I got my hair cut today. 

I went to the salon on base...the last time I went there the woman cut it too short, and it took me 2 months to grow it out.  She's Korean, and her English isn't the greatest, so I attributed the bad cut to the language barrier.

This time I decided to take a picture in so she could see what I wanted.  I asked her to not take it too short, said I really liked the length of it but wanted to lose some of the bulk. Mistake.  She cut it...and cut it, and then cut some more.  One side was drastically shorter than the other, and she was going to let me get up out of the chair like that until I asked her if she was going to even it out. She didn;t follow the picture I had sitting in my lap, she just got razor and scissor happy and hacked away.

Basically, I have the same bad haircut now that I did the last time I went to her.  It seems that she knows how to do one short hairstyle...a 'pixie'.  Any of you that are familiar with hairstyles will know what that looks like.  It's short. Very short. I have a few little wispy bits around my ears and the back of my neck so I don't look completely masculine, but it's still uneven.  I'm going to cut it myself later...there's no way in hell I'm going back to have her even it out.  I'd come out of there balder than I am no!

So, I'm sporting a pixie, and I'm not very happy about it.  I keep telling myself that it's only hair, that it will grow back - but my husband's coming home in 3 days and I'm stuck with this horrible haircut, and there's nothing I can do about it. It's not that it doesn't suit me, it's just not what I wanted. 

Thank god for hats, that's all I can say!

dharma,

I'm willing to bet that after all this time away, your haur will be the LAST thing your hubby notices...


Not the hair on my head, anyway......hehehehe......

Yes, that's right....you probably don't have much hair at all, do ya? Are they still mandating the 'high and tight' or have you gone the whole hog and taken it all off?  I'm not sure if AF personnel are allowed to shave their heads yet, I think it;s still considered a 'faddish' style.

As for having short hair....it's great.  I'm a low maintenance kinda grl, so having short hair suits me...I wash it, towel dry it, then run some wax or gel through it...and I'm done! 

I did find a couple of patches this evening where she's cut it really unevenly....so I'm going back tomorrow to show the salon manager.  I don't want her to fix anything; that will involve more cutting and I don't want that...but I do want to show her how fucked up it is.

OK . . . I just have to say that "high and tight" military haircuts are totally hot. My husband is so sexy with his "squared away" haircut and BDUs and shiny boots. I miss him so much.

Ahah, a kindred spirit!  I too find high and tights extremely attractive.  Dave irons and startches his BDU's and shines his boots as well.....I totally agree, there's nothing like a man in a well presented uniform!


When does he come back, Wahine?

on Aug 10, 2004
He has R&R in early January . . . about 20 weeks from now, I think. It feels like he's been gone forever, though.

I had some friends staying with me for a week or so, and they both wanted me to hook them up with a soldier. We had many a conversation about how hot military men are!

Oh, this summer about killed me.  I swim a lot, and the outdoor pool was my haven in the afternoons...OMG, you should have seen the eye candy there!  Half naked military men...all wet and glistening.  I took books to read while my kids played, and I don't think I read but 2 pages the whole summer...too busy looking at all the active duty hotties!


I'm taking my husband there after he comes home this weekend so I can ogle him instead!

They just opened up the pool here, maybe I should go?

Oh yeah, I'd highly recommend it......take a book and a pair of mirrored sunglasses - that way they won't know you're checking them out....

on Aug 10, 2004
Yeah . . . the last thing I need to have to tell my husband is that I was involved in a catfight that started when another wife saw me checking out her hot husband!

Actually, though, with the deployment many of the men of ogling value are long gone. I have this photo taken of my husband (and his company) when he arrived in country, and he is at the front of the group with shades on and his gun on his shoulder, walking with such purpose. So hot!

*Taking Notes*

How to look insanely attractive to the female species....

01. Grab Razor and Apply to head in one over-the-top manic procedure that leaves you standing in what looks like the cats malting spot
02. Go to the Military Surplus store and buy an incredibly tight set of fatigues... that cling to the bulging muscles I don't have
03. Get a license to buy the biggest F###ing gun I can find
04. Buy pair of Oakleys Sunnies and stuff a wallet full of green paper that looks like money
05. Buy digital camera and take lots of pictures which you post to your personal website so that many women can come and oggle

06. Sit back and watch the hits role in, and remember to hire personal secretary to filter the crazy amount of text messages on your cell number from sexy single women wanting a date....

Or I could just be my suave and handsome self and keep searching for the 'one for me' in my lunch breaks....

How did this thread turn from haircuts to women admiring men in uniform? ^_~ Don't mind if you do though, trade secrets are always good to know.

4D: You should publish that list. It could help a lot of unkempt, lonely guys out!

While us unkempt not lonely guys are laughing our asses off at the guys who think a uniform, gun, oakleys and a "military haircut" will erase any personality deficits...lol

Good point. But still . . . you gotta love a guy in uniform. Well, you don't, actually, but . . . what was my point again?
