Last night I went to Affliction Fedor vs. Arlovski fight in Anaheim.

Anytime you go to a MIXED MARTIAL ARTS fight it is a BRO and BRO-HOE fest. After watching the crowd, which is half the fun of going to such an event, I began to wonder if bad hair was really a choice. Do these people with all this awful hair really choose to make themselves look like such a FAUX PAS. or is a reflection of their surroundings and the group that they find themselves in socially?

Humm… Or is it the hairstylist fault?

Personally, when I have a client come in that wants a ‘mullet’ I try to give them the most righteous mullet that I can. I want that mullet to be wicked cool and on point! I want them to strut with pride that their mullet is PERFECT!!! Is that so wrong that I take pride in providing the client with a CLICHE’?

In my attempts to deliver good customer service am I really doing the client a disservice by allowing them to wear bad hair? Should I try to direct them towards a hairstyle that says more than “I have not a clue as what looks good or is fashionable”?!?

Let’s face it. Some people are sheep when I it comes to style. They follow the crowd and that is where they feel comfortable. If they happen to be in a crowd of mullets and LITA FORD’s, that is what will make them feel accepted and whole.

In my own life (yes, when I actually HAD hair on my head, and not the hair that you tape or glue), there were times that I was a sheep, but more times than not I was a fashion WOLF. On the prowl for the next big thing, looking for the next ‘cool’. I wonder if that isn’t just as bad as being a sheep? There were times that my fashion forward thinking was just ‘bad hair’.

So, where do you draw the line and what makes ‘bad hair’ BAD?

Artistic principles maybe. Classics are never bad, updated classics are mostly good but who knows. I don’t know what makes something good. The only thing I know is that I KNOW BAD HAIR WHEN I SEE IT!!!
