Forget pants, I got hair to worry about

The adventure of riding the new light rail in Phoenix
Apparently there was an internet-borne improv prank involving light passengers without pants today on the new mass transit system in Phoenix and around the world. I didn't go and get pictures, but you can read about it below. I have bigger things to worry about. My assymullet. (pronounced a-sim-mullet)
So, I've been procrastinating getting a haircut because my stylist is on the north side of town, no where near the light rail, and I've been too lazy (and busy) to hop on a Valley Metro bus.
I found a stylist the other night and went there this morning on my break. I'm in no financial shape to get my ass sued like the person on Yelp, so I'm going to leave names and locations out. Besides, it's not fair to judge the guy based on one cut. For conversations sake, we'll call him Blaine.
I sat down in the chair of unnamed, swanky salon somewhere in Phoenix and told Blaine exactly what I wanted. Take the bulk off the sides and clip the ends.
There are a dozen styles Blaine could've done on my do. He could've given me the Justin (Timberlake), the Hugh (Jackman), the Tom (Cruise), and I would've even considered the Rachel (Green – from friends).
Find out what Blaine gave the light rail blogger after the jump
Blaine gave me the assymullet. Just like it sounds, an assymetrical/mullet combo. Think Billy Ray Cyrus (pre-Miley Cyrus fame) and Rosie O'Donnell circa 2002. Hmm, I wonder what they would look like if they mated?
Anyway, one of my twitter pals @ToniaMBartz suggested I say something. I don't know, it's hair, it will grow. I have hats. And product. The bigger problem: How do I tell my old stylist I went somewhere else?
Did you…
see the no pants prank here in Phoenix?
hear how an unsuspecting blogger/passenger reacted seeing light rail passengers in various stages of undress?
see how the no pants prank played out in other parts of the world?
hear about Columbus, OH possibly being the next city with light rail?
hear what happened in the Tempe light rail crash?

I have not confronted him. And now I may need to get another . Do I go back to #1? #2?

Hmm. What a dilemma. A first visit to the stylist is never going to be
perfect, but it should be pretty close. Unless you were looking for
something close to the assymullet I would go back to your original
stylist or try another one. I think your reasoning for looking for
another one is pretty sound and shouldn’t offend. When I was in MI I
drove quite a way to my salon. Fortunately now mine is a mile away …
until I move to Phx this fall. Best of luck!
