fear - i had a lot of fear and have not been to barber / etc in fifteen years - the last time i went i could see him brushing it to one side etc to my horror.
so then - after shaving it off myself for fifteen years or so - i bump into him and he says hello
and i'm waiting for the "what happened to you hair" thing - but he doesn't say it
He knows the score and doesn't need to say anything! You are a new you! ENJOY the moment; don't fear it!
He probably thought all those years ago that he ran you off due to a bad haircut. Just think of the relief he felt when he realized you had just decided to go Sly instead!!!!
