One more tip marcos is find a barber of the same ethnicity as you

I Never Let White People Cut My Hair, is one of my rules of life

Thanks 龜!!!!

I found some p good barbers but the past 6 months I have just been buzzing my head with a #2 every other week or so, so I have few good advices to give

Looking good Carl.

yeah the guy who cuts my hair (feel funny calling him a stylist or a hairdresser as that's what he does, but he's a mate so...) said to try mousse and not hair drying it but I don't think he knows that my hair when left to dry NEVER looks good. struggled with it for years and years until I finally caved and bought a hairdryer. never looked back. I found that a bit of wax worked almost better than mousse too.

yea the efficiency and savings of this can be hard to pass up. i've done everything from a #2 to a #8, i dig the longer buzz cuts more for my head but i love #2 on other people.

yea it's true, or at least i need to find a barber who has curly hair himself or at least really knows how to cut it.

carl your haircut reminds me of

I've had the same barber for almost 10 years and around 2011 we started using 3 formulas (guard #s and hair lengths) that I keep in my notes app. I now have over 3 years of haircut data saved on my phone. It's awesome to have these cuts as pre-sets that I can order up.

gotta find a bald barber

someone tell me where to get my head shaved for like $5 near flatiron or fort greene. i don't want to do it myself, the cleanup is a drag. everywhere i see is like $20 it's madness. also what is the deal with tipping?

and why aren't there signs on the subway platform saying how long until the train comes?

seriously though i want to pay someone < $10 to shave my dome near where i work or live and this should be possible.

my buddy was telling me there's a guy in his city who was offering "$5 macklemores" (out of a bike shop or something mortifyingly appropriate like that).

i told him they should change the name to "thrift chops"

can you not just stand on a towel, say the towel you showered in that morning, and empty it - then shake and wash the towel

Shave it on the subway platform. Or over the bathtub before showering which works for me.

i've been doing it myself for years. i don't want to do that.

thinking about investing in this erm... tunic

does look good on aphex twin tbf

didn't he used to post here

I was at the peak of my smock phase a couple of years ago, you want pockets imo

the thing about shaving yr own head too is u are not gonna be able to get the edges nice

i often go to rando barbers and it usually turn out good, i mean if im somewhere where i have a guy i like then fine, my hair is maybe easy to cut and i get an easy haircut idk

i just try to read the vibes of the barber shop mostly

there was a guy i liked in new hampshire who open carried and had three beautiful husky dogs

You gotta go to someone who knows how to buff your scalp into that oily looking high shine.

um excuse me i have beautiful full head of hair i think u know that

yeah my current shop is v. unpretentious, no bs, diverse clientele. feel like i see more and more attempts to do upscale barber shops, it's gross.

i go to a gross hipster barber shop but my guy is just good, he can cut a freakin head of hair

he and my gf used to work at cb2 and ppl used to come up to him in the store when he was selling furniture like "miles man you gotta go back to cutting hair... not the same without you"

The thing is the idea of going to an unhip old mannish barber is nice and everything but sometimes you get an old man haircut. And I don't mean "stylishly reminiscent of an old man when he was young therefore extra authentic."

sometimes i have them tape actual old man hair to my head

I have an old lady at a great clips

Tho she's getting old, she keeps breaking her shoulder and last time she wasn't paying attention and gave me a soccer mom haircut

Have you guys ever cried about a haircut, haha not me

I have almost never found someone who consistently cut my hair well. I usually just go to the russian barbers near work -- it's hit-or-miss but it never looks too bad after a week. I have odd consistency thinning jewfro hair that not many people cut well.

When I've gone to fancy places I always wuss out on doing anything different and just get a slightly nicer version of the same haircut everyone gives me. My hair usually looks bad overly combed or brushed, so it has to just be kind of left natural and in a good shape.

i used to cut my own hair i used to get expensive haircuts and im just as surprised as anyone to end up a barbershop guy but thats life u know

the salon my wife goes to now has on its staff the best of boston award winner for mens cuts, i'm kind of curious but will prob just stick with my current place.

Sometimes I am curious as to what would happen if I went to some top place and was just like "what would YOU recommend?" BC I have no idea how to ask for a haircut beyond "short" or "short on the sides, a little more on top"

I prefer salons over barbers.

The same woman cut my hair for like 7 years, but then she moved to a new salon in the Trump Tower that was outrageously priced for a men's haircut, so I went there for an additional year, but then she had to raise prices again, so then I stopped. But I do miss the shampoo ladies there, they would do this head massage thing that was awesome. I miss that head massage. Frequently.

Go to Chinatown
