this is an anxiety post. i know the law is on my side but im not talking about legalities.
for all intents and purposes i am a woman, but i consider myself pretty butch. i usually cut my own hair but sometimes i dont want to. i wont turn it into a rant, but i have had very little success at normal salons or super clips or whatever.
will i be laughed out? will i be taken in reluctantly but theyll be seething on the inside? will they all think im a filthy queer?

Growing up, I (22F) remember finding more and more ways I differed from a lot of the other girls around me.
I have always been averse to shaving, it always feels like a chore and my skin is sensitive so I get razor bumps and irritation pretty regularly. All the other hair removal services cost more money than I'm bothered to spend on something I am overall very frustrated by as body hair has nothing to do with actual cleanliness.
While most of my friends took to tampons and thongs quickly to minimize the sight of underwear and not walk around wearing a "diaper," I genuinely could never get into either. I've always HATED the feeling of thongs. I genuinely never understood what made panty lines a big deal and this made me feel pretty alienated. Tampon insertion was always very painful for me to the point where I avoided them at all costs.
I did wear makeup a lot growing up. It was mainly to cover my acne, which also made me very insecure as I internalized the idea of clear skin being a key to being attractive early on. At some point during high school I got tired of spending extra time and money doing makeup every day so I decided to just start going bare face. I definitely felt unattractive doing this as most girls around me stuck to doing daily makeup.
I never really learned how to do a lot of hair styling so I've always worn my hair in a few pretty basic styles and it's looked the same pretty much my whole life besides one shoulder length chop and some minimal experimentation with darker colors and highlights. I've never been to a salon since they are so so so expensive.
To this day, I mainly go out bare faced with minimally styled hair. I don't feel that great about it cause I know I could look 10x better with makeup and a hairstyle with effort put in each day. I just can't bring myself to get up an hour+ earlier, spend more money, and break my skin out even worse to achieve these results.
I've also had a lot of social experiences that have led me to feel alienated and insecure.
I've never been in a relationship and I never really received attention from guys growing up. I had one guy that knowingly had a crush on me and he displayed very alarming behavior so I just avoided the hell out of him. Even now I only really get attention from guys that clearly don't have good intentions. I'm not really happy single but I'd rather stay this way than entertain guys that will not respect me or may end up hurting me.
A lot of my friends and other girls around me have been attracted to the much older "dad" types and I've never been that way. Idk maybe I've just seen too much creep behavior but older men just rub me the wrong way a lot. I've only ever been attracted to guys my age or a little older. It's made me feel weird when everyone's agreeing over this dad looking guy being attractive and I'm just like ??
Another thing that's also made me feel insecure has been when friends have told me about all the free stuff they get from guys in public. I don't think I've ever just gotten free stuff at shops/restaurants or anything like that but it seems to happen to them pretty frequently. I mean, I've had guys offer to pay for dinner on dates but never just randomly like that.
Now these things are definitely all pretty small individually but when taken altogether, I've come to feel pretty insecure about my femininity. I know that I should just "be myself" and "do what I'm comfortable with" but I feel like I'm looked at as weird and/or undesirable as a lot of these are things standardly associated with femininity/hygiene/attractiveness.
I've come to feel like the odd one out with so many of these things and it sucks cause it's just How I Am. I've always felt different from a lot of girls around me and I don't feel like it's been a rejection of femininity or girls cause I've always hung around girls and pretty much exclusively have had girl friends. I don't make a huge deal of not having any feminine traits or anything like that. I just feel Different in a really bad way.

My wife is an experienced Hair Professional making really good money and already managing her current salon she works at. Long story short but getting out of there is vital and she is more than ready to have her own salon.
What I'm finding is difficult in getting a business loan for this as the salon when it starts needs capital but won't have business history.
​
Personal loans are an option but a lot say they can't be used for business and I wonder if doing so would break the law which I absolutely do not want to do.
​
Unfortunately as a business that requires a physical space to serve customers we need capital right away and just don't have enough personal money to pay for the startup costs all at once.
​
She has her heart set on doing this, we have found a great space and had money lined up until economic stuff made them back out. I really want to be supportive and helpful without doing something reckless. Any advice?

Partnership with 4gamer, a Japanese game news site, where there will be interviews, articles, game guides, and perhaps other community content.
You will need to set a PIN in-game starting on the second login, to secure your account. It's entered by mouse so be careful not to stream it.
Play by the rules and respect other players.
Next stream is planned to be #9 in early July.

Post-stream gameplay showcase (1:51:03)

They showed some never-before-seen stuff, like Score Attack (2:04:15) and Evergreen Desert (including Salamzart Oasis) after a short intermission. The rest of the stream is unscripted, and they show off things like new enemies, weapon skins, outfits, emotes, accessories, and Einrain battle imagines. Photo mode can now pause skills as well, which was earlier stated to not be supported, although the effects won't pause (1:54:03).

Sorry In advance for the long post!
I’m in Massachusetts, and a w2 worker for info
So I work at a private salon, and me and my coworkers feel as though we are being taken advantage of. We have other issues with our boss, but recently we have been recognizing just how much cleaning we do. We get there a half hour before our first dogs to set up the tubs and get ready, and are often there after our last dogs for another 30 minutes to an hour sometimes even longer. We also occasionally have “meetings” which are after work or on a day off which we are expected to come in on, and since we are commission, we don’t get any pay for these. Recently we had one that I was never even informed of, about our cleaning. My boss went over every single thing that we have to do, which is like three full lists and then we have weekly deep cleaning we have to do as well, and showed how each thing she didn’t think we were doing good enough. It was things like she would find a little tuft of hair in the tub corner after, or a little hair on the shampoo bottles, which I feel is not fair to us. She also goes in the back on the days she is there at the end of the day and checks the whole lists before we are allowed to leave. Now, on top of all this, the other day she informed us that there will now be a point system for clocking in. If we are late 3 minutes that will be a -3 for the day and if we are early 3 minutes the next day it will be a +3 and our week score for those days would be zero. If we are late four minutes every day we would have a score of -80 or so and if that number at the end of the month is more than double the days we work, which is usually 18-20 days or so as we work 10 hour shifts, then she is going to schedule us for 80 minutes of extra cleaning, to “motivate” us to be on time for work. I’m pretty angry at this, as I usually get there around 8:35 which is about 5 minutes late and even after setting up, still have an extra 10 minutes of waiting around for my first dog. I’m thinking of quitting as I was already pretty burnt out, and now just absolutely dread the idea of going there
TLDR: I’m curious how much cleaning and what time other commission workers get to work as me and my coworkers feel as though we are in a bad situation.

Can we just recognize how well Jim Butcher writes and develops side characters? Each one has a distinct personality that doesn't feel flat, and clear growth and development.

• Thomas who starts as a cheeky vamp side character to Harry's brother and partner in crime who is in love and pretends to be gay and operates a hair salon
• Murphy who is Harry's better half and bestie
• Butters who starts off as a nerdy ME>! and turns into a freaking Jedi!<
• Molly who starts as just a kid, then an apprentice, and then a powerful wizardess of her own
• Lily who turns into a Summer Lady with her knight Fix
• Sanya a freaking atheist Knight of the Cross
• Michael who is the strongest normie physical combatant in the series but gets CRIPPLED (wasn't expecting that at all)
• Even Charity who could've been a flat character (just Michael's wife) but was actually a former practitioner and a metalworker and warrior in her own right
• Marcone, the gangster with a heart

I could go on. Just mad props to Butcher.
EDIT: Oh, and Ramirez the VIRGIN. I literally doubled over laughing when I got THAT revelation.

Ughh, I'm so embarressed! Don't know how I'm going to manage school next week.
I was crouched down, looking at the hair removal products in the mall today, when I heard someone shout "femboy over here!" Behin me
I got up, turning around to look; and there were three of the boys from my school all laughing and grinning at me - before ducking out of sight. I don't know how I'm going to face them on Monday, fuuuck!!
I'm both totally red-faced embarressed, and also a little happy someone noticed... but of all people WHY THEM???

Hey guys, I’m primarily a hairstylist, not a barber, but there are no subs for hairstylists that are active so I’m hoping you can help me out. I’m moving out of state soon, and I was offered a job by a salon that does booth rental. The owner says she’ll put me on 50/50 commission until I build a clientele, but that I should have no problem building one bcs its a college town and a busy area.
I’ve been really successful working commission, found all my clients myself, etc. My current boss charges way under market value for womens’ hair ($35 per cut, $150 for highlights, $65/hr for creative color), and I only make 40% commission so I think I could make even more at pretty much any other salon.
My dilemma is that my partner and I found an apartment thats ~1490/mo not including utilities, and I want to be confident I’ll be able to make rent. I have a buffer of about 10k saved up to help out until I get on my feet. The booth rent is $250/wk or $1000/mo. Based on your own experiences booth renting, do you think $1800 in rent for both the apartment and the booth per month is doable? I’ve only worked customer service up until now, so I can’t even imagine raking in that amount of money in a month but I know lots of stylists make that and way more.
Thank you!

It's hard to believe in big hairy monsters. Megafauna can't exist without lots of breeding grounds and large populations, but I actually saw a big hairy thing when driving over Boggy Creek.
I saw the sign as I drove over the river and then turned my head to look at the water. There I saw a person in silhouette who looked like a tall, burly man with hair everywhere. Normally I would think it was just a dude, but the hair was intense. Even in the shade that covered him, I could tell he looked like someone wearing a chewbacca costume or something.
Again, I don't believe the Boggy Creek Creature can be real, but if enough people saw what I saw, I can imagine a legend growing.
