      Man, I moved to a new city a little over a year ago and am still struggling to find a barber that can give me a proper cut. I thought it would be easier out here because I’m mixed and moved from a city that’s 86% white to one that’s that’s like 46% black. Nope. The black barbers look at me like “wtf are you doing here” and give me a rush job. The Latinos give me the cold shoulder because they think I’m also Latino and seem offended I don’t speak Spanish, so they give me a rush cut too. The white folks do try, but they don’t see a lot of clients with textured hair. I just miss the rude ass Brooklyn Puerto Rican that cut my hair back in my old city. He wasn’t friendly, but you didn’t leave his chair looking like a clown.

      Right? My barber is great and I just tell her to do whatever she wants because she’s the hair expert, not me. I’ve never walked out unhappy.
