i'm about to cut my hair and i just realized that i've been cutting my own hair for about a decade now. I've gone to the barber once and was not satisfied with their work.

So who here goes to the barber and is satisfied w/ the service?

btw, my mom is a barber and i NEVER let her cut my hair. She always seems to cut it the way she wants not the way I want.


edit: btw, are your barbers men or women?

I'm satisfied. I got to this little place in Davis. I like how they use a straight blade on your sideburns and back of the neck to really get rid of those hairs. Freaked me out the first time I went there.

I keep changing barber 'cause they keep closing business. Don't really care anymore.
 

I've been going to the same barber for six years (I'm 20 years old, BTW). I wouldn't go anywhere else. I'll probably end up going to my barber's funeral some day. $18 is a steal for the quality of haircut and conversation I get there.

I've been to both a barber and a salon, the two are completely different (in regards to how they teach beauty school and barber school, barbers can shave while stylists cannot). A good barber is hard to find nowadays, but once you find one, its a great thing.

finding a barber that you can trust is almost as hard as choosing where to go for college. Luckily I found one... after about 15 tries with various supercuts and great cliips idiots. It's a vietnamese guy

i paid £30 for my last hair cut (was looking for a new place to cut, because i'm studying abroad atmo, otherwise i go to my regular's everytime) (usually pay around ?20 everytime, so that was a bit steep) but i guess you are right, they do cut it the way they want to.

Been going to SuperCuts for years. $10, they do a good job. The gay guys do better than the females. The straight guys are the worst.

I go to an actual barber shop. 4 older men, one of them has probably been cutting hair since the 1950's. Definitely satisfied, and you can't beat the shave with a straight razor.

EDIT: I can't stand going to those damn "supercuts" places, the whole feel of those places is metrosexuality.

I'm not too hard to please. I have my hair cut nowadays by my GF (she is an Aveda master stylist and generally charges $60 for a haircut), who does a good job. I've never had any real beef with the barbers I've used over the years either. I used to cut my own hair when I was in law school, but it never looked all that great.
