Once every 4-6 months at Great Clips. In fact, their last job made me decide to shave it. It looked like a sideways Mohawk when they were through.

8-9 times a year by a "barber" who charged when I finally accepted sly, $30 or $35 a clip--and I'm not looking it up to see

! The last time was buzzing it down to a #2, one week after taking it to a #3--from then on I took it to a #1, then no guard on the "Shave Day!"

This probabley sounds unbelievable, but I have had the same woman cut my hair since my very first hair-cut.
I dind't grow hair on my head until around age 4. Sometime near my 5th birthday I received my first haircut. As you could imagine, I was the only 4 year old that knew who Telly Savalas was!
Since that point I've had the same person cut my hair. All the way to the end when she buzzed me down with the 1 guard. From there, I took care of things on my own.
Definately SLY FOR LIFE!

I went to several different stylists over the years, usually about once a month. When I got down to a #2 buzzcut, I was going every two weeks and then I eventually switched to a regular barber because it was just too cost prohibitive to keep going to the stylist. As the haircuts got shorter, I started going to the barber once a week. I finally came to the realization, once I was down to a 0000 cut, that it would be a lot cheaper and easier to just shave the dome clean.

from 1979 to about 1999 I had the same style; keeping it at least 1 inch to cover the transplants; maybe even 1.5 inches on top. That has certainly changed.

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

You only got a haircut 2-3 times a year?

I used to get it buzzed and then let it grow back. It grows slow, but the stubble seems to sure come back fast.

Mastercuts in the mall about every 6-8 weeks. Then I bought my own clippers and the last 4 years I just buzzed it at home.
Don't miss those days at all....

I went to the same girl for years..... aboout every other month. She was hot as Hell and I would let her do whatever she wanted to my hair....... even got a perm once because she wanted to do it. Never asked her out because she was married but she definetly had her flirt on with me.
This was years ago before real thinning took place on my noggin.

I went to a girl at a locally owned shop for years. I got my hair cut every three weeks. It cost me $15 plus tip. I know I spend a lot on shaving supplies now, but it's still cheaper than haircuts.

I married the "girl" that used to cut my hair, back when I had hair. She retired about 15 years ago, so I started going to others and then barbers. The cuts go shorter and shorter until it was a buss cut for $10. I bought some clippers and did it myself for a couple of years. ....and then I found Sly Bald Guys and the rest is history.
