"Hello"

"Good, and you?"

"Not much."

"Welp, see ya later!"

For me, it was usually some variation of "Do you have kids?" or "When you meet the right woman." that signals the beginning of the end of our nice, casual, non-awkward chit-chat. But now that I cut my own hair, I don't hold back with my barber when he asks me stuff like that.

That’s why I cut my own hair.

Hadn't scrolled far enough down the page and was momentarily stunned.

I prefer a silent haircut, maybe I'll try this.

I kinda hate going to the barbers because the conversation will always spin towards sports or women and I'm not interested in either.

My main problem is that I don't really care about my hair, so when the barber asks me what I want my only answer is "I don't know. The same but shorter?" Which doesn't actually help the poor guy because I'll ignore my need for a haircut for half a year at a time.

Take a pic of your hair when it is short and show em that.

This is literally the exact perfect situation to VANCE-IT with a confident "Just whatever makes sense."

give yourself a buzzcut then tell the barber you want it longer

He sets the appointment in three weeks, when you come in he spins you in the chair once and takes 20 bucks.

There’s a tangible market for gay barbers, you say?

1000%, I'd never trust a straight man with my hair. That being said I usually just end up going to women-owned salons, so that'd be your real completion.

Aren't most hairdressers/barbers gay? I do not trust heterosexual barbers any more than I trust women handling my hair.

Most of mine have been straight or at least temporarily closeted and they’ve been decent.

To be fair there is a really cool LGBT hairdressers not far from me! I go there when I can, but it's hard to get an appointment sometimes.

Annoyingly I really like how the 'regular' barbers do my hair. But there's only so much chat about poker and clubbing in Ibiza that I can handle :'3
