Arrrrgggggghhhhhh !!

I got my haircut !! Arrrrrghhhh !! That’s all I can say !!

I’m traumatized !!!! You know how some say you know you’re a transsexual when you get irritated over missing an electrolysis session …

Well, here’s another clue … when your stylist cuts off WAY TOO MUCH hair and you want to cry !!!!!!

I’ll be okay … I know …

It’ll grow back … I know …

I still don’t need to wear a wig … I know ….

But right now … I want to cry !!

I miss my pony-tail !!!!

I knew I had to get my hair cut back some …

I was having a serious issue maintaining it in an acceptable boy-look for work …

I was really starting to look non-professional during the day … heck … there’s only so much hair bondo can do !!

But I didn’t want to get it cut back too much because … lazy-Amy likes being able to have kute girl hair with just a ponytail and strategically placed strands of hair falling in my face

Nonetheless … I’ve got a couple of more months that I have to stick through … and I know I had to do something ….

So on the advice of many female friends who know nothing about my transsexualism,

Who hate my longer hair, but are willing to accept it if I rein it in some …

I booked an appointment with the owner of a very popular, fashionable salon …

I booked it about two weeks ago … ’cause ya know … he’s so popular …

So … I show up … and after being offered every conceivable drink available on the planet (Aim’s drink of choice, low-cal H20, purified of course !! 🙂 ) …

I read the rules of the salon and waited for my appointment …

So this strapping, gay (my friend who referred me to him is convinced I’m gay, so she pointed out I needed a gay man with taste to do my hair), personable man comes out … introduces himself … and takes me to his Station No. 1 …. ’cause, he’s the owner …

So then he says … “Let’s talk about your hair and what we want to do with it.”

I say, in light of quite a few people being around there at that time … “Could we go to another station and discuss it with a little more privacy?”

He’s agrees … where I say …

“ … I have an hair issue. I wear my hair somewhat long for a man, pretty much chin level and it’s very thick, I need it styled so that I can clean it up in a more presentable, professional look while at work, but when I’m not at work, I need it cut in a more feminine style. I’m a transsexual, and though I’m still working as a man, I spend most of my non work time as a woman.” …

Whew … I said it.

And he picks right up on it and is incredibly cool …

I lay down the groundrules …

I need to clean up the look in boy-mode …

I understand we’ll have to cut some back …

And right now I like being lazy and just tying it up in a ponytail for the most part and that works well for me casual …

He says that with my thick hair … to get it to boy-mode clean … we’re going to have to lose the ponytail … but that he can style it so that it’ll be a much cuter bob and I can have some fun with a couple of options on the side …

*blink blink*

Okay.

So he starts to work … he’s incredibly personable … and was super kewl with talking kode when necessary to discuss what I could do, should do and what he was doing for each different mode …

And the head and neck massage before he started cutting was beyond amazing … I’m fairly certain that if I had already had my equipment corrected … I would of experienced a multiple …

And when he showed me my new look, before returning it to boy mode so I could leave …

It really did look cute … hair fell down the sides of my face nicely and the back had an acceptable layered look …

So I consoled myself …

I missed my pony-tail … but I’ll have it back before Christmas.

Though when I got home after work …

And tried to re-do the look … Aaaarrggggghhhh !!!!

It’s awful !!!!!

I want my pony-tail back.

This is a greater tragedy than if they opened a French consulate next door !!

Oh well …

Look on the bright-side …

It’s definitely a fem cut …

And it’ll grow out nicely …

Not to mention …

It’s nice knowing that I’ll never have to get another remotely boy-looking cut.

But still …

*blink, blink*

So anyways … Shaft has been bugging me to post some more recent pictures of me … “You really need to put some new pictures on your website … I’m tired of looking at those … they are really looking stale.”

So … seeing how I not only enjoy people laughing at me/with me, but also crying with me … maybe I’ll post some new pics of my latest style … so you can share in my misery !! 🙂

UPDATE: I’m completely amused with myself how angry I remain that I had anything done to my hair today !!

UPDATE UPDATE: Check out my June 23, 2003 regarding my hair … I so love my cut now !! Jeffrey rocks !!
