Getting a haircut is like making a deal with God. You put your life in someone else’s hands with the hope that you will be delivered back better, more whole. It’s one of the greatest risks we take as humans, because in the words of Fleabag, «Hair is everything. We wish it wasn’t so we could actually think about something else occasionally. But it is. It’s the difference between a good day and a bad day.» I couldn’t agree more, Phoebe. 

If it wasn’t so important, haircuts wouldn’t make us cry when they go wrong. I’ve been the victim of a few bad cuts, and they’ve left me reeling. Only when you get home, wash it, and style it yourself do things start to look up, but the feeling of leaving the salon after a rough one… it’s devastating. These memes capture all the agony and ecstasy involved in taming our tresses. Take a look and call your barber.
