I tried to get my hair cut this morning, but they said there was at least a two hour wait. I said I'd try another day.

I got my haircut yesterday. When they opened the barber shops here the first weekend was crazy but after that it seemed to calm down quickly- hopefully you didn't have to wait too long.

My barber is hooked up with the “Ring my barber” app. It allots 30 minutes for each appointment and you book online. He prints out his schedule everyday so that he knows if he has time for walk ins.

Yeah, I had to leave my number and they called 15 minutes before they were ready. I still had to wait for 30 minutes or so once I got there, but I wasn't complaining.

My hair has been receding for many years now, so one of these days I'm going to take it right down. I have hats if it's a complete disaster.
I have some things coming up where I have to look presentable, so that was the main reason for going to the barber.

I had a full beard when both my kids were first born. When we would get up for the night feedings, we’d keep the lights off so as not to wake them fully. It seemed that they always wanted to know who was feeding them as while they were being fed, they would reach up to feel our faces....smooth meant mom, furry meant dad. My cousin's husband was the same. Looked Amish.
He shaved it all off when their daughter was ~ four years old and she freaked out. Didn't recognize him and wouldn't come near him for two days. lol

The Wahl clippers are very good, we've used them for years. I used to enjoy going to the barber shop to gab with the old barbers but all is I get is a buzz cut anyway, like 1/8" on the sides and 1/2" on top. One haircut and the clippers pay for themselves

Even before the pandemic, I don't think I went into malls more than 3 times a year. Clearly I'm not the target group for" fast fashion"!

My son bought a Wahl kit at Costco last summer for under $40 and so whenever he comes over to get his cut by his mother, I have her cut mine too!

I've been told I look like an aging rock star. My high school self would have approved.

I don’t have a lot of hair. My wife was able to keep the hair looking good. The beard and particularly the moustache, different story. I tried it myself and it was worse. She was getting better but now in BC almost everything is open so I went back to my regular barber shop. I can eat without chewing on my moustache again. The barber actually complimented my wife’s job on my hair.

They were $19 (approx $15 US). I just didn’t know if I really needed to do so since my son has a set and he only lives 2 blocks away.

For the 2 block walk probably not worth it- unless it is raining when you need them... Although I love our clippers. I always get my hair cut super short so going to a barber/ stylist is really a waste for me, My son is too proud to have his mom cut his hair- darn teenagers!

Today the woman who cuts my hair felt inclined to do a before and after pic - I hope I don't end up on some website for the levity of her friends.
