When I find one, I tend to stick with her (females, for me over the past ~20 years) as long as possible. Loosing her, and having to find another is really, really aggravating.My hair is simple. I don’t style it, I don’t use gel, I don’t even comb or brush it. I just wash it each day, dry it with a towel, run my fingers through it, and go. It’s usually dry by the time I leave home in the morning. So I’m not a complicated cut.Several years ago I had to get a haircut, and my regular barber was booked up for two weeks. So I went to someone new. She butchered my hair. It was horrible. So bad, in fact, that I begged my regular barber to work me in and fix it. I never “cheated” on my barber again.About a year ago, I had to take my young son to a barber to get a haircut. I took him to a place in the mall. The barber did a horrible cut. Thank goodness 4-year-olds don’t care about their hair.My regular barber has moved, so I have to find someone new. I went to a new place. It felt like the woman was using a weedwhacker to cut my hair. She used clippers on parts of my head, and she really dug in, hard. When she combed, it was like she was plowing a field. The end result was the second worst haircut I’ve ever had (only the one above was worse). The experience was painful, and the result was almost embarrassing.Now, the observation: The first barber above (a woman) had very short hair (shorter than I’ve ever had my hair). The second barber (a man) was completely bald. The third barber (a woman) had very short hair (again, shorter than me).All my other (good) barbers have had at least shoulder-length hair. Is there something to this? Or is this just a bad coincidence. Even if it’s just superstitious, I’m not going to any barber with hair shorter than mine ever again.Quasqueton</blockquote>
