Thursday Thoughts: How Bad Is Getting a Great Clips Haircut?

HI ya Gorgeous,
It's Thursday, and I was going to post about a new beauty product I received and then some upcoming events, though this, couldn't wait and I think it could benefit from being addressed.



What to do about a bad haircut? How do you  rectify it with the stylist at the salon? Who hasn't had a bad haircut? I received the worst haircut of my life last May for my birthday. I live in the Tri- State area of Arizona and I went to a salon in Bullhead City called Studio 11 - whoa - that girl butched myI hair so bad with crooked bangs and layers I didn't ask for.





Today I write about my experience with the Great Clips in the Mohave Crossing shopping center of Bullhead City, or technically, Mohave Valley.  I have been taking my son there for several months.  At 3 weeks on the dot he needs a hair cut to keep his hair at a regulation length for his squadron. Our normal gal was not there and a new gal called him to the chair for a cut. I showed her the photo I keep on my phone of the best barber cut in the world from 12th St Barber in Parker.  Why don't I take him there? Because it's 2 hours and 20 minutes away - we only go there when we are visiting in that town. 




The thing about Great Clips is that it's a fast and inexpensive place to get a hair cut and many a beauty school student gets their start there.  On this occasion an older woman who would not give her name, cut my son's hair - and when she did, she cut 3 large blocky chunks into the side and back of his head with a hole towards the occipital bone.

The physical hair cut is grotesque and his head has been shaved close to cut out the large gaps, though that isn't the worst part. 

It's the service. 


Am I wrong as a customer to want my son's haircut to be even and not have a hole cut into the back of his hair? It looked like the back of Neo's head in the Matrix -like - "insert plug here". Because he is a kid, does that make him less of a customer? Or his money less valuable?

The hairstylist clapped back in anger that "she is a big time stylist from the big city and isn't used to doing small podunk town hair". Oh.


So that's it.

People in small towns deserve bad hair cuts and worse service?

Another stylist tried to fix it before surmising the only fix was a shaving...and even then the big time stylist from the big city continued to cuss me for calling out her sloppy unskilled small town hatin' hair cut.

Stylists, how would you have handled the situation?Please let me know in the comments.


Personally ...I am this "-" close to buying a Flowbee and cutting it myself!

Wine Wednesday - Whoops Edition

Hi ya Gorgeous!

It's a favorite day of the week - Wine Wednesday~!
What's in your cup? Oh my cup. It's dizzy. I have been struggling with and living with extreme dizziness since February 3rd. It's so bizarre.



So my love for all things wine have greatly been curtailed - to just a wee cup. Gone are the glorious full goblets of delicious wine. Who ever heard of getting dizzy for dizzy sake anyways?

The dizzy got me a wine I hadn't quite planned on and you can see more of that in this video.

 



I'll tell you what being dizzy all the time will do for you - it will make you distracted!

Enjoy the video and please let me know what wine you are drinking and enjoying! I need to live vicariously!

TGIF - What Will You Watch This Weekend?

Hi ya Gorgeous
Hello to a Friday post! Oh the weekend! Such sweet relief from the mega school commute.  Is it summer vacation yet?



I write today to ask you what will you and the fam be watching this weekend? So I have an invitation for you as well as a movie review for you today in this post.

First, if you are in the Tri-State area of Kingman/Bullhead City/ Needles/ Laughlin - come join me on March 28th for a sneak peek screening of Unplanned.  Oh this is going to tug some heart strings! It's a true story based on the life of Abby Johnson. She was once the rising star of Planned Parenthood until she saw what happens behind the curtain! It is a must see!




Unplanned film goes nationwide on March 29th - BUT - there are hundreds of sneak peek screenings happening nationwide, like mine, in Laughlin Nevada at the Riverside Resort and Casino Cinemas at 7 pm on  Thursday March 28th.  Come early at 6:30 pm for prayer in the theater before the screening starts.

To find a sneak peek screening near you - or, even to schedule a theater buyout and screen for your group, friends and family, find what you need here on the Unplanned film website.

Visit here for more info: https://www.unplannedfilm.com/


So that's what you are watching next week but what are you watching this week? Well, I have a review of the Christopher Robin movies. Yes, plural, movies as in more than one.



There is the new Disney version, Christopher Robin starring Ewan McGregor and then there is the more biographical film, Goodbye Christopher Robin film starring Margot Robbie, Domnhall Gleeson and Kelly Macdonald by Gasworks Media.

As a child, I loved Winnie the Pooh, and Tigger too! All the friends of the 100 acres woods were "friends" of mine and I loved the books and stories and shows. Oh such beautiful memories. If you too have children, it's possible that they have seen, heard or read Winnie the Pooh. So that's where the mix up comes in. Both of these films ar every adult in tone and nature. Sad. Depressing.  Nothing that you would show a child and think that they would find joy and delight in, like Winnie the Pooh himself.



Goodbye Christopher Robin deals with the life of the child growing up during the war and his father writing the stories and them becoming famous. As the film tells it, Winnie the Pooh's success made life very difficult for young Christopher Robin.

I did like the film, but it's not something that I would want my child to watch.

I did not know enough about the Disney version of Christopher Robin and when my son saw the avatar on Netflix, he of course wanted to watch. I said yes, expecting a fun silly kid movie about live action Pooh bear, Piglet, Owl, Kanga, Roo, Eeyore and Tigger.


No. No not at all. It's a sad tale of a man overworking, ignoring the family and being absent in his life. 90 % of the film is sad and a harsh tale of life and then 10% in the very end is the rallying of adult Christopher Robin to his young daughter and wife with the help of the 100 acres wood gang of friends.

Just not family material.  Which brings me to close - next week's screening of Unplanned, is, family material. It's a chance to heal for those affected by abortion and find hope.  The film has an R rated, so please, bring your youth groups, young people and sit through the film and be available for discussion afterwards. You'll be glad you were the one to teach them about life instead of the world shaping their opinions for them!

See you at the movies!


These are few of my family's favorites!
