c-towns Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 So I've had this problem and i'm sure I'm not the only one in this boat, but everytime i go to get a hair cut I never know what to tell them when they ask me how i want it cut. The time is upon me and i need a cut, any words of advice? One of the last cuts i got was from a lady that didnt speak english so there wasnt much conversation, i kinda pointed out what i thought she should do and then just stared at the floor. I finally looked up when i thought to myself, man, this is the longest haircut ever, i make eye contact with the hairdresser and she just bursts out into laughter, I'm looking in the mirror going, mmmmmk, a little short ay, oh well, this is fucked i gotta get outta here. Worst haircut ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Try taking in a photograph of someone who has the cut you want, or something similar. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guigsy Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 just tell 'em to stop fuckin around and be professionals, for christ sake. i mean, its their job. someone comes to me about a camera, i dont give 'em bad advice, so why do hairdressers always get away with giving bad haircuts? i've been pullin' my hair out over this...

Booche Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 My wife wont let me go to the barber anymore. I have to pay coin now. Sucks. Whatever happened to my 6 dollar hack jobs? I miss them so much, I am letting it all grow out. In there, is some advice. Take what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalacePrincess Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 - shave your head - take matters into your own hands & provide hours of endless entertainment for yourself and any witnesses (insert picture of that vacccuum hair sucking cutter thing they sell on the tv that i can't remember the name of & therefore cannot take ample advantage of that blessed little invention that is google image search : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Here's what every metrosexual will tell you to do. Get yourself to a real salon, cough up the 30 bucks it will probably cost and walk out of there knowing you got what you wanted. And bring pictures if you can I hadn't been to a barber/hair stylist in years (always had a shaved head) but I went to an Aveda near here and left very happy.

c-towns Posted June 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 maybe I'll just bring this in....ya, I'll have a flat top please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guigsy Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 you could turn this into a fun game, towns... see, take part of BradM's advice... "try taking in a photograph"... remove the "in"... now, before you go for your haircut, you scour the streets of calgary, camera in hand, taking pictures of actual people who actually have the haircut you want... you could even ask them where they got it done, that way, you could go in that specific place and its pretty much a guarantee. wrap 'er up, buddy. its a done fuckin deal. also, if you can get the guys name, maybe he's a regular and you can score a deal with a little non-chalant name-dropping...

c-towns Posted June 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 Isnt there a topless salon somewhere? I could deal with another shitty haircut... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guigsy Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 i've said it before, and i'll say it again: for me, the only redeeming quality in getting a haircut is the boobs in the back of the head. and sometimes the side. its too bad they rarely cut from the front.

SevenSeasJim Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 It's weird but I get very stressed out going to the barber. That's why I rarely go. I'm always worried that I'll get there and i'll have 30 people waiting in front of me (they don't take appointments at Sherwood hairstyles). That's a long wait with only one playboy magazine to skim through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paisley Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 get drunk(+) for 2 - 10 years solid forgetting entirely about that haircut and when the right length is achieved buy some hair ties and tie it back (occasionally chopping off the bottom of your ponytail in either a drunk or sober state, optional)- years supply of hair ties - $2- drunk(+) - you were probably gonna anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bONES Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 you could get your own personal stylist mine doesn't rub her boobs against my head though and she kind of has this rip-cut technique that kind of hurts and gets me a little concerned the bonus is it's free as long as i tip her with beers and joints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaggyBalls Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 if you're going really short, eat some rolls and then go to the barber...say'i want a haircut...then change the haircut to get them to buzz your head with the clippers for a couple of hours and tip the guy $10. i'd suggest bringing a change of underwear. get the shave and hot towels...come out lookin' sharp. i used to have a flat top well you could do that at a salon if you want that and then can hope for the boob-rub. that was my favourite...not like i ever leaned into them but it was always a nice touch. always got the bigger tip and not for any specific reason. such a subtle bribe.

Stapes Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 So I've had this problem and i'm sure I'm not the only one in this boat, but everytime i go to get a hair cut I never know what to tell them when they ask me how i want it cut. The time is upon me and i need a cut, any words of advice? Story of my life. I dread getting my haircut but sadly I think I too am due. Thanks for starting this thread c-towns. What I'll prolly end up doing is going to some relitively chiq place and picking the hairdresser with the coolest hair and just ask her to make my hair look good.
