One of the good things about the pandemic is that my husband and I learned to cut each other's hair but the bad part is that I’m still not very good at it so I just accidentally gave him the Oliver Tree.

Okay, so I didn't give him a full blown bowl cut, but I was removing some hair from the guard on the razor and when I went back to continue, I didn't realize it was set to the shortest setting, so it's definitely very short at the back of his head and I hope he never finds out.
@Alice I once did roughly the same to a friend but by the time I realized I had shaved a big stripe across most of his head, lengthwise not widthwise at the base.
He was so good looking he survived and so, inexplicably, did our friendship.
But I still remember being absolutely mortified.
@Alice if you can get him back in the chair “for touch ups”, I suggest cutting a message into the hair on the back of his head that says “please don’t mention anything about my hair to me”. Just to be safe.
@Alice I've had a stripe taken out of the back of my hair by a professional before, so you're in good company.
And at least it was unintentional, unlike my ex who assured me she knew how to cut hair because she'd watched her step-dad do it and just kind of waved the clippers at me with the result that I looked like I had the mange.
. . . did you block him on fedi?
@Alice If he does, show him this and explain that's it's all the rage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1NdGBldg3w
@Alice I've been cutting my own hair on and off since college and I'm pretty good at it EXCEPT the back. And my wife refuses to do it because she's convinced she's going to sever an artery with the clippers
@Alice Best to tell no one, then.
@Alice My wife started doing this for me too, and she was honestly really good at it. Sadly for me, she just kicked me off the dole and told me it's time to go back to a real barber. Apparently, she's got other shit to do at 9:00 on a Tuesday night.
@Alice "accidentally"
