What do you do when you get a f***in haircut--and it's f***in awful??

I admit it: I'm a hair sexist. I need a hot girl to cut my hair. I got that at a MasterCuts of all places yesterday. But for about five years, I had two girls cut my hair -- one a Puerto Rican, one blonde, both smoking like they were Philip Morris executives. I have very simple hair needs: Caesar cut, clippered close to the edge on the sides. What, is someone going to fall in love with me because of my hair? Only if the stylists can do a similar job on every other aspect of my life.

In my defense, both hot stylists did a good job on ... I mean, um, ... hmmm ... they did good cut hair me.

 

A little shorter on top and you've got it.

Well, that and a little more attracted to the daughter of my mom's housekeeper, if you know what I mean, and I think you do.

Thanks to everyone for the laughs and the similiar stories. My wife says it's not as bad as I said it was and that her hairdresser can fix it fine. I said that's fine and I'm still wearing my hat all day long. And I did!

I think this is it for me at Supercuts. Damn and I was two cuts away from a free one.

 

I'm also more attracted to the daughter of his mom's housekeeper. Alyssa Milano...rowr.

And fuck being two cuts away from a free one...THIS one should have been free from the way you describe it.

 

As awful as she was, I would have felt like a dick...the last guy in before the store closes for Thanksgiving is trying to get a free haircut. And she probably would have said "But I gave you a 2!"

And even if I got a free one, big deal. I paid for the haircut in puke with the hair on the floor. Nothing I do is fixing the haircut. What's $15 in the grand scheme when she's already murdered my hair? It's not like you're at a restaurant and the food wasn't prepared the way you wanted it. There's no fixing the reverse bowl job/reverse mullet.

 

I'm exceedingly happy there was not a typo in the first half of that slashed item.

 

Uh-oh ... got a wig handy? (hope you don't need it, of course, but just sayin' ... )

 

i sure don't get the price some of you guys pay for risky haircuts today. i understand "whining" about costs of 20 bucks or more. my guy for the last 17 years costs 10 bucks -- and i've got a pretty good head of hair for a 49-year-old. i'm no patrick dempsey, but my hair's hangin' in there.

fellas, you're overpaying for this "styling" bull. find a professional and then go to "hooters" to oogle the chicks.

 

I'd love to find an old-style barber shop in my town, but the only one I tried took a chunk out of my left ear. Back to Great Clips, unfortunately.

 

I've tried to find an old-school barber shop. Last one I did find was a few years ago. The place really had the feel of the one in "Coming to America," with these older guys sitting around bullshitting.

But the cut was AWFUL.

I keep it simple and short these days, so basically I need somebody who will do the same style every time and not screw it up. Last time I switched, I ended up going to the same place where my 3-year-old daughter gets hers cut. It mostly caters to kids, but they have a lot of families where they do everybody's hair.

Laugh all you want. The woman does a good job and she is very easy on the eyes (nice bonus).

 

Reading this thread has reminded me of going to the barber with my dad on Saturday mornings when I was a kid. It seemed really cool, all these guys sitting around shooting the breeze.

I vaguely recall my sister and I getting our haircut at an old-fashioned barber shop when we were kids, but at some point I just started going to Supercuts or whatever chain butcher shop was nearby. Might be time to look into a trip back to the barber shop.

 

Yeah. Better atmosphere. More Consistent. Usually a little less expensive, which isn't the primary reason, but given the other positives, it makes this one stand out all the more.

The one where I go I stick out like a sore thumb. Almost everyone else has short hair, many buzzed. I don't. I don't have the regional accent and all that jazz, but the guys know what I do and talk the scene, usually Atlantic Coast Conference sports and the occasional pro thing.

Like the mechanics I go back to for routine maintenance back home, I wouldn't trade it for much.

 

And that's why its so sexy.

The ponytail/hat/gym thing is inexplicable to me; almost genetic. My wife deliberately avoids the ponytail because of my reaction.
