Is it good? Yes
Today I did something I haven’t done since about 2019.
I walked into a barber shop and got a haircut. 2019 was the pandemic and I needed a haircut but barbershops were closed so I order wahl clippers on Amazon for 49$ and never looked back. They definitely paid off and I even got decent at cutting my own hair. But it was nice to get pampered. They did the shampoo and hot towel treatment and everything. It was nice, and damn she made it look so simple. Even after about 50? haircuts since 2019 I always had struggles getting an even haircut and especially struggled on the back of my head. Holding a handheld mirror at an angle in one hand to reflect off my bathroom mirror with the clippers in the other hand was never easy. I will say this if you are considering giving yourself a haircut, short and simple is best. It gets complicated when you try to style it. When is cut my hair I’d either do a crew cut or buzz cut. Simpler is better.
I don’t understand why I didn’t start going to barbers after the shutdown ended as I’ve given myself some bad haircuts but still think my worst haircut ever was in the hands of a barber. But that could be because it was free and that I not look at myself as critically as I do others.
Anyway it seems that the days of self hair cuts are out, and I think this is a sign of maturity. It also feels nice to be in a place financially (probably for the first time since 2019) to feel okay not only to get a hair cut but to get a hair wash also.
