'When I have a brand new hairdo/ with my eyelashes all in curls/ I float as the clouds on air do...'

I called this morning to make an appointment to get my hair cut and started wondering about what the hiring process is like in a salon.

"Yes, hmmm. I can see from your application that you were raised by Vidal Sassoon. And you won the Nobel Prize in Hairstyling last year. And it says here that you worked with <insert name of another famous hair-person because seriously, srah don't know crap about hair>, who called you "the greatest hair-cutter the world has ever seen. Seriously, if Jesus came back as a stylist, he would be she." Very interesting.

"But see, the problem is, we already have someone named Amy here. So just don't see how we can hire you. Clients will get confused when they call if there are two Amys. Do you have a middle name or something you can go by? Yes? Oh, I'm sorry - we already have a Megan. And a Meg. And a Meganmeganbobeganbananafannafofegan. Yeah, I can see this isn't really going to work out. I'm sorry. Best of luck."

I don't know my haircutting lady's last name. Luckily it wasn't an issue. Do you know yours? Do salons ever have two people with the same name? What do they do?

Mine is named Ashley. But who cares, it's all about the shampoo boy. His name is Ty and I love him.

I go to BoRicks and whoever is there and available cuts my hair so I don't need to know a name. Do they have last names? I thought they dropped them once they got thru hair cutting school.

Sorry, should I have written whomever is there and available rather than whoever? 8-|

I dunno... for someone who goes around correcting people's grammar all the time, I am woefully ignorant about grammar.

Mine is Arnie. He's gay and I love him. He's seen me through high school and college. He cuts all my best friends' hair too!
