Sorry y’all, I just need to vent a little. I was unhappy with my previous barber and was trying out a new one. It was close by, had good reviews, and the same prices for men and women. Great. But man, my previous barber might not be the most skilled but at least she was quick and knew how to shut the fuck up. This guy took an hour(!) to do my really simple super short cut and talked the entire time. He fixed what I wanted to have fixed fine, but he doesn’t believe in clippers(?) so it’s way longer than I wanted, and I’m just exhausted. Honestly, my entire day has been ruined by the sheer amount of energy that has been sucked out of my soul from having a stranger talk to me for an hour straight for something that could’ve been done in silence in 20 minutes.

    Periodic long-hair guy here. For me it’s when my hair falls in front of my eyes. It’s absolutely maddening, and almost always results in me shaving my head down super short.

    That and when you’re growing it out, there’s that awkward phase where it’s too long to stay in place, but too short to be tied up.

      Honestly, aside from a short period where I was required to have short hair, my hair’s been long. I only remember growing it out once, and it was curly enough it mostly staid out of my way.

      All I can say is if you stick it out once, you never have to get your hair cut again. The feel of those electric trimmers buzzing my neck… that alone should have been enough to diagnose me as autistic when I was a kid.
