So, I've been pretty down lately. One of the things bothering me was my hair. I hadn't had a nice haircut in months. The salon I go (went) to is run by a bisexual fellow who is quite skilled. The problem is that he doesn't make me feel comfortable. When I was first introduced to him I told him up front that I'm trans and wanted a haircut to deemphasize my masculine features. As time passed though I just get the impression he treats me like one of his guy customers. I've heard the way he speaks to my mom and the tone and choice of words is just different. For me it's always, "hey buddy, how you doing" and for her it's stuff like "hey girl" and whatnot. So whatever, the last time I went I could have sworn he called me "he" to one of the receptionists in regards to making my next appointment. Maybe it's all a misunderstanding and he was talking about someone else. Either way, I'm not comfortable there anymore. So today I went to a different salon. The stylist seemed less experienced and slower overall, but I really like my new haircut. All of that is just backstory for what really brightened my day. A lady sitting across from my spot started complimenting me from the moment I walked over. Told me straight up, "you have such long legs, you should be a model!" She complimented my haircut when I was finished and when I stood up again and she also said she liked my dress. All in all, she made my week much better.
