It's Only Hair, Right?

Made a big mistake this weekend. This past week, I was at my hair suicide point (I have the scissors in hand and I'm going to start cutting!) I asked several friends where they go for haircuts (my "regular" hair girl moved) and had one salon mentioned twice. Gold! I called and made an appointment for Saturday. When I walked into this "salon", I realized I had made a grave mistake. Carenza is a hip salon in Brookfield, where several stylists work. I was looking forward to the scalp massage...I walked into a basement office building into a one-room business run by a woman in her late fourties. Her business is named Carizma. Slip of the tongue = bad haircut. I didn't have the nerve to tell her, "uh, think I have the wrong place...". I didn't actually realize my mistake until she told me about how many people mix up Carizma and Carenza while she was washing my hair (close in names; also both located on the same street). She cut my bangs really weird (lower half are super short and all one length, next layer is longer and uneven...more like I like it)...overall, my haircut in too short. Oh well, it will grow back, right? A word to the wise....CARENZA!
