Feng Swish

[cris]

FengSwish1 at Liquid Hair Studios has been my hair stylist since 2001. It seems like a terribly non-heterosexual male thing to have a stylist as opposed to a barber, but that's just the whole gender/identity politics thing getting in the way. I don't worry about it, and if one feels a need to attach a label to it, you could say that our divergent

you should tell him that you want a Caesar cut just to see what his reaction would be.

damn baby, whatya do to your hair????

is fengswish, jason?

while the kid who i went to (brian?) decided that a few inches below the shoulder meant barely touching it, i was watching jason and his clients..he seems to be the only guy in there with real...how shall i say it, pizazz without leaning towards the too mod for comfort ideal...i like how he cuts hair...not too keen on the styling of it though; i think mostly 'cause, like most other stylists, he doesn't pay attention to the shape, color, and complexion of the face and just styles it the way vogue's new supermodel wears it.

so it's sort of a stealth cut ... in broad daylight it's pretty much the same style I've had for the last few months, except a little more trim and neat on the sides and back ... but with a strategic use of hairspray, I can spike the back like mishak's and re-part the front and have it do that anime thing where the hair covers half the face

i guess the way i worded it was confusing..he did cut off more than i had wanted.

so i don't think he's learned his lesson at all..

in fact, now that i know he's done this to other people i am inclined to think he's part of a huge conspiracy to rid the world of long hair!

cool hair rules! go cris!

[cris]

indeed :)

[brigid]

why not name names so your hairstylist gets good press?

[frederic]

He's afraid he won't be able to get an appointment slot when he wants next time if he does.

Hmm... all the things I miss because I've been cutting my own hair for the past 8 years. Then again, all of the money I've saved is another good point I guess...

[brigid]

so he's just hoarding his secret weapon for luring in the opposite sex. not very altruistic of him

i think i might try cutting my own hair this week

[cris]

nah, just force of habit. Coming up with pseudonym is half the fun of making the post.

[shnells]

i was just thnking i need to get my haircut :) i am flirting with getting all my hair chopped off. it's so aggravating. but then i think of all the time it took to grow.......

[cris]

I like your hair long, personally. I think jason does, too. But I also know he's got a mad fetish for cutting short hair. There's this odd gleam in his eye whenever he talks about cutting mishak's hair short.

[badriyaz]

I know for a fact that jason likes shnells hair long and would probably refuse to cut it short ;-) He does like working on long hair too--maybe the fetish is just for cutting boys' hair short.

btw, did you hear that the Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus author was just busted for totally inventing his academic background?

[cris]

no, but I think that's awesome. the people who swore by his books annoyed the hell out of me.
