Barber Shops

Me ?
Haircut ?

[Ed, Ego and Superego]

My father took me to a barber named Mr. Yohei for my first few years of haircuts.  He had a kids chair shaped like a horse!


After he died, it was the militrary barber for years.  Then I just had to go to fancier places in high school, then I lost hair interest, and hair.  I now go to the barber for a buzz or have my wife do it if the kids allow every 6 weeks or so.

A quick google shows me the place still exisit 30+years later!


Next tiem I'm there I may have to get a cut.

So, how many guys with shaved heads are there on this board anyway? The subject has come up, but I don't think we've ever gotten a complete count. There have to be at least four or five board regulars who keep shaved, and more who have done it occasionally or just once.

Keep in mind that by my definition, nothing is shaved if you haven't used a razor on it.

I'm curious too. I would recommend a new thread, fellow baldy.

I never Bic my hair bald but I do butch it from time to time with no clipper attachment.

Side note aside from shaved heads, is there anyone out there (aside Ghouck who we know sports one of few afromullets) that has worked an odd haircut?  What kind of haircuts have you sported in the past?

As a kid I sported the standard boy's haircut with it parted to one side.  That got old for me in the late 80s so I opted for a spiked hair cut.

I tried looking for a men's hair chart online but couldn't really find a good one.  Can someone find one to post?

There are still a number of old fashioned barbershops around where I live, and when I need a haircut and a shave I go to one. I must say, the only thing I hate more than getting my hair cut, is going to the doctor. Thus, now that I am retired I go alot less frequently then I did, when I was working. Actually, the only thing that does get me into the barber's chair is my passport photo, where I'm clean-shaven and have short hair. Thus, when I fly out of the country, which is about twice a year, and I need my passport, I think it's a good idea to look like my passport photo and get a shave and haircut. Otherwise I just let my hair and beard grow out.

Ditto, totally.  It has been probably 3 years since I had one.  I like it long in the back to compensate for nothing on top.

Back when I was 18 or so, I had a mullet of Billy Ray Cyrus proportions. Prior to that, I'd mostly done the feathered, centre-parted 80s do, about collar length, then just combed straight back. From the mullet, I went spiky on top, and gradually shorter in the back, to a modest flattop, then to a flattop with whitewalls (what the barber called "to the wood"), and from there to an all-over buzz. I was a bit curious about shaving my head, but didn't quite have the nerve to do it. Finally, when I was about 23, I came home a little bit liquored up one Saturday night, and I just figured what the hell. That was in the fall. Between the cooling weather and being very self-conscious (there is a big difference between a quarter-inch of hair and no hair if you've never done it before), I grew it right back. I didn't try keeping it shaved until the following summer. And I've pretty much been bald ever since.

Never had the experience of getting my hair cut at a typical barber. Only hair salons where I grew up.
My niece is a hair stylist so I get minor but professional trimming every 2 1/2 months or so.

In the late 80s I sported the St. Paul haircut. Pretty much like this:



with dyed strains  

I shaved my head once but it was totally not my look. My hair these days are pretty much collar length including my bangs. I never leave the house without a ponytail though.

I haven't set foot in a salon or barber shop since late 2002. 
It kinda sucks because this cute married thirty-something Vietnamese woman used to cut my hair and she always made me look good.  I miss talking to her and her husband while I sat in her barber chair.  Sometimes her elderly mother would be there and speak only in Vietnamese while looking at me.  Made me wonder what they were saying.  I asked once and was told, "She says you're going bald." 

On Superbowl Sunday 2003, my head, which had been losing hair for the past year, was shaved by two girls who convinced me to do it.  They shaved it all off and it looked pretty good!
I've been shaving it ever since.  With a razor and shaving cream.

and more who have done it occasionally or just once.

I count among the occasionals.

the feathered, centre-parted 80s do, about collar length, then just combed straight back.

That's my style today.

Done. I've put up a poll.
