Haircut Memoir Writing


My Haircut

I was slightly nervous, I was starting to sweat, what should I do? It was haircut time!

I slowly clambered into the swinging chair this was not fun at all. The hairdresser brought the table over and I shivered when I glanced at the scissors begging to cut something. Then suddenly she yanked my hair like an anchor dropping into the ocean, ouch!

I was wishing that I could disappear. She was yanking it hard and then she pulled out a hair drier and I breathed a sigh of relief, it was over. Then no she hadn’t finished it was taking far too long because my hair was too thick. Then she pulled out the hair drier again and done!

Then I said ‘Thank you’ and left the perfume smell behind me. I was never going back there again!

My Haircut

I love my hair long but when my Mum mentioned ‘Hairdressers’, I froze. I hated the horrid hairdressers as much as eating a worm. 

‘Get in the car’, Mum said, so I did. When we got there I closed my eyes and held my nose, then I stepped inside. When it was my turn I went onto the chair. A few cuts later I think she cut  my ear. OOOuuuccchhhh!! It stings, it burns! Once she had finished I told my Mum.

I must have to make some kind of ‘Do Not Go’’, Sign on the road some how.

My Haircut

Slam! I shut the car door as I entered Chartwell to get my haircut.

I had seen just pictures of odd haircuts but I’m going to have the best haircut in the whole hair salon so it had better turn out right. Snip, snip goes the scissors, scrape, scrape goes the comb, squish, squash goes the hair products and squirt goes the bottle of water. It gave me the shivers like penguins get. I heard razors going and the scissors snipping and children crying. I smelt grape flavoured products and also strawberry.

I had thought it was kind of nice getting a haircut especially as after I could get some Smiggle stuff for a reward.

An Indian Style Haircut

Getting my whole head shaved? Whoa! I don’t think so! I was squirming and wheezing when they told me I had to get my whole head shaved but it had to occur someday and that was now.

The reason was that I didn’t get my hair shaved three times before I was three years old, only two times. I had to have a saline so my grandma shaved her head. It’s a ritual all the Indians have to do for what I know so…

The lifeless razors lay down on the cold stone concrete, soon to be used to murder the beautiful clan of hair on top of my head. I sometimes wished I could have had my head decapitated instead of having my hair all shaved off but in the long run I think it was better for me. My hair would grow again, maybe even more beautifully. I stayed still for the razors to cut my hair (more like kill it!), I heard it racing around my hair shaving it all off. Amazingly after it finished, there were no bleedy cuts, scars or slashes, just like it was brand shiny new.

At the end I walked out as ripe as a tomato with embarrassment. I wanted to hide all my face like it was something from outer space (I looked like an alien with such a huge head). As I went to the car I knew that I’d grow it back but for now I knew as we sped away, that I wasn’t getting another haircut…just yet!

My Haircut

As I opened the car door, I looked across the street to see the deadly hairdresser salon.

I walked through wondering, what is going to happen next? I smell hair products floating through the air. I see the hairdresser’s weapons scattered everywhere. I walk up to the swinging chair that’s in front of me. Chop, goes the scissors, scrape goes the comb.

Ten minutes later I step out of the chair and look in the mirror. It was horrible, almost as horrible as a zombie’s haircut. That was it. I was never getting a haircut again.

My Horrendous Haircut

I took a deep breath and entered the hair salon. A wave of the smell of burnt hair and cloudy perfume overwhelmed me as I entered. Mum ushered me over to where the hairdresser was standing. My mind screamed in protest but my legs moved on, as if I was in a trance.

I sat down and the hairdresser threw the cape around me. She inspected my hair, like a police officer inspects a crook. Then she said something terrible. I couldn’t believe my ears! She said, ‘I will have to straighten her hair’. Mum nodded. I was transported to another chair and the terror began.

When it was finished, the moment I dreaded came. I saw the scissors coming closer and then snip, snip. I saw my precious hair fall to the floor. But, I knew it was over. I sighed with relief. But then, I looked down and saw something terrible. My hair was much shorter than I would have liked.

That was it. No matter how hard Mum tries to persuade me, I was never getting a haircut again!!!!!!
