Where do you get your Hair Cut?

My wife cuts my hair now that most of the top has turned loose. Saves me $30.00 a month, $15.00 every two weeks.
Money that I now spend on Guns and Gun supplies.

Tisha's. A local one gal shop. $9.00 a pop, with tip...$14.00.

She does a good job, provides good conversation, and is not bad to look at either. :)

I've been going to the same old fashioned barber shop since 1971. He just told me he's closing shop at the end of the year. :mad: How are the national chains?

I've been through that -- went to the same shop for 25+ years and then we both retired. From personal experience, the chains suck. A lot of local shops suck too.

I found a new barber, a 1st Inf Div Viet Nam vet. He chews tobacco while cutting what's left of my hair. He leaves it thick over the bald spot.

What hasn't gone away has turned gray... I get what's left cut at Doc's on S. Boulevard... a man's barber shop... where you can get politically incorrect jokes and insults at the same time... and all for ten bucks! What a deal - only in America!
 
Old fashioned barber shop on Main Street. It even has a striped pole. ;)

I used to go to Miramar when it as an NAS but their standards have really slipped. If it ain't high & tight most of the "barbers" have no clue.

(And yes, being a barber is far more involved than being a mere stylist/cosmetologist/etc)

Exactly... thats why I search out an actual barber.
I am figuring that the pretty lady barbers a lot of people go to are stylists/cosmetologists.
I have never had a stylist give me a cut that comes close to a barbers cut.
Thus... I dont seek out their services.
Also, the wife loves the way I smell when I come back from the barber. :D

You know the difference between a bad hair cut and a good one?

Six weeks.

I get mine cut at "Hair Cuttery." It's cheap, quick, and the young ladies who work there don't want to bore me with sports, cars, politics, etc. They want to cut my hair and get me back out the door. Which is what I want them to do.

My tonsorial artiste' is a rather buxom blonde about 5'10' that wears a shirt about one size too small and always seems to forget to button the top two buttons. I love it when she leans over to wash my hair :D

My wife buzz's my head when it gets between 3/8" and 1/2". At least she does the sides, the top does it's self.
 
I know I am not the only member of this forum that gets hair cuts in Trenton, TN at Dudleys gun and barber shop. It is on 45W bypass across from McDonalds
 
I grew up with a retired Navy CPO for a father and so I had all my haircuts on base. I joined soon as I graduated from high school and haircuts continued to be courtesy of the US Navy...ship's barbours. I never had anything but a "regulation" haircut until I got out at age 25. I went to a local shop that was owned by a couple who became friends over the last 20 years. The lady became sick and had to have surgery and left the business and sold the shop a few months ago. So, for the last few months I have been going to a Great Clips shop. I picked it because its the closest place to my house. The young ladies are friendly and some of them rather fetching. The younger ones usually give me the senior's discount so I get the cut for $10. The age they have posted for that is 65 and I am 56 but they don't ask my age and I don't mind the discount. Besides, I feel like 65+ many days...It's funny how one goes back to the familiar. I experimented with longer hair and beards and mustaches. Now, I am clean shaven and have a "regulation" haircut...
 
I cut my own, just fluff it out and whack off anything that sticks out. This is also why I wear a hat all the time!
 
How are the national chains?

About what you expect for a $15.00 hair cut. Most of the chain places have rotating staff so you never get to work with one person who knows the best way to cut your hair, and they don't take appointments. Find a good stylist who will take appointments and work with you in getting your hair done the way you like it. It's a little more money but it is well worth it.
 
We still have a few old-fashioned shops with male barbers in this land of small towns and countryside, but only a few. For a number of years I went to one. A friend was the barber and his shop was decorated in antiques, including the barber chairs. Then his shop, located in the main business area of town, burned down(It was a dangerous fire for the volunteers to fight -in one of those old, old downtown brick buildings.). He was permitted to continue working for awhile in the beauty parlor down the street, and I continued to utilize his services. After a few years his leukemia got bad enough that he had to quit, and he died not long thereafter. There were no longer any male barbers nearby, so I began to go to a lady barber in a beauty shop in another small town six miles away. She actually does a little better, more consistent job than my old friend. It's a little more expensive too, but oh well. I never knew until a few years ago that tipping was an expected thing in these places(at least that is what I've heard), so I actually tip a little now, making the whole thing even more expensive. But I don't mind much, because I enjoy so much having short hair again. I always tell folks that my haircut days are always good days.

It appears to me that there are almost no men taking up this honorable profession anymore. At least in this area there are no young men doing it.

I give the Mr. a clipper cut most of the year. I go in strike in November, so he goes and gets a nice cut right before the company Christmas party. The haircut money saved goes to buy me a hot little number to wear to said party :)

I pay to have mine cut, at a local place--no chain haircuts. none! no consistency, no service, no quality, no personal touch. I don't want a McHaircut so I go get it and some other girly painful things done at a salon that's reasonable--not cheap, but fair. Some things are not worth the money you save (like a Taurus firearm)

I do my own coloring since that can run up to 3 digits with no decimal if I go somewhere and have it done.
