Haircuts these days

So, have you got your hair cut recently, in these Covid-19 times?

Did you have to make an appointment first?

Was there a lot of sterilising and stuff going on? Was it all a bit weird?

I haven't got my hair cut for months. Some days I'm happy enough with my hair being long, other times I wish it was shorter.

I was never a huge fan of getting my hair cut, it was mostly a chore, although it can feel good afterwards.

 

I've cut my own before as well, but not for a few years. I generally used a hair clippers rather than attempting using scissors.

Another option is to get a friend or family member to cut it for you. Results can vary obviously.

A problem with "home-made" haircuts is that the hair clippers may be relatively low-quality compared to what a barber has, so the haircut may take longer and be pretty irritating lol.

 

I just made an appointment over the phone to get my hair cut tomorrow, which is something I pretty much never do. I usually just walk by a few barbershops and go into the one with the fewest customers. It also helps if the barber isn't talkative.

So yeah, I'll tell you how that goes tomorrow..

 

Thanks for the tips and the video. Maybe I wasn't clear enough, but I'm going to a barber's tomorrow. Perhaps next time I'll try cutting it myself.

 

Yeah I just meant see how it goes with all the covid-19 rules going on and all that. Plus the fact that I've got several months worth of hair growth to get cut so it'll be a bit of a change.

A long time ago I had proper long hair (as in ponytail length) for a couple of years. One advantage of that was generally not needing hair cuts, and if I did need a trim I could do it myself very easily and quickly. I got bored of it in the end though.

 

dude just grow beautiful long hair like thor.

 

I could do that. I sometimes miss having long hair. However, it can be hard to manage. Plus you get sick of people assuming you're.. (A) a musician or.. (B) on drugs or.. (C) both.

How about you, do you have long hair?

 

I went into Great Clips and got it cut a few weeks ago. They required masks and you might have to wait outside if there’s a line, I walked right in. Everything else was the same

 

I am planning to have long sexy hair.

 

I got my hair cut anyway. I ended up being a couple of minutes late, partly because I'm not used to making appointments at a barber's. Also traffic and another thing I forgot I had to do.

It's quite a big barbershop so there were several people inside. If it was smaller people would have had to wait outside. I sanitised my hands, put on a mask and sat down on a sofa. I had to wait about ten minutes maybe. Perhaps if I had been more punctual I wouldn't have had to wait at all.

Apart from the masks, casual social distancing and the fact that I had made an appointment, it wasn't too different to usual. Also the way I had several months' worth of hair to cut off. The other customers didn't look so hairy.

So yeah, good to have it done.

 

How much do you guys pay your barber everytime ? And how often do you go ?

 

Ten minutes was fine. I was a bit worried they'd ignore the fact that I'd made an appointment and just do things in a first come, first served way, but they didn't.

I'd hate to wait an hour, personally, although this was quite a comfortable barber's to wait in. I usually just walk by a few barber's and go to the quietest one. If they're all busy I just leave it for another time!

 

That haircut was the equivalent of about 13 U. S. dollars.

That was my first haircut in months because of Covid-19, but I usually go about every five or six weeks maybe? Once a month at the most.
