My client at the Livonia shop asked me to cut his dead dad's hair off a photo, and I still think about it
He sat down last Tuesday with a crumpled photo and asked if I could shape his hair to match his father's in it, right down to the part. I did it, but half the guys I know would have said no because it was a weird ask on a walk in. Would you have taken that cut or turned him down?
Wait, he carried a crumpled photo of his dead dad into a Livonia shop and asked you to copy the guy's part line? That is a whole different level of heavy for a walk in on a Tuesday. I have cut hair for guys who brought in pictures of themselves from 2003, sure, but a photo of a dead parent as a style guide is something else. Half the guys saying no probably just froze up, not because it was a bad cut but because they did not know what to say to the man. Honestly taking it was the right call, he trusted you with something big. I would have done it too, even if my hands shook a little.
