Yesterday, I had a day at the hairdresser's. Not exactly for me, but for my daughter.
On Saturday night she told me she wanted to get a haircut to start school. She doesn't like going to the stylist (that's something we share 馃き) so I was up for the challenge. I have worn my hair short since I was very young and I am my own hairdresser.
I didn't instill that behavior in my daughter, in fact I wore it when she was younger, until when she was 11 she told me she didn't want to go anymore because it was too uncomfortable for her to sit still in a chair for so long. Since then her haircuts (and even other little stylistic adventures 馃槣) have been done by me.
I have no training as a hairdresser, but after cutting so much fabric, paper and cardboard I get the idea that hair is another material and without fear I venture to see what comes out. At the request of the client the cut this time would be straight, short and with fringe.

Hola!! Ayer tuve un d铆a de peluquer铆a. No precisamente para m铆, si no para mi hija.
En la noche del s谩bado me dijo que quer铆a hacerse un corte de cabello para empezar la escuela. A ella no le gusta ir al estilista (en eso se parece a m铆 馃き) por lo que me tocaba ese reto. Desde muy joven llevo el pelo corto y soy mi propia peluquera.
A mi hija no le inculqu茅 ese comportamiento, de hecho la llevaba cuando era m谩s peque帽a, hasta que con 11 a帽os me dijo que no quer铆a ir m谩s porque le era muy inc贸modo estar inm贸vil en un sill贸n por tanto tiempo. Desde entonces, sus cortes de cabellos (y otras aventurillas estil铆sticas 馃槣) se los hago yo.
No tengo ninguna formaci贸n en ese oficio, pero despu茅s de cortar tanta tela, papel y cart贸n me hago la idea de que el pelo es otro material y sin miedo me aventuro a ver que sale. A petici贸n de la clienta 馃き el corte esta vez ser铆a recto, corto y con flequillo.
Cutting straight hair without proper scissors is not the best idea, but with a little patience it all comes together. To make the task easier I initially cut a long section of the hair to start perfecting from there.
Cortar pelo lacio y sin tijeras apropiadas no es la mejor idea, pero con un poco de paciencia todo se logra. Para facilitar la tarea, inicialmente cort茅 un tramo largo del pelo y desde ah铆 comenzar a perfeccionar.
I separated the hair into sections with the illusion that it would be easier. Looking for information I found that in this type of haircut the layers of hair must be cut in an increasing way from the inner to the outermost. It wasn't easy at all, I spent a long time trying to make it look as good as possible.
Separ茅 el cabello en secciones con la ilusi贸n de que me ser铆a m谩s f谩cil. Buscando informaci贸n encontr茅 que en este tipo de corte las capas de cabello se deben ir cortando de forma creciente desde la interior hasta la m谩s externa. No fue nada f谩cil, estuve mucho rato tratando de que me quedara lo mejor posible.
After the straight cut was finished, I had to do the fringe, I sectioned the hair into a triangle shape at the front of the head starting at the midline. I took the hair between my fingers and twisted to cut it straight between the eyebrows. She wanted it just above the eyebrows.
Despu茅s de culminado el corte recto, me quedaba el flequillo. Seccion茅 el cabello en forma de tri谩ngulo en la parte anterior de la cabeza partiendo de la l铆nea media. Tom茅 el pelo entre los dedos y torc铆 para cortar en forma recta a la altura del entrecejo. Ella lo quer铆a justo sobre las cejas.
Finally the hair was washed and styled.
Finalmente el cabello fue lavado y peinado.
I was satisfied and my daughter was very happy. After all, my hairdresser's day didn't end so badly 馃槣, what do you think?
Qued茅 satisfecha y mi hija muy contenta. Despu茅s de todo, mi d铆a de peluquera no termin贸 tan mal 馃槣, que crees t煤?
