24-Hour Mullet

I will be the first to admit that I do feel bad for Nick when it comes to his hair. Don't get me wrong-I LOVE his hair. It is fun to play with, and it seems to be his signature trademark besides his southern accent. However, when it comes to getting his hair cut---all the things he and I hate about it come out. Nick's #1 complaint is that no one knows how to cut his hair because it is similar in texture (very coarse) to an African Americans. So when he goes into a Supercuts type place he says that the young girls with the bleach blonde hair attempting to cut his curly locks always butcher his head. So he knows that for two weeks after his hair is cut it is going to always look BAD.

So this last week I tell Nick, "Okay, two weeks before my brothers wedding you need to get your hair cut now so it will look presentable for pictures." He agrees and says he is going to try a new place. So, he goes to an actual barbershop thinking that they will know how to better cut curly hair. So $26 later (which I think is a lot for a mens haircut) Nick calls me at work to tell me he LOVES his new hair. He is so excited because finally he found a guy to cut his hair who has the same hair as him, and knew exactly what to do with it. I am all excited to get home from work so I can see this 'great' haircut.

I opened the door to find this.....a MULLET! And the saddest part is here I am all upset that he paid money for this haircut, and NO way is he having this party in the back haircut---and Nick was dead serious about loving it. He thought it was something fun and different to have for summer. I continued to reassure him that it looked redneck all the way. I was surprised at how mad I actually got. Lol. Thankfully, I can laugh about it now.

So, needless to say the next day Nick went and got another haircut ($20 bucks) and a total of $46 dollars later we have his hair back to the usual- way too short on the sides, but give it two weeks and it will look good- haircut. Uhh--and too think I somehow agreed that after the wedding he can do whatever he wants with it. Sigh. Sidenote---the pictures above don't do justice to how short it was on the sides and how long the back and front were.

Yes, the pictures were taken after the $26 haircut! A curly mullet--only 24 hours long thankfully. No after pictures, sorry---but a week later we are almost back to looking normal.
