hairdressers, contrasts and sex

This may sounds lazy, but I’ve only had 5 hair cuts in the last 15 months. And tonight was possibly the weirdest of all those experiences. Of those hair cuts, 3 have been done by girls in Melbourne and 2 by men in Doha.

Haircuts for me have always been a quasi-erotic experience. I’ve never had a regular hairdresser who I wasn’t a little bit in love with. The idea of a gorgeous girl shaping and styling my hair is definitely a positive! The last girl to cut my hair was a goddess. The experience was amazing. After a head massage that blew my mind her gorgeous colleague came over and massaged my shoulders while serving the two of us Maltesers.

Tonight I had the most bizarre haircut I remember ever having. First of all I sat down and he butchered my long(ish) hair. (And tried to give me a part and a mullet!) He then rubbed a strange compound on my head and combed it through – before putting what looked like a hair-drier on my head, but was in fact a steamer! Then, through the steamy haze, he gave me a facial. I’m a pretty open minded guy, but the thought of having a facial in a local, Indian ‘Saloon’ in Doha wasn’t the most attractive option. But after rubbing about 3 compounds on my face, he then applied another steamer to my face!!

After removing the steamers, I then stood with my face down in the basin to wash it all off… As I was about to leave he rubbed a ‘little’ bit of gel in my hair – enough to give me a ‘peacock tail’ across the front of my hair! I wish I had a camera with me for the whole experience – I will next time.. In the meantime – here’s a photo of my ’short back and sides’ a look that’s definitely not me – and one that I won’t be repeating any time soon…
