EddaDear Edda,
I have been really good about staying at home during COVID. I have all of my groceries delivered, and haven’t gotten together with friends for months. My only real outings are to take walks every morning down by the beach, being sure to wear a mask and keep a safe distance from others. I have not been out to eat or to a hair salon for months.
A few days ago, I decided to cut my own hair because it was getting long and was in my face all the time. I watched several YouTube videos and followed along as best I could. It turned out terrible! As soon as I saw the result, I tried to fix it by cutting some more. It didn’t work. I am so embarrassed, I can’t even go for my walks anymore.
My regular hair stylist offered to sneak me into her salon one evening and repair the damage. I felt guilty, but agreed. Now she says she is too nervous to break the rules, so she can’t keep the appointment.
What should I do?

Dear Ann,
First of all, you should definitely not miss your walks. Wear a hat.
Secondly, while YouTube videos are invaluable for easy stuff like dry walling, plumbing, or building a semiconductor nuclear radiation detector, they are absolutely no place to go for a hair cutting tutorial. Consider this a lesson.
Also, remember that it’s just hair and it will grow out.

Give a call to Nancy Pelosi’s local S.F. office and ask for help making an appointment with HER stylist. Shouldn’t be any problem getting in – and you wouldn’t even have to wear a mask!
Pay cash and tip well! It’s like prohibition, not easy but you can find what you need.
Right?! And then the hair stylist will tell the cops and you’ll look like the only bad guy.
Easy now. “Tongue-in-cheek.” Definition: The idiom tongue-in-cheek refers to a humorous or sarcastic statement expressed in a mock serious manner.
How truly important is it to have hair somewhat out of line ?
Count your blessing if that is your most important problem !
An awful lot of people will gladly trade their dismal state for what you consider to be yours !

having or showing a feeling of patronizing superiority.
This post cannot be for real. I hope this is just a joke, because that’s what it sounds like.
Lol @sbsand why bother defending Nancy Pelosi? Or any politician. They’re all full of $h1+.
I’m not defending her lol, she is disgusting and the whole thing was so symbolic about what is wrong in our country right now! But the hairstylist allowed it and then ratted her out. They should have turned her away or told her that masks were required, shown some integrity and been protective of their business, employees and other clients. Instead, they took care of her hair, got paid for it and then ratted her out. If they had morals to begin with then it would have been a non story! That’s the problem, so many people only think the rules matter until they apply them to themselves, and here we are, surging and shutting down. ALL involved in it are culpable!
I was a professional hair-dresser in L.A. & S.B..,yes, me!..
I advise; slick it down or find a “messy” style you can live with until it grows a little..
Experiment, play with it, but relax about it..it will grow back at about a 1/2 inch per month, & will be ready to try again soon.
