pre-chrome dome hair appointments...

my sister in law is a hair dresser so I would just always go to her.  But then it got to where I was trimming it short so I just did it at home.  But I would get it cut about every 3 weeks or so

... even got a perm once because she wanted to do it.

OK, I'm going to need to see a photo of that perm!

Hey Antimidas, I also went too Great Clips on Central and 694 area..Can`t remember the name of the mall it was in--But it was run by cute China Babes...I use too tell them too cut it any ole way they like since it was thinning and kinda ratty...Hair was usually shoulder length when i showed up there........always a big tip too 

Ha!  Every time I told them to cut it any way they liked, they would cut it just the same. 

  Yeah ::Thats exactly what happened with me..!! But i knew there was only so much they could do with my thinning hair....I do remember telling them on a few occasions too just buzz it all off in hopes it might be some kind of improvement--and yes they did talk me out of it...
   Probably knew they would lose me as a customer and couldnt go on without my wit and humor every 4 months or so.........And they did talk me into a perm once__Was so glad it grew out and was gone........!

When I was in my early 20s I either had a fade with my hair brushed to the side on the top, or a flattop.  I used to get it done once a month by a barber or a couple guys in my dorm that would cut hair.  The thing I hated about those hairstyles was that they grew out so freaking fast: they'd look great for a couple days and then they looked like they were growing out.  I didn't want to go more than once a month because that just seemed like too much of a hassle.  A 7 mile drive to my barber every week or so?  Scheduling an appointment every week or so?  Sheesh.  No thanks.

Then after college I started buzzing my own hair.  Standard buzzcuts were easy, but fades were hard.  I got the brilliant idea: if I cut my own fade I could keep it looking sharp indefinitely!  That required a halfhour haircut every other day.  Yes, that got old fast.  While buzzcuts are easy I didn't like the length on the back and sides so after two months of cutting a fade I went sly permanently.

My wife was a beautician, so I never set foot in a barber shop for 33 years.  After she got sick, I started going to a barber shop by the house.  They never cut my hair as well as Carol did.  After loosing the bet to my sly neighbor, the sly barber did the initial shave for me.    He was so pleased , he didn't even charge me.  Life is Good!

Every 2-3 weeks...ship's barber (free)...or a base barber (should have went sly then).

About once every 4 weeks at the barber. He's a fun guy and I enjoyed talking with him. But then I moved to another town and at the same time decided I might as well buy clippers and buzz my hair myself. I have to say that between those monthly visits there were too many frustrating days trying to make my head look even half-decent.

I used to go to my barber about 2 times a month to get a #2 or #1 buzz until he actually suggested that I have my head shaved. i haven't really made it beyond a #2 since that time. I am now shaving my head every day now since about a fortnight ago. On the "30-day rule" schedule, now & am 15 days into the process of accepting being bald on a permanent basis.

After I got married, my wife cut my hair. It usually worked out to about once a month. It was a relatively short cut. Now that I'm doing my own daily, it's no trouble at all.

[Timmer]

When I was in the AF, at LEAST every two weeks, sometimes once a week.  $10-$20 a cut.  After, every two weeks, sometimes once a month with a minimum of $20.00 bucks a cut.  Barbers or Super Great Hair Clip Masters.  Even if I change out my blades on my HB once a week, it's still $8.00 a month vs $20-$40.  It was actually a "stylist" messing with my "thin spot" on the crown of my head that convinced me to go back to sly.

[fcb2001]

went to a barber once every six weeks

You name it, I've done it, including the perm thing.    Got my first flattop way back in 1986 and kept it for a few months and let it grow out.  Did the flattop grow out thing I don't know how many times until around 2001 and kept the flattop for the most part.  It wasn't too bad back then, I had a good barber that knew how to cut a good flattop, the chat was good and it wasn't too expensive, going about every two weeks.  In 2005 I did my first head shave, kept it for a few months and returned to the flattop.  Shaved it again in 2006, that only lasted for a week.  In 2009 I let a barber do the deed, reducing my overgrown flattop to SLY, that lasted for 4-5 months and I went back to the flattop.  So here we are today, SLY and loving it.  Will it last?  I hope so....

I'm still doing the weekly trips to the barber (or 10 days).  I can't seem to make the leap to sly!
