Comments on: The Truth About Dudes and Haircuts http://internetzillionaire.com/2006/05/the-truth-about-dudes-and-haircuts/ Funny with a lot of zeros involved.

I am always at odds over whether I should go over the standard tip of $2(for a $14 haircut with a $2 coupon), in hopes of getting a better haircut next time, or just stick with $2 knowing that bad tipping will result in bad haircuts next time.

She only had one rule--no back hair. I got a bi-weekly plucking. (Just some random scragglers.) It’s true, Megan couldn’t have cared a rat’s ass how the hair on my head looked.

Some women are just as haircut inept as you beauty illiterate men. Seriously, must we perpetuate these damaging stereotypes?

If you are only paying $6 - $8 for a haircut, you don't deserve to complain about an occassional bad one. Once you start paying $150 for a cut and color like the ladies out there, then you'll have my sympathy. Still, this post had me cracking up. Keep them coming Dave. I never knew the agnst all you "dudes" went through. Jace, I'm sorry you're bald. OK boys, let’s be real.

Not to mention, reading all the comments from you dudes who are blessed with a full head of hair for the rest of your adulthoods. Hair is no joke when you are wrestling with the prospect of not having it for much longer. 2) My girlfriend/boss/better half just recently recieved a license to cut hair. There is a more professional name for it, but in true jackass fashion, I can't recall the proper title. So, I have, by default and in my opinion only, have become a defacto expert on this subject matter. I recieved my first haircut on Wednesday since the month of December from the newly licensed girlfriend. I feel 10 years younger, and sorry Zillionaire, I had little curlies all over the place. If you'd have seen me, you'd have had nightmares for a week. I looked like a drug addled, aging rock musician. I thought I looked pretty sweet, but I was getting looks from colleagues/students/strangers. All signs that you should consider changing your look. Nonetheless, anytime I get a haircut, my girlfriend and I discuss what it/I should look like. She is the boss afterall, and has full veto powers over most activities in the household. Hair included. Plus, she has to look at me. When I went to recieve my, what I thought was going to be a trim, I wasn't in the mood to have our "discussion," so I explained that she should cut it how she likes it. Afterall, she has to look at me. So, to the point of my tale. I was thumbing through the latest edition of the magazine entitled, "Seattle," (why there is such a thing, I don't know) and I became really alarmed. My girlfriend, the newly licensed professional shouts, "I don't know what I'm doing." Comforting. I can't imagine being a paying customer and hearing such a claim. Well, my haircut was free, and the whole salon got a good laugh out of her comments. At least her interpersonal/relationship building skills are off the charts. I'm sure the dough will be rolling in sooner than later.

If I have time to go during the week, I can use a coupon so it costs me $4. If I have to go on Saturday, then I agonizingly hand over $6. I figure for the price, if it's that bad I can just buzz the whole thing off and start over. But they've been pretty good to me so far... Good stuff.

Bailes: So that is your long drawn out excuse for your bald spot. Not bad! Love the detail. You really have an imagination! Me: I have found the light and now go to a real hair salon to get a cut by a woman who knows what she is doing. Cut out the middle-dude, I say! And now for the comment rundown:

And what you've described is the typical experience I encounter at Great Clips every time. The best part of a cut there is that you always leave with the same amount of hair as when you arrived. It's just cut into smaller pieces and fallen down the back of your shirt and stuck to your face. It's a hideous look, but it's better than paying the extra $2 they want for a shampoo rinsing.

I've been to great clips a number of times, and the last time that I went to one will be the last time. I walked in and there was an old dude standing there, so I thought I might get a decent haircut. I asked him how long he had been cutting hair and he said about 30 years, so I said ok. Then, sure enough and in the words of the Captive Lion, all hell broke loose. He was shaky and trying to move way to fast. His clippers were actually pulling the hair out rather than cutting it, probably because they had not been sharpened for about 30 years. Then, about halfway through the cut and me with a sore scalp, he is cutting the top with the clipper and the attachment falls off and he proceeds to cut a chunk of hair off the top of my head... to the scalp. Now I've got a bald spot right on the top of my head. About five minutes later he asks me if I felt that, and I say "hell yeah I felt that". He promises me that he will "smooth it out" and I'm thinking how the hell is he going to do that. Then about 3 minutes later the attachment falls off again and he almost cuts another bald spot on the top of my head. By the way, he had said that the first time that the attachment fell off was the first time it had happened in his 30 year career as a hair stylist. By this time I'm pissed off and ready to go, and of course, he gives me the haircut for free and is apologizing continuously until I leave. I get home to find out that he has basically given me a reverse short-long, where it is longer in the front and then smoothed out toward the top and the back. He had told me that that was how the basketball players liked their hair cut. Funny, don't think I've ever seen a basketball player with a haircut like that, or anyone with a haircut like that for that matter. Long story short, never going back. Even if it is $8.
