General advice to stylists.

Today I got my hair cut--and, if you must know, I also had my top lip waxed (I wanted to be clearly out of contention for our family's Mustache Competition). She did a good job. Except. There are two things a stylist might consider not saying to a client:

• "Do you want me to wax under here [indicating the general region of my chin], too?" Really? Really? I know that I have a certain skill at growing the kind of mexistache that a ten-year-old might covet. I'm pretty sure a fifteen-year-old could blow me out of the water. And, until about half an hour ago, I was completely confident that I had no beard-growing skills whatsoever. Please don't feed on my self-confidence fears regarding facial hair, Friend.
• "Have you been experiencing any hair loss?" Uh, come again? She was actually asking me if I'd lost any hair after Cecily (which we'd been shooting the bull about, given that I was getting a hair cut), but it seems to me that when you're running your hands through someone else's hair isn't the best time to ask indirect questions indicating that that someone might have a bald spot. Note: I do not have a bald spot.
