Why hasn't /beauty/ become a board or part of apart yet?

>part of apart

Wait, what?

>>8845902
Apart of a board sorry the autism is starting to go to my head

hair and make up belong in >>>/fa/ unless specifically relating to >>>/cgl/.

It was hot the past few days and so I thought I would cut my hair so I wouldn't feel so hot. Then the next day it got cooler and I think I would be too cold without hair.

I'll give myself a few more weeks before I finally cut it.

>>8845899
I think grooming goes in /fa/ officially.
But I'll take this as the Social Anxiety General thread for now.

My hair grows slowly, but I really like getting a good haircut every couple months. I get all nervous when the stylist is a woman for some reason, so I mumble. It's a wonder they get what I want.

I was at the place when I was invited inside by the clerk. She offered me hair treatment and haircut for an equivalent of ~USD 20.00 for the service. Why not? I drop tons of money on stupid stuff, why would a USD 20.00 for a haircut hurt? I looked around to look for the stylist, just be sure I'm the right place. I was then greeted by a corean 3DPD girl and I was told that should would be my stylist. Okay. Not a problem, I just think of it that it's an added bonus. She looks just like those K-popstars, though more composed and professional, I think. So I was brought to this wash area so my hair can be treated and stuff. After my hair was dry, I was passed to her.

She's speaks simple English. Great. I showed her the picture on my phone and made comparisons with their catalogue and looks like she understood. My hair was still a bit damp so she had to blow dry it. I don't mind the blow dryer, it's just I noticed that she was already rubbing her hands against my now soft, bouncy long hair.

Ah I just always assumed /fa/ was about clothing

I think I'm going to get up early tomorrow and chop off my hair.

I like the way you narrate. Reading that last part brought to my mind the smell of hair products and freshly dried hair.

My regular hairdresser has a really muscular 5'4 woman with a hitler youth who I get along with well. I'm 100% sure she's gay but she's threatening in an endearing way and I always get something that looks good for being a regular.

If she's not there I get this gigantic gay assistant guy who only wants to discuss football (soccer variety) and compliments me way too much. They both seem to get that I'm timid though so I feel comfortable going there.

I kind of want to get a haircut but I'm too nervous to go and get one. I want my hair cut nicely but I feel like if I went to a nicer salon they'd try to make conversation with me and I get too clammed up in public to make small-talk. It'd be an unpleasant experience for everyone. I also would have no clue what I wanted and would probably be unable to express it - maybe bringing in a picture would be a good idea.

My hair just stopped growing some time after reaching about shoulder length, now I just trim locks that stand out now and then myself.
Haven't been to a hair salon for years

Close to 10 years since I've had a haircut. I regret not looking after it as it looks dry and split like an old well used broom.

When it gets too awful I'm going to shave it all off and never have hair again, but I'll probably miss it for a while.

I'm split between deciding to cut my long hair because I've had it since I was 14, 21 now. It's down to my ass. I also really like metal and headbanging at shows, but since the Occupy wallstreet shit, I don't want to be associated with the liberal pseudo-left.

I just go to the cheapest nearest place, to get my hair cut short.
When cut short it makes it so my stammering and bad communication skills don't make it end up a mess. It's hard to fuck up short.

>I like metal and headbanging at shows
C'mon son, I gave that up in high school.

>>8845925
My heart raced as she rub her hands against my hair. Never have been in my entire life my hair was brushed like she did -- delicate, like she's brushing her hand against something important, assuring, like she's telling me that she isn't like the other stylists who did my hair. The feeling is both comforting and disturbing -- the first because she gives a a warm fuzzy feeling, and second because as I wanted her to keep on doing it. I felt I was going to puke with those in mind.

She then got a pair of scissors and a comb, and started tying parts of my hair up. I wasn't really speaking, I'm just listening at the sound of the scissors shearing through my soft hair -- fast and precise. I tried not to look at the mirror and let her tilt my head at the right places so she can cut my hair properly. I tried to look into the mirror to see how she's doing, but the moment I turn my eyes to the thing, I heard her say:

'Are you alright?'

My dad cuts my hair when my parents feel it's too long.

The only defining part of my hair "style" is the indents left from my headphones

I've had long (past my shoulders) length hair for nearly half my life. My sister is going to cut it for me soon, and I'm wondering if I should get it cut really short for a change.

Suddenly, I heard the loud sound of glass shattering, followed by a low ominous hissing. I turned toward the window just in time to see a huge black snake head with retarded-looking eyes slithering in.

"HAVE YOU READ YOUR SICP TODAY?"

>>8845894

I have a yandere girlfriend who cuts my hair. I'm secretly scared every time she does it really, but it's her job...

>>8845966

Anon, you sound like one of those hikkis who actually want to be social but are just bad at it. You should consider making a more active effort at being good socially. The way you took her simply doing her job strikes me as more than a bit weird and conjures the image of someone who takes the simplest shows of affection entirely too seriously

>>8845999

No, I think they just have a tendency to "improve upon reality" when recounting events of themselves in lucid prose form.

I tend to do that when writing about myself too.

>>8845966
Of course, I'm alright! But I can't tell her that. I just nod shyly as she skillfully ran her scissors over my hair. I'm not really sure how I should feel. I know she's just doing her job of grooming me but I see it differently. Probably because the experience is something new and I'm thinking too much. She kept on asking me if what she's doing is right, probably because of language barriers, that may be she's unable to understand what I want, or how I want it. Communication is not a problem for her, I thought. I know it is me who has a problem.

She then asked that shampoo girl to rinse my head off of hair remnants so she can touch up. When I was brought back to her, I can't really discern if she's giving me a condescending smile or a smile from a professional assuring her client that we're almost done. After a few a runs of her scissors, she asked me if I wanted wax or 'essence' (not what that is) used to style my hair. I tried to be cheerful and normal this time and told her I wanted wax. She just gave me her usual smile as she rubs some wax between her palms.

I asked /fa/ what I should do with my hair and they were more forthcoming than I'd have thought - maybe you guys should try too!

>>8846028
Again, she rubbed her wax-filled palms on my hair. This time, I didn't feel nauseating or panicking -- it just felt cozy inside. It's like she's telling me, 'Hang in there, we're almost done'. I'm not really looking at the mirror so I wouldn't know how she looked while styling my hair -- she probably looked serious, I dunno.

When she said 'Finished!', I looked up to the mirror and I was shocked at what I saw -- the style she did was exactly as how I imagined it, with the touch of that picture their catalogue. I'm impressed. I stood up to thank her for the great job and as I was about to talk to her, I saw her just staring at me blankly. I'm not sure if there's something on my face or I accidentally showed my grin with my crooked teeth (you know those crooked teeth wota are obsessed over? I have them. Not sure if it suits me though). I wasn't sure how to say 'Thank you' this time, so I just nod my head as a sign of thanks. She just nodded back and smiled, as this usherette guided me to the clerk to pay.

I paid the fee and added an equivalent of ~USD 10.00 more, then I was asked to fill out my contact information. Why? I dunno. Not sure if they're going to look me up. I couldn't care less if I paid more. I have never felt this pampered at all. After I got my receipt I just wanted to get out of there, but every one in the place yelled 'Thank you', but I can hear that the stylist yelled out to. I turned to her and nodded at her again and then went out.

I think this is the first time I actually liked my haircut -- style and feeling. Didn't regret paying extra. I'll probably go back there if I need to get groomed again.

>>8845999
Sorry for lacking social skills.

>>8845999
It's not like it's that easy to 'put in more active effort at being good' in social encounters. It's very hard to read what other people are thinking. Especially women, you can never know what they're thinking. That's why I just put up a shy, silent guy act -- it's not that difficult, and I don't mind being regarded as weird or passive.

I think it is good for me to 'take things seriously' and keep them to my self. It's not like I'm going to do something about it anyway, and it's not like something good will come out of it even if try to be social.

i shave my head and you should too

>>8846458
I don't shave my head, but every time I cut my hair I go over it with the buzzers.

Any good Valentine combos?

this story reminded me of the time i went to a Mexican salon and got pampered like this guy

the shampoo part is the best experience ever
this woman was a small woman with small hands and she just ran her fingers down and up and through, I mean, she was thorough as fuck.
and it felt GOOD, like unbelievably, amazingly, fuzzy and warm and just comfy.
in that moment I was just so comfortable, so at peace
I think I'm gonna go to a salon just to get pampered like that, not even a haircut since i love my hair, but just to get it styled in whatever way they want to, I just want to get my hair rubbed by a woman with small hands

Welcome to Korean/Japanese salons. After you've gone there once you never want to go anywhere else.

Just cut it yourself.
