Port Salon

So I thought I'd talk about my new job for a little bit. It's called Port Salon and it's right next to the Aliante Hotel and Casino, if you know or care where that is. I work Wednesday, Friday and Saturday for 9 - 5 or 6 depending on if I have a client or not. I am growing to love the people I work with. They have been so so nice. They are all quite a bit older than me but I think I mentioned that in my last post. I'm getting busier and am bringing in okay money. I really like the clientele base that comes in it's been really fun. I have to write about the funniest client I think I have ever had. On Saturday I had a Japanese client named Hermie. She moved here 20 years ago with her husband (who is American and was in the military) and daughter. So when I write some of the things that she said you have to say them in a 60 year old Japanese womans voice. To start off our conversation she asked me what I was for Halloween. I told her Poison Ivy and her eyes got kinda big and she said "Ooh that sexy! Oh ya Poison Ivy is very sexy!" (remember use you best Asian voice) we continued to talk and somehow the topic of marriage was brought up. She started giving me advice and said that communication was important and... "if he want to have sex, you talk about it and then you do it!" Wow talk about advice! Okay now here is my favorite part of the story. She asked to see my Poison Ivy costume so I showed her the picture of me and my friend Ian who dressed up as Batman (see last post, the story will be much funnier if you look at them first) I explained to her that Ian was dressed up as Batman, this is what she said "He no Batman! Batman sexy! He no sexy! Batman have sexy shirt with muscles! He wear no shirt and have no muscles. Cover him up! He is no sexy!" Now you can imagine how hard I was laughing at this lady and how bad I felt for Ian because some 60 year old Japanese woman just gave him the verbal beating of a lifetime even though he didn't hear it. Okay same day different story. I work with a lady name Susie, she is in her late 40's and she is Greek. She moved to the states when she was 20. Love her. She is the sweetest lady and she is very very very honest and straight forward. We were sitting in the break room with the receptionist, Julie and another stylist, Wendy. I don't know how but the topic of sex came up. Obviously I don't have much to say on the matter but Susie thought I needed to be a little more vocal. She turns to me, looks me straight in the eye and asks "are you active?" There aren't very many times where I'm speechless but that was one of them. When I told her no she continued to ask "oh so you are waiting for marriage?" my response "um yes" and her response " oh that's good. See I thought my daughter was active but she wasn't, she waited til she was engaged." I didn't know a response to that so that was the moment I went to check on my client. I had a good laugh at both those stories. But I'm loving my job and I always love to cut hair so it has been a lot of fun.
