Title: Haircuts
Post by: Mr. DS on May 04, 2010, 11:45:30 AM
I was going to make this a poll but figured I'd keep it general discussion.   Hell, I may have already brought it up in the past but don't remember.   :bouncegiggle:  

How often do you cut your hair?  When you do, where do you usually go?  Barber, salon or does someone do it for you?  Or are you a loon like me and cut your own hair?

I cut my hair usually once every few weeks.  I can't stand having hair on the sides and back so I usually shave it down to skin and trim the top up in a half @ssed fade.  I usually end up jarhead (ish) but its good enough to pass off as a normal cut.  I don't like the idea of paying over 10 bucks for a haircut.  I'm immensely frugal and don't think my 10 minutes in a chair should be worth that much.  Especially since I would be in there several times a year.

Katie cuts mine every week.  Standard high and tight.

Unless I'm in a hurry, once a day, in the shower, with a Mach 3 razor.

I do keep a rechargeable electric shaver in my desk for those busy days. Not perfect, but better than nothing. I hate getting stubble up there. Gotta be smooth.

I am also a full baldy. However, I only shave my dome about twice a week, not every day like Andy C.

In fact, Andy C's avater always freaks me out because it looks quite a bit like me, down to the facial hair and glasses.

Mine's down to my waist.  (Guys are not the ony ones to let it grow long!) I get it cut back by about half every couple of years, just to tidy up the ends. I usually hand my daughter a sharp pair of scissors and ask her to do it: it's a simple job.

I usually go to Cost Cutters, but last time my wife cut it for me.  I sort of look like Apollo from the original Battlestar Galactica now.  I like it  :teddyr:

I go to Great clips about every 6 weeks.  A #4 clipper attachment on the sides and back, then cut the top with scissors.

My hair is shaved down to the bristles.  I cut it myself with electric clippers about every 7 to 10 days.  After 10 days it starts to get unruly (like a Chia Pet).

Down to the waist?  Oh, wow. 

Okay, I should go find another thread to read.  I just really like long hair on most women, but...we'll move on to safer things.


I had my hair cut short recently. Well, short for me. Didn't remember it wanting to curl so much. Oh well. I actually like it better this way. I look at myself and think, "My god, I'm actually not bad looking." Amazing how a haircut can be empowering.

I once dated a greek girl whose hair was at least a foot below her waist. She was also unbelievably hot and a bit out of my league. Managed to make that relationship last six months. Not sure how I pulled that off.

6-8 months at a time.

I get my hair cut about every 6 weeks. It's short, and it seems the shorter the style the quicker it's sticking out all over! I love longer hair, I just don't have the patience to deal with long hair.

 I usually trim my own bangs or whatever is sticking up that I don't like.  I get my hair cut professional once every few years.  It always costs around $50, I always hate it, and I never go back to the same place.  I can't justify paying that much unless I leave looking completely different, so a couple years ago I went in with butt-length black hair and came out with chin-length blonde hair!.. which I promptly colored pink when I came home!  I kept it pink for about 3 years before my job told me I needed to change it to a more normal color :bluesad:.  I really loved having pink hair.

Sounds like my wife. She had long hair when I met her, cut it short after we got married, and has never successfully grown it out since. It reaches a certain length, and it sticks out too much, and she just can't seem to do anything with it. Then she goes back and gets it cut again. She buzzed it for a while, and she has mentioned a couple of times how nice that was. Get up, take a shower, towel off and get dressed. It was quite a convenience after we had Rowan, and she just didn't have the time for grooming. Once every week or two, I'd give her a #2 on top, blended to a #1 back and sides. To be honest, of all the looks she's sported, that was my favourite. Suited her face, her jewellery, her clothes perfectly. Of course, then she got a new job and didn't want to look too unconventional to start, and four years later she's still fighting with her hair.

Is it any wonder I shaved mine off when I was 22 and for the most part, have stayed bald ever since. Hair is overrated.

I give the scissors to my husband about every 6 months or so to cut off the split ends but that's about it. I don't get it professionally cut because im cheap and I don't like strange people touching me.   :teddyr:

Actually, that's the one thing I miss about having hair. Used to love getting that shampoo at the salon. Felt great.

What's a haircut?  :question:

I got long, hippie hair.  Down to my shoulder blades.  I just pony tail it if I'm going out in public.

Once a year I have my head shaved for the SA Cansa Shavathon (I didn't do it this year) and look like this:  :buggedout: :buggedout:

Otherwise, a #1 haircut every three months.  :smile:

usually I get my hair cut at the local barber once a month and get the "regular", when I have the funds. Since my job status is now "whenever they need me and everyone else has called in dead" it's been a while. I haven't had a pony tail since 2000, looks like it's coming back.

Same. I do get my hair cut twice a year because they grow like crazy. My niece is a hairdresser so she always gets the honors.

Oh I just remembered, I don't get a haircut, I get a multi-hair cut. just cutting one of my hairs won't be noticed! :teddyr:
