Trust at the Barbershop

BY KEITH KIRSNER
The relationship between you and your barber is about trust. When getting your haircut, you want to make sure you get out of there looking better than when you came in. If you’re not, something is wrong. Your barber sees hundreds of people a week so unless you’re on a first name basis with your barber, explain every time what needs to get done. You should only be asking him for the ‘usual’ if you’ve been going to the same guy for years and have been satisfied and comfortable with what you’re getting in return. If you like how your hair comes out every time, there is not much else to discuss than local sports and news. Most people who go to the same barber for years will wait however many people are in front of them because they know they'll be taken care of. Now that’s what I call loyalty.

Your hair can dramatically change your appearance. You need to make sure you articulate exactly what you want to him. Do you want a circle or square back? How long do you want your sideburns? What length razor do you want to use when buzzing the sides and back? How many finger lengths do you want cut off on the top? These are all questions you need to think about when going in and explain exactly how you want your hair to look. It’s nobody else’s hair, but yours. Understand what looks best on you. Getting a bad haircut isn’t the end of the world. It will grow back in a couple of weeks, but if you’re not getting what you ask for, get a recommendation from a friend. Hair is one of the most visible thing that can change our appearance, so start on top!
