To be cringing and thinking we can't ever go back to that barber shop

[SolidGoldBrass]

Today both DS and I had haircuts (DS is 9). His hair was quite long and he has had it cropped very short. On the way home, when the sun came out, I noticed a few little dark dots so at bathtime I just did a quick check with the nit comb - and he was fairly nit-ridden. Argh! The barbers must think we are a revolting family of infested slobs...

I'm surprised they didn't say anything. At the hairdressers DDs use, you would be asked to leave and to pay for the gown and any brushes that have touched your head.

Your son is NEVER 9! It has NOT been that many years we've been on here

sorry. that's truly not the point.

I wouldn't worry. I am sure they see it often. It can't have been that bad or surely they wouldn't have cut it?

But yes. You're going to have to find another barber

Surely they didn't notice?

Maybe they didn't notice?

surely if the barber had noticed he'd have taken you aside and discreetly told you?

I wouldn't worry about it too much, they'll have seen worse

LMAO that's so embarrassing

Don't worry, if they'd seen the nits they'd have refused to cut his hair. My sister went to get her hair cut once , she didn't know she had nits, but hairdresser found them and told her they couldn't cut her hair.

I. Sure they see them so often they didn't notice

Either way you can go back.
Gosh we've had nits so many times over the years. I wait for the next time and am not embarrassed. If your children don't get them you are very lucky and hairdressers see them all the time. My hairdressers daughter just got them!

We have had nits before, and did have an outbreak about 6 weeks ago, which I thought I had dealt with . Oh well. Glad they didn't ask us to pay for everything we had touched FFS, couldn't possibly have afforded to.

they didn't see them or they wouldn't have cut your hair. my friend does mobile hairdressing and she wouldn't cut anyone's hair if she saw nits not even mine

Don't worry. I went for a pedicure once and the person doing it told me as I had a verruca (I hadn't noticed) she couldn't touch my left foot she looked really disgusted and I felt awful! At least the barber can't have noticed

The title should have had a warning, now I'm itching like mad and wet combing my hair.

Still funny.
