Is there any day better than....

[Fritz]

....haircut day?

I think not.

[Easy Mac]

man, I just got a haircut today too. I was in and out of there in 5 minutes... just like sex.

(you can insert the requisite "sex lasts less than 5 minutes for Easy Mac" jokes here).

[korme]

I hate doing it probably because I do it myself and it is every other Sunday and gets tedious. Fugggggggggit.

[tucker342]

why do you get a haircut every other Sunday???

[Easy Mac]

becuase the other sunday nights he covers the blade on the electric razor and just lets it run on vibrate...

[korme]

Because I basically buzz it and she grows quickly.

[korme]

And other Sundays i cover the blade on the razor and just let it run on vibrate.

[BigJohn&TheLions]

Haven't had a haircut since Denver beat Green Bay. (been bald ever since...)

Same here. For some wildly irrational reason I begrudge every minute spent sitting in that stupid chair.

Aww, but when you're done, you get to strut around lookin' sharp.

[Fritz]

there is nothing like sitting in a real barbershop chair with an old guy chewing bac and hearing the hum of a set well oiled clippers. Then the hot towel, warm foam over the ears and on the back of the neck, the cool glide of a well handeled straightrazor, and splash of aqua velva.

i love haircut day

[Craptacular]

There is nothing like getting a hot 20-something hairdresser who thinks her chest is the best place to rest your head while she cuts, then spends a couple of minutes massaging and scratching your head to get all the loose hair out.

Yeah, she got a good tip.

[korme]

are you straight?

[korme]

That was not for you, Crappytits.

[Fritz]

you can not call it haircut day if you go to a stylist.

Thanks for the clarification Shortyd..... well, we'll just leave it at that.

you need to find a real barbershop. one with lather and straightrazors

[JeeberD]

There's no way I ever let anyone near me with a straightrazor...

[Airhog]

there is a place here where you can get a nude haircut. You can also get a nude shoeshine. I would imagine the shoeshine can be painfull though.

I agree.

If I wanted to look like a 60 year old retired Army vet, I'd go to a barbershop.

I must admire your time management skills. Combining a haircut with a lap dance has gotta free up hours.

I am already missing haircut day.

ITS HAIRCUT DAY!

[sabotai]

Haircut day?

You actually cut your hair? I let mine grow until a situation arises when I have to get it cut. Last time was in December, the time before that was about 2 years ago.

[korme]

you go nearly 2 months between 'cuts??

[Bearcat729]

I get my hair cut with the change in seasons.

I try not to, but I work long days and am often not able to get to the barber before closing time.

[ice4277]

I too detest haircut day. Probably has something to do with the fact that I always get stuck with this short ogre-like woman who makes these weird heavy breathing sounds through the entire process.

Come to think of it, there are probably some people who would pay extra to get that.

[Fritz]

ice - you need to find a barber.

[The Afoci]

I cut about 8 or 9 inches of hair off my head about a month ago. It was glorious.

That reminds me of the time you joined the Peace Corps for two years because you thought there'd be lots of hot, deprived chicks. But most of them turned out to be hairy lesbians. Lucky you got to work in Somalia... most of their women can't even afford clothes.

I tried that recently when my hair was long. Didn't work. I went to the fro. Again, little luck. I guess a white guy in Fargo will just have to be happy to have a penis the size of a black man.

One of the nice things about shaving my head to support my chemo undergoing Dad is that I don't have to spend money on getting the crap cut. :)

But now I'm sad cause the girlfriend is making me grow it back... :(

[Fritz]

nope, still the best day.

[sabotai]

And I still haven't had my haircut since before the start of this thread...

[korme]

I haven't cut my hair since school has been out. I have gone from a very short buzz, to like.. 1 and a half inches of hair. It's borderline ridiculous.

[JeeberD]

I'm planning on getting my sides trimmed tomorrow. With my hair growing back from baldness I'm starting to look like a dandelion puffball...

[McSweeny]

after cutting my own hair for 2 years or so, i finally made it back to the barber. As i was getting the hot lather treatment i closed my eyes and thought of this thread

no, there is no better day than haircut day

[sterlingice]

What is it with you people and your insane forum necromancy?

Nope, still no haircut for me. :)

You see, Fritz knows how this is supposed to be done. Getting a cut at a old barbershop with all the trimmings, nothing like it.

Hell, I guarantee I pay nearly double what I'd pay at a Supercuts or whatever they call themselves these days, to go to a true barbershop.

For those that haven't tried it, you ought to sometime.

I prefer to just let my hair go...

I think it's a lost art.There was a barbershop run by first and second generation Italians in my home town. Nothing like getting your fringe cut with shaving cream and a real razor sharpened on the strop. Then reeking of rum aftershave all day.

[korme]

welp i cut my hair from the last time i posted, shaved as usual about 2 weeks into college, haven't cut it since. it's all the same length, probably 3 inches which is actually quite long, as everyone comments my hair is getting long since no one has seen me with hair this long, maybe since i was in 6th grade with a bowl cut.

yep, there really is nothing like a REAL barbershop. It costs me 14 bucks and i always throw in a couple of bucks for a tip. I dread the day that he (finally) decides to retire and i have to look for a new barber

I didn't think so either. But how about haircut day plus The Princess Bride being on TV in less than a half an hour?

[CamEdwards]

curse you and your need for barbers. i just break out the mach 3 every morning and shave face and head.

I do use bay rum aftershave, however.

[CamEdwards]

usually burt's bees bay rum shaving soap with a shaving brush. if not then whatever's handy, or nothing at all.

[Desnudo]

The Small Island of Dominica. Columbus discovered it, named it, and left it alone. It’s north of Martinique. And it is the home, since 1907, of a very good West Indian Bay Rum manufactured under the Dominica brand-name.
Bay Rum has a fairly quiet scent, less strong than anything called perfume, less strong than anything called aftershave, but not so quiet as to be boring. It is, in fact, quite sexy.
It is sexy the way skin begins to smell from strong sun, salt water, steel drums, breaking waves, moving palm branches and giggling coming from somewhere.
Men liked Bay Rum long before 1907, when the Dominica brand started. Men have liked Bay Rum since Spanish Main days. They like it for the least complicated reason in the world: it smells good.

[GoldenEagle]

I got my haircut today. It feels good.

[korme]

First time I've been to a barber in 5 years, my hair was getting shaggy. He did a good job for what I asked for, but I still don't like it. I will probably shave it.

[JeeberD]

I didn't shave me head the other day but I didn't go to the barber either.

Still trying to decide what I want to do...

[JeeberD]

Dola-

Fuck it, the hair is all coming off...

[JeeberD]

Double dola-

Ahhh...all gone. :)

[korme]

I think I like my new haircut actually, I like the length alot. It's different. The only thing I miss is my wings.

[korme]

Another haircut. This time it is shit. I'm so mad, I just shaved my head.

It was crappy cause the guy that did me well a month ago was available too but the other guy told me to sit and I didn't want to be rude.

Haircut day today sucks!

[MikeVic]

On a related note, I have a dilemma like Shorty's. My regular hairdresser is good, and I like how she cuts my hair.

However, her daughter is training to be a hairdresser too, and is super hot. She did my hair once when her mom was on vacation, and it wasn't so good. But she's hot.

[Craptacular]

Perhaps you can solve this dilemma by having both mother and daughter do you at the same time.

[sabotai]

After nearly 2 years......haircut day. I think I lost like 5 pounds off my head.

[finketr]

i had haircut day last friday.

[Icy]

I hated the time lost waiting at the barber shop waiting my turn so i bought a cutting machine and scissors when i was 18 and have been cutting it myself until now that i'm 30. I'm pretty skilled after 12 years and i don't even need a mirror :)

[Neuqua]

Bah to Haircut day!

Trying to get myself somewhat decent looking for next week's formal and the lady today decides to completely buzz up my hair. Leaving a fraction of what was there before. Damn bitch.

[st.cronin]

It's been three months since I cut my hair (or shaved). I am cultivating a crazy mountain man look.

[JeeberD]

Trying to fit in with the locals, eh?

[st.cronin]

Not really. It's just the first time in a looooooooong time that I don't have to be clean cut ... and I just don't feel motivated. Plus the g/f actually seems to LIKE it.

[ColtCrazy]

Ugh. I tend to avoid haircuts for a week longer than I have to. Hate the forced conversations that happen yet feel like I need to respond to them to entertain the person with the sharp implement in their hand.

[thesloppy]

Yeah, haircuts might be a good indicator for social anxiety. I certainly don't enjoy or look forward to them, because I can't get past the fact that this stranger is deep into my personal space, repeatedly touching my head and face, and asking me a bunch of personal questions.

Plus there's the fact that seemingly nobody takes appointments for haircuts in this town anymore, because of course it's way cooler to wait in line a half-hour for a haircut, and everybody loves to do that.

[vex]

I just close my eyes when I'm getting a haircut to stop the talking. Works ~50% of the time. I'm looking into implementing this strategy for all social settings.

[CU Tiger]

greatclips checkin app.
Be the douche. Check in a solid hour early when you show up you are top of the list.

Then make up BS to tell the chick cutting your hair. Last time one asked me what I did I told them I worked for a company that made the tint for the space shuttle windows. Ive claimed to be the guy that hauls off the deal flowers from lowes. Nope nothing else. Just the dead flowers. I look for ways to entertain myself. Or just pretend to sign at them and act deaf.

There is a weirdness to this thread for me. It's over 10 years old. Most of the posts came within 1 year of the OP. And yet for some reason it feels like I've been seeing it randomly over and over again as the years have gone by, when that's an impossibility.

I cut my own hair. Bought a fancy kit from the CVS. The electric razor is magnificent, but if I'm being honest, it's the cape that seals the deal. Sometimes at the end I'll run outside to shake all the leftover off and run around like Superman.

[korme]

Bad haircuts are also the worst day ever. Last week the lady really jammed me up, left too much up top and didnt blend correctly. I have to ride this bullshit out for a couple more weeks.

[Vince, Pt. II]

If she left too much, can't you go back and have her cut more off?

[Julio Riddols]

I thought the same thing when I went searching for the thread.

[korme]

I was already cutting it short on time going to work, so maybe but I had already told her once and she did like a 1/12" inch more off so I internally said fuck it.

[Radii]

Yeah, haircuts might be a good indicator for social anxiety.

I just get it buzzed really short, but I like having someone else do it and they do even out edges and stuff that I wouldn't do well on my own. The haircut feeling is great and totally pushes any sort of "oh god is she going to want to talk to me, will I be comfortable talking to her if she does" feeling that is there going in.

[timmae]

...haircut day. I think not. Punk rock music playing in the background added to the ambience. Nice... very nice!
