H's Haircut - too funny not to share

Oh my, I keep asking myself why I didn't say anything...

Usually I tell the lady what H wants for a haircut.  #2 on the sides, longer top, fade the beard in.  It's not that H can't, but he's so used to going in to a military barber and they know high and tight, nothing needs to be said.  He just doesn't know how to speak up for himself.  But I feel like "that wife".

Anyway, so we go into Great Clips... and it's the same lady as last time, so I think we're ok.  I hear "We doing 0 around and 1 on top?" I'm like NOOOOOOOOOOO and he said sure and snip there it goes.  We/I like it long on top because he does have a receding hairline and it just looks better.  Oh there goes that!  Then H is like we might as well shave the beard - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  I kind of got used to it!  

Well, he kept the beard, so now he is a bald man with a huge big Amish beard.  I'm so glad it grows fast... it's getting really hard to keep telling him it looks "good".... 

"well it looks, ok"... 

"I'm not that embarrassed to be seen with you - where's your baseball cap?"

Re: H's Haircut - too funny not to share

  • Ooooh goodness gracious. One time when I went with H for his haircut, I was trying to explain to her what he needed done, and she gave me a look and said "It's his hair, he can tell me what he wants" oh I about b**** slapped her!!!!! It ended up looking rough and he said later that I was right and he should have listened.

  • I can't believe she messed up so much!  I know she probably cuts a lot of people's hair, but still.  If you can't convince your H to wear a hat, there's always going out to dark places...
  • Haha, this has happened to my H before too. I also hate being "that wife" with him at the barber, but if it is somewhere new, I will go there! He once had to bring in a picture of a high and tight fade to a lady he had seen a few times. Though, I don't know why he kept going back to her if she couldn't get it right! He has just now finally found somewhere he really likes, but it has taken 3 years of living in this area to do so.

    I hope his hair grows out quickly or you can convince him to wear that darn hat!

  • That's pretty funny!  I feel like we need a picture!!

    DH always goes by himself to get his hair cut, and it always looks good.  He does go once in a while and has his mom cut his hair.  When she does it, it looks blocky and I'm not a fan of it.  I do like that I get to tease him ruthlessly about having his mommy cut his hair, though. 

  • LOL

    I don't go with DH when he gets his hair cut, he's fine on his own. A few months ago, his regular hair stylist was on maternity leave so he had to have some one else at the place he goes to cut his hair. He was like no problem, and told her exactly what he wanted. Well, this lady got a little too aggressive, and he wound up with almost no hair LOL. I came home from work, took one look at him, and we both cracked up. Thankfully, his regular person is back from maternity leave now!

  • I think that we need a pic of this.  :)

    DH has an amazing barber who he has been going to for years now.  The only thing that I don't like that he does is shaves DH's mustache a little to low but he always put extra powder on DH because he knows that I like it.  :D

    my read shelf:
    Cathy (CathyL7910)'s book recommendations, liked quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (read shelf)
  • H's family friend cuts his hair. DH always gets it cut way too short for my liking. He has big ears so it makes him look a little like a monkey. His hair curls a bit when it's longer (which I love) so if I go with him I just tell her to trim it so he doesn't look homeless (he also sports a beard).

  • H has been going to this one barber shop for a few years now but they recently had a change over and the new ppl have some a terrible job even H has noticed. Luckily the last time he went there one of his old regular barbers was there and knew what they were doing.

    A month before our wedding he went to walmart to get a haircut.  WALMART.  He's like it looks good.  I'm like cool.  I go see him at work that night and it looked like a FREAKING TOUPEE!  She didn't fade the sides tot he top.  I took him back.  I thought he learned then, and we've went a few times together.  

    I'll sneak a picture tomorrow (I don't see him until then) but here's a visual.  Think this:
