I really don’t know what to make of this. It’s a site devoted to user-submitted haircut stories. There seems to be a mild fetish aspect to most of the stories, but hardly any of them are overtly sexual. All I can say is: People are weird. Here’s an excerpt:
Curt picked up a comb and tried combing my hair. “Damn! What did you do to it? It is a tangled mess.” I told Curt I hadn’t done anything out of the ordinary. I asked Curt, “Can’t you do something so these darn curls won’t be bothering me?” Curt smiled and said, “I can take care of the curls so they won’t be a problem for over a month or more if that is what you want.” Now that sounded good to me. I immediately thought of some kind of hair straightener/conditioner that would be applied and have nice straight hair. I couldn’t wait.
I didn’t see that Gary was sitting over in the waiting area motioning to Curt. Later I was to find out that Gary was rubbing his chin and motioning to Curt. After Curt was able to untangle the curls so he could get a comb through, the clippers came to life. I figured he was going to shorten my sideburns since they were so long that they had begun to curl as well. I was shocked when I felt the clippers moving across the top of my head. I jerked away and said, “Curt! What do you think you are doing?” Curt dropped a big pile of curls onto the cape and said, “I am freeing you of these curls. As I said, they won’t bother you for a month or more .trust me.” I jumped out of the chair and walked to the mirror so I could get a close look. I almost fainted when I saw that Curt had taken his 00000 blade and made a nice, smooth, wide path across the top of my head.
I looked at him and he was grinning! I said, “Curt! I could kill you for that. What has gotten into you? What is my boss going to say? Honestly! You have gone too far!” Gary and Curt both said, “Wait until it is finished - it is going to look great.”
