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 thinking about this the other day.
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!

I’ve had my head lasered. While it hasn’t removed every single hair on my head, it’s totally eliminated the shadow and it has made what remaining hair I have so weak/fine that it takes maybe 2-3 min to shave. Totally worth it for me

If you are going to do a mullet, you might as well go big and do it right. That’s awesome.

I trusted her, she was the best stylist. It didn't look bad, I kinda had a mullet thing going on. I always hated the smell from a perm, made me gag!
OK, you have got to find us an old photo of the perm/mullet hair!

@reddog Ugh perms. I had a teacher with poker straight hair and his wife talked him into a perm. What a mistake!

@fsolomon75 , looks like a typical case of razor burn. When I started shaving, I used to get that above my ears. Eventually my scalp got used to it, and the problem went away. Two things you could try. Make sure you shave with the grain there for awhile, or use an electric shaver there.

When I hit the 1980's, I started going a little shorter, and I liked it. Then I married a hairstylist, and she hated short hair. I went though several hairstyles, including perms! I was the guinea pig for everything new my wife was trying out. I did convince her to let me get a long flattop once, and she hated it.
It was great to get to the point where I didn't care what anyone else wanted, and I discovered how awesome it was to sport a shaved head.
