Can we talk about my hair for a moment? I'd been thinking about going back to the "mohawk" style for a bit, but I was waiting for my hair on top to grow out. Right before the KMFDM show, I decided, fuck it, it's ready now. Only problem was, my stylist/cousin was not. (Ready, that is.) So, impatient as I am, I decided to find a new stylist that wasn't related to me. This is really scary for me, because I've had a lot of bad haircuts. A lot of stylists don't know how to cut short hair on a woman. They just do men's cuts, which are NOT the same.
One day before the show, I made an appointment at Barbara & Barbara, a salon in my neighborhood. I chose Barbara & Barbara for their obvious hipster-rep and cheap-ness. They charge $20-$40, depending on the length of hair and time spent. This I love. I've been complaining about being charged the same as those long-haired folks for awhile now. My cuts are not that complicated and I don't require a wash or blow-out.
I went to Jarvi, because, well, she was available. I was nervous the whole way through, especially because I had my glasses off for most of the cut. (The important part, anyway.) Anyway, I think she did a fantastic job and I will be seeing her again. My haircut took about 30-45 minutes and I was charged $20.
If you are in need of a great haircut at a great price in Chicago, check out Barbara & Barbara and specifically, Jarvi.
