    Yes we can.

    That is true, but when they have to take at least 100 strands and you are a gal with thin hair to begin with, let's just say it's noticeable. I don't care who you are, that's a lot of hair.

    Nope. My current trainee had his armpits shaved 10 days ago at the clinic before getting on my truck.

    But honestly... 100 strands?
    Seems a bit much to me.

    I’m already going bald,
    So I guess it won’t matter... lol

    100 strands is not really that much. I had the hair test at Knight. In the ladies room at the terminal strangely enough.

    Tell that to the bald spots I now have on my head. My hair is thin enough without having it butchered. I've had the hair test for a different job before and it was nowhere near as messed up as this. The guy just took a straight line across the back of my head. This was about almost a dime size cutting in 4 different locations. THAT'S what I'm upset about. Not the fact that it's being done now. I know I'm clean. But it looks horrible and I sure as heck hope it doesn't have to be done very often. It's all in the technique.

    The nurse was telling me about a guy who had alopecia and the company wanted a hair test. They had to call and explain that he had no hair anywhere and ask how they wanted to proceed.
     
    Lonesome and Silverdriver Thank this.
