hair salons

[InternationalPlayboy]

I

tried to tell my desired hairstyle to a barber and got the strangest look. I guess they're into old-fashioned

stuff.

I haven't been to a barber since I was a teenager, back in the early 1970s.

Barbers

do seem to only know one cut. Though I remember being happy with one military barber ( I was an army brat) who gave

me a great cut. I said to cut it to look like it hadn't been cut. He did a great job, but boy, was my dad pissed.

Because I let my hair grow out a year or two later, I soon started going to a beauty shop to get a razor cut, which

was "in" at the time.

Not only do the women in the salons seem more versatile, but I would rather have a

woman playing with my hair than some guy. Though I guess they do have women barbers now. And I wouldn't have a man

in a salon cut my hair either.

I'm real picky about haircutters. Once I find one I like, I stick with them.

I remind myself of a "Married With Children" episode, where Al bundy's barber died. He went for a year or more

without a haircut because he was afraid of having to break in a new barber.

TRock, I think the best thing to

do is bring in a picture of the hairstyle you want when you go to get it cut.

As for choosing a stylist,

it's either luck of the draw or maybe you could get local recommendations from a friend.

I'm reminded of an

old riddle. There was a small town with two barbers. One had a nice clean shop and a perfect haircut. The other

barber's hair was a mess and his shop was filthy too. Which barber should you go to?

The answer is the

barber with the bad haircut. If there are only two barbers in town, they would have to cut each other's hair.
