I want to go to my usual barber but she was out sick and her shop was closed.
That sounds frustrating. Were you able to find another barber?
I went to three barbers and finally gave up.
It's good that your barber isn't working while she's sick because that could make everyone else sick. If it's an emergency, there are plenty of other places you can go to get your haircut, or you could even do it yourself!
I just ended up doing it myself. Messed up extremely badly.
How about you watch some videos showing tips about haircuts? Maybe you can do a better job the next time you try.
