But the customer before you can be the best inspiration. Like @reddog i always wanted a flattop. Every time i went to my barber I wanted to ask for one but chickened out. Until one time, the barber was finishing up the flattop with the guy before me. He pulled the sheet off him brushed him off and called me to his chair. Within a matter of minutes I was caped up and being asked what I wanted and I finally blurted out….”a flattop”. The other time a customer inspired me…. I really did t know what I wanted and just said “like the guy before me”. It was a zero buzzcut. I was happy!

Haha,bald barbers are a walking talking irony.
Yeah,see the barber or the customer before you with the exact same haircut that you always wanted,is a signal that you need to go for it.

I agree,even if they're not about being full shaved,but the time that were close to or have an extreme haircut is interesting to read.

Last week,I was about to finish the haircut of a man with wavy-curly hair,when he suddenly say "take it all off,same as you" I can't believe that someone with such beautiful hair wanted to look like a cueball,but didn't hesitate and run the bare clippers right in the middle of his head, followed by foam and the straight razor.
During the shave,he had a blank expression on his face, looked numb and didn't changed until I put the aftershave "there you go,bald as the barber",he immediately rub his now bare dome and smiled.
Apparently he wanted to be bald for a long time and I inspired him that day.
Anyone here is also a barber or has inspired other to be bald?

Some of my friends were inspired by me to shave their heads. They go along with a buzzcut though, not cueball, but I think it's still something :D

I found a barbershop that advertised as a "flattop expert". So there were a couple guys in front of me, and the guy right before me got a killer short flattop. So when I got in the chair and the barber asked how I wanted it, I just said " same as the last guy"! Man, I was nervous, but he did a great job, and I kept the flattop for several years.

Every barber have a strong point or technique,love when they're confident enough to merchandise themself as "expert"
Did you see that guy with the extra short flattop again?
