Haircut of doom?!?!

I went to the barber shop today to get my haircut. I had to wait about 15 minutes until it was my turn. In that time, 2 little boys came into the barber shop (not at the same time) to get their haircut. I ask for a certain barber, so one of the little boys went up before me. I saw that he was very calm and everything. He didn't even speak.

Then it was my turn, and the other boy also went to a different barber at the same time. As I sat down, I saw in the mirror that the second little boy was going crazy. He was really scared. Throughout his whole haircut, he was screaming in fear. I looked in the mirror the whole time watching him.

Seeing that little boy made me realize how dangerous getting a haircut can be... If you think about it, there are bunch of different sharp instruments getting really close to something very fragile. Your brain is the most important organ in your body, if that's damaged, you cannot function properly. We trust random strangers to use scissors, and other sharp objects close to our head. You don't know the person, and yet you trust him/her/it to get the chance to kill you at anytime? I say that's pretty trusting...

I always cringe every time I get a haircut, or a trim. Even if I know the barber personally, I am never at ease when I see scissors getting really close to my head. Is that normal?
