Fuckin bad haircuts!
#8734895 - 08/06/08 04:51 PM (15 years, 10 months ago) |

I just got my hair cut, I desperately needed one because my hair was starting to look like a big red fro.
I went to this barbershop in the safe, Portuguese part of town. Last time I went there I got a great haircut, and I didn't have to go all the way out to Manhattan to get it cut.
I wanted a good haircut this time because I'm going home to see my parents soon. If I want a nice haircut I'll typically go to a place in Manhattan, but I'm feeling lazy and decided to take my chances locally.
This time some old Brazilian lady cut my hair instead of one of the Portuguese guys. I was weary of her cutting my hair because there was a HUGE language barrier, meaning that she spoke about 20 words in English. I tried my best to describe to her what I wanted using simple words and talking slowly. Didn't work so well. I could tell when she was going to give me a typical guido cut when she started paying so much attention to my neck line and fading/blending the hair on the back of my head. Then she broke out the thinning shears and I knew it was all over.
She thinned my hair so much that it looks like my hair is made out of feathers. You know, how when it gets humid a bunch of single hairs will stick up all over the place. Yeah, thats me right now.
To top it off, she spiked my hair guido style... spikes everywhere possible, I looked like sonic the fuckin hedgehog. AND she fucked up my goatee, it's completely uneven.
I got home and washed out the gel and now I look like I just came back from a tour of Iraq.
Perhaps I should have just been more of a dick and got what I wanted, but I want to be able come back to that place (have a different person cut my hair, obviously). People in that neighborhood are funny about disrespecting their people, so I just kept my mouth shut and sweated bullets hoping it wouldn't look too horrible.
Thanks, old fat Brazilian lady who fucked up my hair, enjoy my 15 bucks!

ive always thought hair made of feathers look would be good...
still, i work at a hair salon, and $15 will not get you any cut
$50 will
so for $15, i would expect terrible har har
sorry, though...im sure it will be fine...looks best after five days, as a rule

I used to go to my mom regular salon (Tony & Guy) to get my haircut, because she paid for it. They always did an excellent job, used only scissors unless they were straightening my neck line or lining up my sideburns. But that was $45 plus tip, that's just ridiculous for a guy's haircut. The place in Manhattan charges $25 and it's always excellent.
Lesson learned, next time I want a good cut, make the trek to Manhattan.

I'm about to cut my own hair tomorrow. I'll basically buzz it because Its really hot around here. I'm thinking about also trimming my armpit hair down to see if that will cut down on sweat production.

It's true. If you got all the dead ends cut off, it will continue growing.

Only problem is, I'm pretty sure the split ends go to the scalp, at least that's what I suspect.. so cutting them all off would require.....

to grow your hair out, you need to cut your hair every once in a while to get rid of split ends.
that way it will grow longer.

i'm so happy i don't worry about my hair any more... i've let it dread up a few years ago and that's it  unfortunately i've got these few hairs up front that won't dread and it looks like i have tentacles sometimes  but that's the price you pay for being free of the need to "look good". i see people stare at my strange hair, sometimes i AM a little embarrassed but most times i just stare back and remember why it's the way it is 
free your hair and the rest will follow

So what happens if you don't cut your hair for like, 8 years. Split ends to the scalp or what? Cause I want the shits to grow, but I don't want to have to shave my head to do it

If you havent trimmed your split ends for 8 years, you probably need to cut alot off.
You dont trim the ends ever? Start doing that, your hair will look better.
EDIT - BTW, Your hair always grows, split ends or not (the follicle doesnt know you have split ends, hair is dead protein). Every body has a different max length hair reaches because it grows in a cycle then new hair pushes it out.

Well... not ever.. just not in a very long time. I guess if I want it to recovery fully I'd have to chop most of it off huh? FUCK. I'm afraid it wont grow back after I cut it

the split ends are probably a vitamin thing... although somehow i'm certain you've looked into that already?
i wasn't suggestion you make dreads, i was generally commenting on the thread (i fail at using the "reaply to" feature)
the last time i was at a barber shop i was 12!!! (although i did shave my head once every few weeks when i was in the army for three years... glad that's over with )

I doubt it's vitamin related. I've had lot of different diets in the past few years.. could be a lack of zinc. Or maybe I have hyperthyroidism. Or maybe it's just split ends

When I had long hair, I swear it was sun and exposure that did it mostly.
Your hair is thin, it may just be naturally weak.

FUCK.
It happened again! I went to a different barbershop. Haircut started off good, he got the sides even. Then he goes to cut the top. Pulls out the electric trimmer and just starts shaving hair off the back part of the top of my head. I'm sitting there thinking fuckfuckfuckfuck.
I guess he thought short on the sides and long enough to be spiked on the top meant a fucking wedge cut. You know, like short in the back gradually getting longer in the front. News flash dipshit: I'm white, not hispanic. I can't rock a hispanic hairstyle.
So I made him fix it as best as he could. Now it really just looks like I have a buzz cut. This is going to look like SHIT growing out.
Fuck ever getting my haircut in this city again. I'll just suck it up and go to NYC.

You gotta be really specific. Instead of "short on the sides and long enough to be spiked on the top", tell him clip it to 3/4 inch on the sides, and cut the top to 1.5 inches (or however long you want it).
You can be vague if you've got a good barber you're familiar with, but at supercuts/greatclips/whatever you gotta tell them exactly what you want.

I think the biggest problem in this area is the language/culture gap. At least the Indian lady who cuts my hair in NYC speaks english fluently and understands American culture (ie: don't give a white guy a black or hispanic style haircut).

cuz I dont know shit about haircuts
i figured surely a female would have a general idea of what looks good on a guy
so i go to the most expensive place i can find, so i can be in the hands of a professional
and this fucking lady kept yelling at me because i didnt know much about haircuts
that sucked ass. I should have just saved my money

Just got a haircut today myself. It was the most awkward and hilarious one yet. Even though I called a "professional salon", when I went in for the appointment it was dead empty except for a Spanish lady eating an apple who looks like she should be with a janitor company instead.
Her English was horrible. She used idiosyncratic slang the entire time, shit like "sorry, Charlie", "no way, Jose", "okie dokie", and a few phrases straight from the ghetto. Her only pronoun was 'we' for some reason.
She said she had been cutting hair for 5 years, so I just swallowed, tried to be as specific as possible, and went with it. She was nervous but ended up doing a great job, exactly as I wanted.
To make a perfect morning perfect, as I was leaving she said "it's good. You look like Justin Bieber."
