Encounter With the Barber

The original writing prompt said fictional but this is a true story that once happened to me several years ago. I needed a haircut one day while I was shopping with my dad and brother. We were in Cedar Rapids, just leaving Best Buy I believe. We decided to go to the Super Cuts right next door. We get in there and I'm the last one to get a hair cut between me, my brother, and my dad. I was getting my hair fairly short, like I normally do. The lady the was cutting my hair had a pair of clippers and was trimming around by my ears. I felt something hit the back of my ear, like something pinched it. I didn't pay too much attention to it. The girl continues trimming on the other ear and then looks back over and says, "Oh my god you're bleeding!" I was like really? I guess it was the clippers that pinched me. So she got a band aid for me and put it on and then gave me a card for a free hair cut for the next visit. Unfortunately for her I did not want to go back to that place after that experience. Ever since then I get nervous every time I get the hair around my ears trimmed with clippers.
