Ha ha, what is really funny about haircutting schools is when you already have shortish hair, and you have to tell your haircutter/student, "Yes really. Really that short. Use your clippers, #2 setting. (Which is 1/2".) No I am not going to yell at you when it's done. Go get your teacher if you're too afraid to do it yourself."

...Apparently, an intentionally shaved nape is as rare as rubies in my town.

(I do see a considerable quality difference -- it's much more obvious in a short cut -- but when I've been skint, I've bit the bullet and gone to the school. When I'm flush, I go to a woman who doesn't have a flashy cut herself; and so I never feel like I am being entered in the Cool Olympics against my will when I sit in her chair.)

	It might also have to do with the fact that the teachers watched the students like hawks at this school. The only time there wasn't a teacher supervising most (if not all) of the haircut was when I got someone who was in their last semester there, and even then the teacher had to okay it before the student could let me go.

Oh yes, that too -- but really, you could smell the fear coming off these poor women. I am going to accidentally shave her whole head!! And then I'll be fired/expelled and end up living in a VAN down by the RIVER!!1!"

It was the funniest thing, the exact opposite of a pro haircut experience: I was constantly telling jokes and reassuring the haircutter, rather than the other way around.
