Today, I decided to save a few bucks and let my mother cut my hair. I then had to wait in the hospital for attention due to the fact that she cut the tip of my ear off. FML

At least it was cheaper than plastic surgery. No, but seriously, this is why you usually let professionals cut your hair:) Usually a better job, but more expensive. But at least you get the medical attention needed, so you will be fine. Fyl though But the hospital bill is probably a little expensive. I know nothing of the American health system

Thank you for the honest reply 18:) Sometimes I hate not explaining enough and be misunderstood so. And it's a nice way to excercice my English skills. So I mostly win on those comments.

Would have made a great mother's day story. That's why they don't let moms do much on Mother's day I guess.

As a budding cosmetologist, I'm going to have to go with ydi on this one. I know it seems like cutting hair should be super simple if you just need a trim, but there's more to it than just a pair of scissors and snipping away at the dead ends. We use expensive ass scissors for a reason (I'm talking like $400 for a cheaper professional grade sheer), we also have about two years of schooling for a reason, one of them being so we don't cut ears off. Even I was surprised when I saw what exactly my classes will entail, everyone expects beauty school to be an easy way out, but it's really not.

33, sorry to ask, but what happens after 2 years of schooling? Do you have your degree then? Or do you need additional years? And the fun thing is that barbers used to do some surgery as a part of their trade or something :) But here in Norway, you need 2 years of school, and 2 years at least of apprenticeship before you get your degree, unless you're talented ofc

In the states we require anywhere from 1000-2000 hours of cosmetology school and then we take a state board test and are licensed. And the thing about the 400 dollar shears is bullshit. You can actually find professional grade shears for anywhere between 150-250, depending on the style of shears you prefer to cut with.

That same thing happened to me when I was 8. I now have a flat spot on the top of my right ear...

If you want to save a few bucks than just learn on how to cut ur own hair. Well that's wat I do at least. N sorry about wat ur mom did. How could she even cut ur ear? Is she blind?

I used to complain about the rice bowl hair cuts my mom used to give me. Now I don't feel so bad about them anymore.
