Taking note
I cut my husband's hair. Late
ly, it has become quite an
ordeal. He has thick, wavy hair,
almost a full head of it. He is
very protective about one spot.
Each time that my scissors get
close to it he says emphatically,
"Don't touch it."
The other day I noticed how
attractive his hair looked and
said cheerily, "That certainly is a
nice cut I gave you." He said,
"So you admit some of the
other ones weren't so great,
huh?" That comment has been
one of his milder ones.
I used to cut my brother's
hair. He has bone straight hair
— lots of it. It grows stubbornly
in one direction — down. One
time I told him that I was ready
to try out my new layering
techniques. He said, "Just don't
make me look like a Nazi."
After that session, he went
back to his old barber.
I still think that I have perfect
ly acceptable haircutting skills,
especially for an amateur. But
it's understandable that we all
suffer some degree of terror
when our hair is in the hands of
someone else.
Myself included.
I go to Sam every six weeks to
have my hair cut for $18 a shot at
one of the most upscale salons
in town. Sam is not only a licens

ed stylist, but he's also very
chic. He speaks with an accent,
dresses in designer clothes and
wears his hair swept up in a
New Wave version of Wally
Cleaver's Jelly-Roll. Last year he
spent $5000 on clothes. Stylists,
he explains, must stay at the
state-of-the-art in fashion. "It's
part of the business," he says. "I
try to get a tax write-off this
year."

Sam is also at the cutting edge
of hair fashion. He believes that
people express themselves, to a
great extent, through their ap
pearance. “Your hair,” he tells
me often, "It's so important.”
My hair, you see, is really not
a big deal. For several years it's
hovered between a pixie and a
bob. I like simple styles that I
don't have to fuss with.
Sam, on the other hand, likes
to express himself, to make the
most of his avant-garde hair
designs. One time he cut my
hair so that no piece was longer
than an inch. Then he rubbed it
with some exotic lotion and
swept it up so that it was stan
ding on end. Oh no, Annie Len
nox I'm not, I worried. As he
furiously brushed my hair back,
over the whirr of the blow dryer,
he said, "This is hot. Like Vogue
magazine." I was perspiring
heavily, wondering if any of my
friends might see me before I
got home to get it back to
normal.
I swore I would never go back
to Sam after that.
That was two years ago. But
every six weeks my will breaks,
and I make another appoint
ment with Sam. The last time I
called him I turned to my hus
band and said with resignation,
"Sam just likes to express
himself." My husband said,
"You don't pay Sam to express
himself. Why don't you just go
to someone who doesn't make
