Californiaman Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Me and the boys have a haven here in town we like to go to about four to six times a year. That's right. I'm talking about my barber shop. This is the most coolest barber shop I've ever been too. It's located in our Historic Santa Maria Inn and run by four very talented, personable men. Each with their own clientele. It's all about guys. Seldom do women set foot in this hallowed place. And when they do, it's usually a mom taking her boys to what she knows is the best place in town. Often crowded, there's always good conversations and humor to be had. You have book a time well ahead of any events or major holidays, as was the case today. Sometimes while the boys and I are waiting, one of the four barbers will offer me a cold one. This usually happens on a busy Friday when everyone likes to unwind while hanging out. These guys are great and they do exceptional work. I always leave there feeling refreshed and invigorated. My boys and I look downright handsome right now (sorry, no pictures). Just perfect for our trip to grandma and grandpa's house for Easter. Do you have a special barber or are you the "SuperCuts" or "Fantastic Sams" kind of guy?
dem00n Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I go to a salon...the barber shops here dont cut long hair...my hair isnt even near my shoulders to!
MikeRom Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Since my hair has given up on me I have given up on my hair. Don't care where it gets cut as long as it's inexpensive.
surfpup Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I got clippers. They cost me $30. They last for years. What you spend on haircuts, I can spend on beer.
dem00n Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Mabye i can do the kerry king look...headbanging with no hair.
Murph Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I was keeping mine short for a few years, got a bad haircut, and..... Cha Ching. Let it grow again. I haven't had a haircut in well over a year. It's getting pretty damned long, too. I spend the money on beer too, surfpup. Murph.
Jesus Is Dead In My Basement Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I go to a salon...the barber shops here dont cut long hair...my hair isnt even near my shoulders to! Tell me about it brother, My hair is to my shoulders and i have a Beard and Mustache some say i look like Jesus and refuse to touch my hair because they believe it would be blasphemy.
Californiaman Posted April 8, 2009 Author Posted April 8, 2009 some say i look like Jesus and refuse to touch my hair because they believe it would be blasphemy. That's great! I guess if I looked like Jesus, I wouldn't cut it either. There's just something about getting a good haircut and shave. If I let mine grow I end up looking like Crusty the Clown or Larry from the Three Stooges.

retrosurfer1959 Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 I go to the same person every time it's a woman and she does a great job, my hair is really spiky and sticks up so I loved the fact that went into style a few years back and seems to have stayed since i've had hair like that for 30+ years. I'm pushing 50 and still have all my hair so no complaining from me but a bad haircut means something different for me I look like a punk kid that cut their own hair with a weed-eater not really the look I'm after. now the highlights are natural though no Ricky Martin dye job required, thanks to the silver blond highlights. Yep That's right Silver Blonde highlights that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
deepblue Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 My wife cuts my hair. We have a set of salad bowls and I take my choice.
Riffster Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 I just got my shortest haircut ever, it was a misunderstanding. The stylist said: short? and I say yea, well she just went with the clippers and whoa!! I hadn't seen my scalp for years. My wife likes it so I guess it is alright.
djroge1 Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 I've not found a good barber since I left the Air Force 4 years ago. there was this great shop just off base (Ft. Meade, Maryland) that gave good cuts and finished with a straight razor around the ears and back of the neck. I'm still looking.

A lot of men around here go for the high and tight look.
