Haircut

ishoot308 · 04-29-2020, 09:57 AM

OK let's lighten things up here...

Who here is starting to look like Grandpa Munster from not getting their haircut??

I have a good friend who lives in Illinois who looks exactly like the Unabomber right now?? Me,... I'm kind of a combination between Grandpa Munster and Paulie Walnuts from the Soprano's!

Who do you look like??

I've been cutting my own hair—2 on top, 1 on back and sides—but I sure do miss my barber experience!

I'm ready to order the clippers off Amazon - 2/3 on the sides 4/5 on top is what I'm thinking. I get the dumbo wings off the side so more like Munster I guess. I tried to get a bootleg haircut but my wife's hairdresser said no way.

Slickcraft · 04-29-2020, 11:05 AM

My wife cuts my hair so I have no problem. Hers is getting a bit ragged so I offered to cut hers. And to my utter surprise she declined the offer

dippasan · 04-29-2020, 11:12 AM

Wife cuts my hair too though there's not a ton of it up there to work with.
I did grow a Goatee though. Not sure it'll stay. gettin itchy

I’m with you. I ordered my clippers last weekend and are arriving on Monday. Feeling a little shabby.

MeredithMan · 04-29-2020, 11:25 AM

When my son's hair gets long, it grows "out" and gets very bushy. The other night, we were teasing him he looked like Larry from the 3 Stooges, so he put this collage pic together....

I need to establish my credentials: I have hair. I am almost ambidextrous. I did a lot of delicate surgery when I was in practice. I am fearless with scissors. I have had poodles most of my life and did all the grooming. I have excellent scissors.

I decided I was skilled enough to cut my own hair.

I am attaching a photo of my dog and her beautiful styling.

I am not attaching a photo of my new self haircut and never will.

I am in awe of barbers.

'Nuff said

Doobs41378 · 04-29-2020, 02:31 PM

My 10 year old daughter has given me 2 haircuts since this all started and I must say, she isn't terrible at it.

codeman671 · 04-29-2020, 03:41 PM

My wife, although a nurse by career, did an excellent job on mine and the 2 boys. She's much better looking than the guys downtown too!

Mr. V · 04-29-2020, 03:41 PM

Unable to see a barber for my usual "businessman's cut," I am simply parting it in the middle and letting it drape down the sides: sort of like when I was in college, but it was real long then. I sort of like it this way, I may grow it out again.

Please don't make fun of this. I've been using one for 30 years. Love it. Get out of the shower and say Oops, I need a haircut. Pull the Flow-bee out and 10 minutes later it's done.

tis · 04-29-2020, 04:51 PM

Love, the poodle, Newb.!!!

mine won't cut my hair, flat out refuses. i don't know why.. but i'm an every 2 weeks haircut guy. ex-military so i keep it close, high and tight. now... heh.. i've got a bush going like don king! it's awful..

Hillcountry · 04-30-2020, 05:07 PM

I have been, ahem...hereditarily, balding since my 20’s (now 70)
Last 20 years I shaved it all...last year, decided to invest in a Wahl’s professional barber clipper... 1 minute, every 2 weeks and I’m almost bald again.
As for my beard...I’ve been cultivating on my face that which grows wild on my ass for 50 years in some form or another and for over a year, have let the beard blossom...going for Charlton Heston’s “Moses” look!
By next year I may be able to part the broads!

I scheduled appt with Polished and Proper in Laconia. I usually go to Supercuts but when the Guv'na allowed barbers/salons to open Supercuts was not answering phone to get info so I scheduled the appt for fear of waiting too long as everyone would want a cut. Never used them but have heard of them. Its next week.

AC2717 · 05-14-2020, 09:46 AM

just looked at their place online, looks awesome my type of a place. booked online, but not until the 25th (booked out), I am going to call to see if they have any cancellations today

Plus, you can grab some coffee at Wayfarer!
