Wise Counsel by Manny Thanks Manny, enjoyed this one.
Wahlpaper, I couldn't agree more! I'd love to hear about the family moving in, settling down and the wife conforming to the local beauty standards.
I love the idea of the '70s office story, too. by f35h on 11 Dec 2025
Stepmother Katie by Jarino A good story and it was well written o yes it brings back many memories when growing up, I use to go to a barbershop as a boy growing up and not a unisex salon, and i was given a proper short back and sides clipper shaved 2+ fingers above my ears and 3+ from my hair line at the back, you felt nothing but skin if you ran your hands up the back of your head, and off course there was some teasing but you yust ignore it, there were some other boys that came to school with the same haircut I had a friend in my class in std 6 and std7 whose dad shaved his head at the end off every holiday he use to have an odd hair here and there showing on his head...for the last 7 or 8 years I cut my hair in a fade at the moment I have a mid skin fade but my favorite one is a razor shave high and tight skin fade shaved really high around the sides and back and on top 1,5 cm now my hair is cut on top to between 2.5cm and 3cm...I always love'd a shorter haircut by Skin fade on 11 Dec 2025
Stepmother Katie by Jarino This is a great story! Your English is very good. My haircut experience was sort of opposite. When I was young, dad took me to the barber’s and I always got short back and sides. At one point, we started going to a barbershop next to the local military base. The short hair that I loved so much was actually cut even shorter although the top was never really short. Not long after we started going there, I changed to a public school and unfortunately the ridicule started. I was teased so much that I was scared of short haircuts (I used to really love them and always regretted not asking for a full buzz cut or even a baldy during summer). My parents didn’t force me to get short haircuts anymore. It wasn’t until college that I started getting short haircuts again (fortunately no teasing). It was then I realised that once I started going short, I would eventually get rid of all of my hair.
Please write more. This is a great story. by Pauldy on 11 Dec 2025
Wise Counsel by Manny Keep up the great writing @Manny. This story could definitely have a sequel where Rob shows off his fashionable buzzed hair, or even better, a smooth shaven head. The family moves south and enjoys a slower pace of life where they essentially turn back the clocks on time.
Please keep the great stories flowing! by Pauldy on 11 Dec 2025
Wise Counsel by Manny Great story as always. Would be great to see him bring his wife south, where the family moves to town and his wife, eager to fit in, undergoes a similar transformation at a local beauty parlor, maybe to a short pixie cut or a perm, sort of like the Ennis family saga that's one of your best. I think using regular haircuts as a transition to a more wholesome lifestyle is a great trope. I keep thinking of an office story set in the 7o's where a longhaired college grad gets a job in a similar small town and has to cut his hair, conservatize his attire for work, and later finds a female co-worker who had to trade her flowing locks for a bouffant and bell-bottoms for dresses and skirts. They both finally embrace the change. No one does this kind of story better than you. by Wahlpaper on 10 Dec 2025
Corte de pelo a cepillo raimundiense 1 by BARBERO MILITAR No sé hasta que punto un chaval, a caballo entre COU y 1º de BUP, es consciente de lo que supone formar parte de una sociedad secreta, con innegables connotaciones sectarias, como lo es HERDISCAB. En el fondo, su natural tendencia a la sumisión le permite disfrutar de algo que para la mayoría de los jóvenes de su edad sería insufrible. Ese caballero de IEPIDE, una ramificación de la secta, detecta perfectamente cual de los chicos es el más proclive a la obediencia total y al sometimiento a la institución. Cualquier signo de rebeldía inhabilita al candidato a formar parte del internado. Seguramente habría muchachos mucho más inteligentes, de los que sacan mejores notas pero a los que los rapados brutales les producían alergia. No hubieran aguantado aquella presión, el sometimiento total, hubieran huido en la primera oportunidad. Nos queda claro que los chavales se llevan muy bien entre ellos porque todos son igual de sumisos y obedientes y han demostrado cierta atracción, en mayor o menor medida, por los cortes de pelo. by PELAYO on 10 Dec 2025
Stepmother Katie by Jarino This story is great! When I was a kid, I knew that every month and a half I had to go to the barber and he would cut my hair so short that I didn't want to leave the house for at least a week. by Anon on 09 Dec 2025
Stepmother Katie by Jarino I liked the story. Get used to the look and cut your hair even shorter next time! by Jajko on 09 Dec 2025
