My usual barber has cut way back on his hours. He picked up a different job, not that he is a bad barber at all, just getting dinged by competition. Anyway, he only cuts hair on Monday eves. It has been getting hard for me to get into him, so subsequenstly I am looking for a back up. I found a guy a month ago that did a pretty good job. Tried to get into him today, but couldn't. Hit another shop, got right in. Described what I wanted and away we went. The guy had my back to the mirror the whole time, when he turned me back . Pretty short, even for me. Kind of buzzed the sides and back. I told him tapered. The top is okay. It'll grow back, and I may even grow to like it. Pretty military looking cut. My head is kind of tall and narrow, so short sides really highlight that on me.
