Anyone one old enough to remember being told "Get a haircut" as a kid/teen?
reddog:
My dad cut our hair up to about 10 years old. He wasn't very good at it! It was a tradition in our neighborhood that the day after school was out for the summer, our dads would give us a "heinie" haircut. Basically it was a no guard clipper shave. It was the late 50's, so short hair was the norm.
One time, my mom tried to trim our bangs, it was a disaster.

If we only knew then what we know now. I would have stayed with a short military haircut with sandpaper sides instead of fighting with my dad over wanting longer hair. Missed opportunity on my part. After college I started cutting my hair super short. It would have saved everyone a lot of aggravation.

Red dog: How old are you that you brought up the term; “Heinie” haircut. When I was a kid we called that Haircut the same name ——AND ——- One of our neighbors down the street or a family with the last name; “Heinie”! They had two boys and their family just like we did one my age and what about four years older who was my brother’s age. Mrs. Heinie was a real tyrant. She dictated every aspect of life in that household

Mrs. Heinie gave both of the boys their haircuts . They We’re both blonde guys. The one who was in high school was allowed to have a short back and sides with a side part comb-over. With the one who was my age hated getting his haircut and always gave his mother a bad time about it. Sooooo….. She always made short work of it and every Saturday gave that kid a zero buzz cut! With that blond hair that kid looked positively bald! Even for the 1960s that was pretty extreme for a kid to have what looked like a shaved head. The kid absolutely hated it but she kept doing it to him until he got to be a junior in high school.
