Blanca Blanco: Hair Cutting Machine

That's my name.

Don't wear it out.

Well it's my name according to about 2000 hairstylists.

"Hairstylists..? Did I hear that right..?"

Why yes, yes you did.

This weekend I worked a hair show.

"What?! you're a model?!"

Uhh.. not exactly.

Although it's so sweet of you to think so. 

Ya know how everyone works those odd jobs at some point in their life?

Well, this weekend I worked one of those jobs.

I sold hair cutting shears. 

Now lets remember that my experience is a little lacking. 

Actually I have none, other than the fact that

at age four I cut my brothers hair.

It was a hack job.

I used the safety scissors with the plastic covering the blade.

I cut random chunks.

They were forced to buzz the rest off.

I did an excellent job.

If you're ever in need of a hair cut, hit me up. 

I know absolutely nothing about what each different type of shears do.

 I didn't even know they were called shears until two days ago. 

I called  them scissors. 

So when I was forced to sell them to hairstylists my pitch went a little like this: 

"I know they cut hair.

I know they're sharp.

I know they are shiny.

Wanna buy some?"

Kidding.

Well, kind of.

It went more like :

"These are pretty great.

You'll do a great job. 

Why don't you try 'em out on the mannequin?

Wanna buy some?"

Essentially, I spent all weekend pretending I was a hairstylist.

 I thought I failed miserably, but apparently not because

I was asked to freelance.

Had I agreed, that would include flying all over the country and selling products.

I politely declined even though I was pretty flattered. 

But the best part..

My free hair products.

The booth next to the one I was working

sold all sorts of hair products and since I was working next to them,

I got some swag. 

These bottles run about 30 bucks a pop.

So I'd say it's a win for me. 

Plus look how cute that packaging is! 

So if y'all ever need any tips on shears and/or hair products,

let me know. I can make up a reasonable answer for you. 

Blanca out.
