My mom passed shortly after I first started shaving my head, so she never saw me without hair. She most likely would not have liked it. My dad, who passed over 40 years ago would have liked it. In the 70's, when long hair was popular he was always bugging me to get a crewcut.

My mother was shocked and horrified when I first buzzed my hair  and I was already in my early 20s then.
That was years before I shaved bald for the first time and the reaction by then was more subdued but still not approving 
Still gotta live your own life

How did everyone's mother react to their clean-shaven head? My mom was a professional and very talented with both men's and women's cuts, so she had cut my hair all my life. The bald head definitely wasn't her fave at first, but she got over it and thought I looked just fine. She'd even ask me if I was shaving it with a regular razor and shaving cream or an electric razor, if I was moisturizing it and remembering sunscreen, etc.

My mother has been a hair stylist since the 80s.  She would often cut my hair since I was a child. When she saw it for the first time a few years back, she didn't say anything. Deep inside I know she didn't like it. Part of the reason she didn't say anything was because my siblings and I have been more assertive with her criticism lately.

She often tells me or implies that I would look best with at least some hair, but her ideal look for me would be with plenty of slicked-back hair and with a clean-shaven baby face. I do NOT care for that look. I'm not trying to be a model or a pretty boy. I just want to look more mature, but in decent shape.
