Anyone one old enough to remember being told "Get a haircut" as a kid/teen?

It was a major battle between myself and my dad me. Threats of "if you don't go to the barber, I will shave it off myself," etc.
Of course, once I started shaving it, that was never an issue, and it became the opposite, "when are you going to grow some hair" until he realized I couldn't.
I think the fight over hair length went out with the 8-Track player in cars.

Oh yeah!
Is my forelock got anywhere near my eyes I got told to get a haircut or my mother would grab a pair of shears and she would cut it! And that was always a fate worse than death!

The 70's and 80's must have been devastating for traditional barbers! Then in the 80's and 90's guys were all going to salon stylists.
Remember when there were basically only two guys with shaved heads? Yul Brenner and Telly Savalas were way ahead of their time! I wonder why shaved heads didn't catch on back then? Just too radical I guess.

Yes it was definitely radical but I remember even then thinking that those guys were “way cool”! But it wasn’t until the 1990s and the advent of head shaving fundraisers that I had the balls to try it myself.

I was fighting with my parents in 2010s because I never wanted to go to hairdresser so I had an abhorrent mullet for 3 years haha
I bet kids today also fight with their parents because of their hair

60 Minutes did a feature on Yul Brynner shortly before he died. It included some brief footage of him shaving his head with a razor just before going on stage. I remember being simultaneously fascinated and appalled. It was something I could t imagine anyone ever doing but at the same time I did wonder what it would be like to do it. It didn’t occur to me then that I’d ever try it myself.
