to a wash and wear style that wouldn’t expand or frizz. She wanted a cut that would fall into an off the face curly style like an actress on the new 90210. There is not a hairstylist in the world that could accomplish this. I was honest that what she was looking for was not possible with scissors. I suggested a shorter style that would give her the update she desired.
