It’s the kind of party trick that one should never actually employ at a party, unless pity is the goal. For as long as I can remember I’ve been able to wrap the thumb and middle finger of one hand around my other wrist, and have enough room left over for a friend to slide three fingers into the gap. My wrists are alarmingly thin, sticklike in a way that suggests malnourishment rather than run-of-the-mill scrawniness. This was the ’90s, so my billowing clothing was on trend, but my skinny wrists were definitely not. Mediums and larges that billowed and ballooned over my small frame. So as I hit my first growth spurts I ambitiously bought clothing that I assumed I would grow into. I always held up hope that I was still, literally, on the rise. My dad is a robust 5’11”, and it seemed perfectly reasonable that I’d eclipse him someday. What did she know? From her perspective I kept getting bigger and bigger. My mom tried to comfort me by assuring me I’d grow up to be tall. But “little runt” was much harder to swallow. But I had seen a flash of bubble script, and after much pleading and prying, I got the book from him, flipped to my name, and saw the only words someone had cared to offer: “Annoying little runt.” The “annoying” didn’t bother me so much it was something I could control, and, as a middle school boy, being annoying was almost a point of pride.

My buddy Ben, in a remarkably aware moment for a middle schooler, promptly snapped the book shut, claiming that the page was empty.

We flipped to the pages of my friends first, which were full of fawning praise - “So cute!”, “So funny!” - and then finally to mine. A couple friends and I had gotten our hands on the black book the girls had been passing around the hallways, which listed every boy in our grade, and, in colorful, anonymous bubble script that foreshadowed the future cruelty of the internet message board, opinions about each boy.

There is a $15 late fee BUT I hold myself to the same standard and will gladly discount your style $15 if I am late.The most crushing moment of my middle school experience, a time when crushing moments seem to queue restlessly, occurred in health class. In the same regards, if you are 20 minutes or more late to your appointment. Respectfully, I do not ever intend on rushing through a style. Depending on the length of hair, size of head and hair thickness the duration of the style may take longer or shorter so please do not schedule something right after your appointment with me.Įxtended Length Notes: Prices are set for 48’ (mid back) $35/hr additionally. It must be brought with you, and it has to be human hair mix to achieve the style. Curls for Boho curls is not included, ever. LATE ARRIVAL: 30 min or more, your deposit is forfeited. Freshly cut ends stick out, and lessens the integrity of the braided style. Please wait at least two weeks after a fresh trim to book an appointment. Please do not "Oil" your scalp the day of your appointment.
