Difference between good haircut and bad haircut......
Comments (15)Thank God I've never had a bad haircut.. They say a good haircut is when YOU notice the cut but noone else does. I think that's true. I've had many cuts that I've loved yet others have just noticed a 'trim'. Years ago, I used to go to a hair salon that was run by a guy that played in a popular band in the Miami area. He also was a stylist and was very good. I arrive one morning for my haircut and he sits me in the chair and whispers in my ear that I should leave. I looked at him in the mirror and he winks my way and tells me he'd had a 'gig' the night before, had drunk too much and done drugs and was still not totally with it. Told me that he was afraid to hurt me! I felt horrible but grateful that he was honest enough with me. Did I ever go back?? Heck yeah! Great hairdressers are hard to find. I just learned to check him out real good first before I sat in that chair!...See MoreMy boys haircuts OMG
Comments (151)You did not create this drama. Alcohol abuse created this drama. I have little doubt it was the alcohol that spoke up about a Mohawk. And I am grateful you are willing to be open with everyone here. I find the kitchen table a nice place to share ideas, learn new things and best of all make new friends. Kind words from strangers on this screen have meant a great deal to me. As for a second rate soap opera, well why on earth would someone waste her time watching that if she had something better to do?

Comments (30)Hey Rockwhisperer, saw your harvest and i am pretty sure you'll need to work harder this time. After going through the comments and your post, I thought maybe suggest you some keypoints that you can keep in mind while planting Garlic. Garlic can be planted in the spring as soon as the ground can be worked, but fall planting is recommended for most gardeners. Garlic roots develop in the fall and winter, and by early spring they can support the rapid leaf growth that is necessary to form large bulbs. Ensure soil is well-drained with plenty of organic matter. Select a sunny spot. A sandy, clay loam is best. In heavier soil, plant it in raised beds that are two to three feet wide and at least 10 to 12 inches tall. In areas that get a hard frost, plant garlic as early as 6 to 8 weeks before the first expected fall frost date, before the ground freezes. The timing may vary with local climate; the aim is to give a long enough period before the ground freezes for the plant to develop good roots, but not enough time to for it to form top growth before freezing temperatures set in. In northern climates, planting is usually between September and November. In southern areas, February or March is a better time to plant. Lime the soil if you haven’t done so recently. Before planting cloves, work a couple tablespoons of 5-10-10 complete fertilizer, bone meal or fish meal into the soil several inches below where the base of the garlic will rest. Select healthy large clovers, free of disease. The larger the clove, the bigger the bulb you will get the following summer. Break apart cloves from bulb a few days before planting, but keep the papery husk on each individual clove. Do not plant cloves from the grocery store. They may be unsuited varieties for your area, and most are treated to make their shelf life longer, making them harder to grow. Instead, get cloves from a mail order seed company or a local nursery. Place cloves 2 to 4 inches apart and 2 inches deep, in their upright position (the wide root side facing down and pointed end facing up). Plant in rows spaced 10 to 14 inches apart. A single 10-foot row should yield about five pounds of the fragrant bulbs. In the spring, as warmer temperatures come, shoots will emerge through the ground.

Comments (42)To the OP, sorry that happened to you. Nothing can ruin a month or two, or even three (!) like a bad haircut. I'm a hair stylist 30+ years. It's time to find a new stylist. You've been ghosted by your old one. She's telling you, without telling you, that she doesn't want to work on you anymore. Do not reach out to her anymore. Look on Yelp for a new hair stylist for yourself. It's a useful resource. Start fresh and look forward. Give the current haircut time to grow out and get a little overgrown and then go in for a haircut--with a different stylist. The new person will need to have something to work with. One bad haircut can happen to anyone. Twice in a row is a pattern. Time to start over with someone new. Wishing you better luck next time. Hugs Edit to add: Bring in a photo of yourself when you had a haircut you liked. Also, and more important, bring in a photo of yourself when you had a h/c you did NOT like. Visuals on the actual person are useful. Visuals on a person who is not you and has a different hair type, head shape, body mass, etc...are not too helpful in my experience. It's like apples to oranges....See Moretheforgottenone1013 (SE MI zone 5b/6a)
