Cat Brules Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Who knows. I’ve waited for my stylist, Monika to get back, anyway. She was injured when dogs attacked her horse, the horse unseated her, and she broke her shoulder. I never wanted my wife to try cutting my hair.

Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I'm a senior with male pattern baldness. Rather than comb-overs or trying to hide the fact, i went to short haircuts, about a # 1 Shortly after The Great Isolation began, I needed a haircut and bought a kit. Now, I run the clippers with the # 1 guide clipped on and just keep running the clippers over my head until I get everything. Looks almost as good as a pro job. The only thing I have trouble with is the back neck hair, but I'm getting the hang of that. FYI: Do you know what the difference is between a good haircut and a poor one? * About a day.

Yul Lose Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Quite a few will never reopen, IMHO, of course. My barber that I’ve been going to for 30 years has a 3 week back log, I’m good til then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I went in to get a haircut a few weeks after my barber reopened. (Under Phase 2 or something like that) I got right in and seated. Nobody else in the shop. I mentioned I'd waited a couple of weeks to let them catch up. He said they haven't been that busy. I ask are people still afraid to come out. Maybe, but many are cutting their own hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kulshan 20262 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 My wife has cut my hair for years, #2 on top and taper the back and sides. I had her try it because the barbers were not able to do the taper any more, they were used to a "block" which is too long in the back. I have a scar on the back of my head, one barber told me if he cut it any shorter the scar would show, I told him if the scar didn't show it was not a haircut yet. So there will not be any shops looking for me to come back. If I was to lose my personal hair cutter I would go to "self inflicted" hair cuts.

Whiskey Hicks Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Been growing my hair out since November. I’ve never grown it out before. Going for a Hickok look since I only live once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 My hair was pretty ratty. The photos I posted before were after showering and combing. I got into my barber the day after she was able to open. I am going back in again Tuesday. She is late 3 months on her rent and the owner of her building wants to evict. I would love to find out who owns her building... she wouldn’t tell me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Evictions at this time are something I don't understand. In fact, I think they're downright stupid. I don't imagine too many landlords have a waiting list for the space in question, or that there are very many too many people anxious to open a new businesses, so why evict and have a site vacant for God knows how long?? IMHO, better to talk things out and arrange payments and recovery of rent over a period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people are cutting their own, some people are out of work or school and not getting it cut at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Shapiro Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I dunno. Since this mess started I've cut my wife's hair. I cut my daughter's hair. And I'd not sleeping on the sofa. Go figure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennessee williams Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Well, my wife told me I'd better go see the other woman. I think she's getting tired of the hawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 My wife has trimmed my hair, particularly around the ears, twice. Never did this before. Our cockapoo's fur grows long and she gets too warm, so my wife cut the dog's fur shorter (not too short). That gave her lots of practice before she worked on me!

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Don't know about you folks, but not only do I get longer by the day, I also get uglier. But then again I never was Adonis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I think the ones who can make it through to re-opening will do fine. Wives and girlfriends have enough to do without being our personal free hairstylists. I won’t go. But then I haven’t been to a barber since 76, so I’m not a factor.

Go West Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 It's getting wild looking, but not thinking about a cut until things calm down. I needed a cut before the shutdown, so it's been a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
