Does anyone else wash their hair right after a haircut?

Topic of discussion that came up. Whenever I find I go to a more salonish type of haircutter (as opposed to a flat out barber), they usually offer to put gel or such in your hair.

I always refuse as usually I just take a shower afterward. When you get your hair cut theres always bits and pieces of cut hair that fall out, so I figure its better for them to fall out in the shower; hence no point in gel.
 
If not a complete wash, if I've had it cut short I stick my head under the tap then towel it off. Usually works.
 
Yes.

Furthermore, since I'm going to shower anyway, I tell them not to put the plastic draper over me. It traps heat and I start sweating so then I'm uncomfortable while getting my hair cut. I always have to explain this and reassure the hair stylist every time I get a new one.

Same here.

I go to Regis in the mall, because they've actually been nice every time. A bit expensive, but I only get it cut every few months, so its not too bad. I would just pass, but they charge you for it regardless, so might as well. That and they usually have some good looking women working there, so its a win-win situation. A couple of times it was like getting a scalp massage to boot.
 
I used to always go to my friend's dad's barber shop.. He was an old-school Jamaican who took haircutting seriously. Whenever he cut my hair, he would take out talc and a brush and brush all the loose hairs off. I would usually go home itch and loose hair free..

All other shops I've been to seem to just do a quick 5-minute cut and then either don't or briefly brush the loose hair off.

IMO, old barbers are the best.. They do things the same since the 50's.. when haircutting was a time to sit back, relax, and enjoy yourself for a bit.
