I had a stranger in Healdsburg cut my hair off. Her name was Sheila. She had short, pink hair and looked very funky, so I figured I was in good hands. The woman sitting next to me was her client getting dyed - EVERYWHERE - and waiting till I was done to have Sheila style her hair. At first she was nice, exclaiming, "Wow, that looks great!" It sounded somewhat genuine. However, when prodded, (I said, "You're witnessing history here!") she had to elaborate and be a passive aggressive bitch. Her response? "It really looks good. It's much more 'contemporary'." And I swear I saw a "wink."
So in other words, I needed to be "updated." Amazing how some women can't just pay a compliment, huh? Meanwhile, we won't discuss what she looked like and my very subtle, yet biting, responses that stayed in my head, like, perhaps you should spend less time in a salon chair and more time off your ass losing some weight. Ooooooh, I am a nasty, nasty person.
