Freshly Shorn (or: The Strangest Question a Stylist Has Asked Me)

Joey deVilla

I got my hair cut this afternoon, and they did a nice job. There was something odd, though.

When the stylist was finished with my hair, she took a look at me and asked “I’d like to trim your eyebrows. Would you like me to trim your eyebrows?”

My reply: “No way! I’m going for the ‘Asian Scorsese’ look!”

(Or maybe the Asian “Roger Sterling” look.)

My stylist won’t let me leave without trimming my eyebrows. She’ll ask to be polite, but I really have no choice in the matter.

I keep getting asked if I want my eyebrows trimmed. It’s kind of understandable, since my eyebrows have a lot in common with those hedgerows Allied troops had so much trouble getting through after the Normandy landings in WWII. But if I didn’t have wild eyebrows, I’m not sure people would recognize me.
