today, for the first time, i actually said i did want more at the end of the cut wen the barber shows you the mirror and asks if you want more. i said “actually yeah could i get a little more off the top?” and he was like “no, brother, you don’t want that”

“do you want any changes? im not gonna implement them, but do you want them?”

i can’t believe he argued with me about what kind of haircut i want. i think barber chairs should come wth buttons in the arms, if you don’t like the way the cut is going you just slam the button and the barber switches to a 4 on the sides 6 on the top or something

i need to start responding to “what do you want today?” with “does my answer whatsoever influence the haircut i’m walking out of here with?”

I showed the last person who cut my hair a picture of myself from 2 months prior, right after I had a haircut, and she asked how many years earlier the picture had been taken because I now looked "much older."
That's sort of a neutral statement I guess but I'm so used to people telling me I look tired that my brain instinctively goes to "Yeah I look tired and old."
i went to a well-reviewed barbershop in manhattan and clearly got the one haircut that this dude gives that doesn’t involve just turning clippers to 2 and running them all over my head. the haircut i got is at least not the haircut i’d get from a well-reviewed barbershop in brooklyn, so this is, tragically, a net win, but only barely. i’ve been trying different barbershops in this city for 6 years now and have never gotten anything i remotely asked for. what’s up? also why even have the pretense of asking me what i want, just gag me and do your thing. this is an indescribably low-tier twilight zone plot

like it would’ve been sick if i’d shown him the picture and he’d been like “nice pic! but no, i don’t do that. you’re gonna get a ‘tinder dude that orders for you before you’ve shown up to the bar’ and it’s gonna cost $30”

when I first moved to boston like ten years ago I panicked and went to this ROCK N ROLL themed barber shop with like, hair metal album cover wallpaper and tatted up guys and ladies with CRaaaZY hair, and the guy who cut my hair bad spent the whole time talking about how he used to live with the Black Lips but they were always pissing everywhere and got kicked out by their housemates
i’m starting to think that i’m just misinterpreting what barbershops are. like i’m not asking for a fucking hair swan, i’m asking for “the same haircut i have now but the top is an inch shorter” and being explicitly denied. does everyone else just already know that barbershops are always “chef’s choice”
