I recently went to get my haircut. I was not pleased with my stylist so I went to a new salon. I made an appointment and arrived on time. I had to wait a few minutes as both stylists were finishing up. There were two stylists, one appeared to be older and was more conventional. The other was younger, with pink hair and tattoos on her arms. The first stylist asked me if I had a preference. I hesitated because I am very conservative in my appearance. I am a teacher who still wears a shirt and tie to school. I told her it did not matter, despite having an innate prejudice against tattoos. I was a bit apprehensive when I was told that the woman with tattoos would be my stylist.
I was pleased to wrong in my superficial judgement. My stylist was one of the most pleasant and considerate that I have ever had. She did an excellent job. I made sure that I got her name because I have found a new stylist. The old adage is true "You can not judge a book by its cover." I will not be so quick to judge in the future.
