In Utah, most hairdressers are female. Furthermore, they're the type of females with poofy bleached hair. They have a hard time understanding why I would even want my hair so short. Most of the time they run their artificial nails through it a few times, act scared when I tell them what I want, and then cut it so it looks something like this:

When I found Pat, my search was over.
Aside from being a talented hair stylist, Patrick understands the aesthetic of haircuts beyond the poofy and bleached. And here's where my theory really kicks in: because he's a completely heterosexual male (who acquires most of his dates from customers) he knows what's attractive to men and will cut your hair accordingly. I would never let anyone else cut it so short, but I have an absolute trust in him to keep it feminine and flattering.And for those who are wondering, I do believe the reverse is true. Guys, go ahead and get your hair cut by the poofy blonde girls. You're the ones who can and should keep them in business.
