Adventures in Haircuts

Okay, we definitely have a problem. Yesterday, after attempting to grow my hair out for over three months, I decided to finally get a haircut, being unhappy with the way my hair was looking and the amount of time and gel it was consuming. My usual haircut is very simple: shave the sides and back, trim the top, keep it all short enough to get out of the shower and go, but still have a little more on top then around my head. But since I had so much hair I figured this time I would take a No.2 set of clippers and have the whole hair buzzed to very short so that I could style it as I wanted later.

Now I'm not stupid enough to attempt this sort of trim myself and I have no issues whatsoever with paying the barber fourteen bucks to cut it. I entered the barbershop and told him, in my best Japanese which apparently isn't very good, what I wanted. He must've asked me if I was certain about 20 times, which is a common occurrence in Japan so I didn't think anything of it. It was only after I had no hair left that I realized my error. I had told him a number much shorter, thanks to the good translation and hairstyling advice of my friend Carl, than he expected and he wasn't sure that was what I wanted, hence the questions.

Well, now I'm kinda bald. I have included some bad pictures for all to see, but I reckon within about 10 days my head will be dark again, and within two weeks I will no longer feel cool breezes on my scalp. Now I know how you feel Chris!
