The Haircut Story Site

Not a story, but a survey by Fantasy Weaver

Story Survey

Hello everyone, this is your fellow hair/haircut enthusiast, Fantasy Weaver. I have recently finished my latest four-part story "Of Hesitation and Doubt" (thank you again to those who read it and left feedback, I am humbled) and I would like to continue writing more for this site. I have a few stories that are being worked on, but I am interested in what the regular audience here would like to read.

Obviously (at least, I think?), the stories I write are of the fictional variety, and I don’t write, or ever will write, detailed accounts of personal events. My stories are just that; stories, made up. However I do try to add as much detail as possible to cement some form of realism to the fiction, and try to research about the things I write if I have no experience in them; though I do put personal experience into the plot if I have it (art and hairstyling being two of the most prevalent).

I digress. What I have here is a list of questions in regards to what you like to read, what you would like to read, what you enjoy from the stories, what you would like to see more of, and general questions regarding story elements. For example, if I were to answer question 3.a bellow, I think we can all tell, I like the enemies/friends-to-lovers thing (what can I say, I get myself riled up while writing).

If you would like to answer the questions to help me continue writing for this site, just leave your answers in the comments and I will make note of them. I’m sure this survey will also help other users of this site to write more stories, as the comments are public and anyone can read them. There are examples for most questions, but the more elaborate the answer, the better I can write something which hits close to home for you (all).

Alright, I don’t want to sound long-winded, but maybe it’s already too late. On with the survey!

Comments
1.a: Anything, really. But I'm a sucker for deep dark black hair, or multicolored blonde.
b:What is your favorite hairstyle/haircut? Pompadours, quiffs, undercuts with big big volume and lots of product. Something for pretty boys.
c: Tying both questions together, what is your favorite "change"? Color change, texture change. Going from pedestrian to something of a vain gay stereotype.
2: Contemporary.

3.a: What dynamic/relationship do you enjoy between characters? Experienced stylist/barber and closeted/shy man.
b: What personality traits do you like in characters? I like a switch from confident to submissive, or shy to flamboyant.

4: Where do you prefer seeing the haircut take place? Barbershop, hair salon, "gentlemen's club"

5: What context should lead to the haircut; how did we get here? Always wanted a change, but never had the confidence to ask, Instructions from a dominant lover, instructions from a dominant boss (boss-lover even better)

6: What ending do you prefer? A horny ending filled with gay confidence.

7: What narrator style do you prefer? 1st person or 3rd person omniscient.

8: What is your favorite story on this site, and by whom was it written? The Hair King written by Hair King, I also love Manny's writing (just wish he'd focus on some longer styles).

9: What story did you start reading, but opted out of a little ways in and why did you not continue reading it? What made you reconsider? A lot of Manny's stories have too much vengeance for my liking, but the writing style can sometimes be too good to resist.

10: What themes would like to be explored more of in the stories on this site? Haircuts that help people embrace their queerness.

11: What genre of story do you like/ would like to read? Contemporary narrative fictions, makeovers

12: Alright, this one’s just for fun, but what are your favorite tools of the trade and why do you enjoy them so much? Scissors, blowdryers, flatirons, highlighting foil

1.
A. Straight non-black hair.
B. Two-block, also anything short with bang/fringe (floppy, mop, etc.)
C. My preferred hairstyle buzzed. As long not shaved smooth.

2. Contemporary. As a gen-z, I can't relate to period pieces.

3.
A. Gay crush to lovers or lovers trying something new.
B. Shy and timid, I guess? Honestly as long as the characters are not obnoxious, no preference.

4. Anywhere private. Any room in the characters' house or hotel room.

5. Closeted fetish. Finding out the is into the same kink and trying out. I'm also fond of forcing a lover to the clipper stories.

6. No preference as long as it was built up properly.

7. 3rd person from one character.

8. Gym Haircut by Hairmo is my absolute favorite. I'm also fond of stories by Manny.

9. Anything that involved a female character and barberettes. Just a personal preference, I'm not gonna open the story if the title explicitly said that it involves female as barberette or main love interest, lol. Other than that, long hair (anything from bob and longer) buzzed and/or shaved and shaved smooth stories. Again, just personal preference.

10. Quality gay haircut story. No offense, but the majority of those here are... literary inadequate.

11. Personal account, realistic fiction, and fantasy.

12. C-L-I-P-P-E-R! I love the sound of it, and the satisfaction of seeing clipping from the front and bangs falling...
by deepxmarks on 04 Nov 2020
1.a: Starting length, chin to shoulders, chestnut, ginger, auburn, or white blonde
b:What is your favorite hairstyle/haircut? Chin length bob, plush lush executive cut
c:Long to short Nothing bald or shaved though

2: Any time period as long as the story setting is believable.

3.a: Friends, co-workers, father/son, friends to lovers (same sex)
b: confidence, sensitivity, persuasiveness, cunning, wicked sense of humor

4: Barbershop, home kitchen or bathroom, hotel room

5: gentle coaxing/persuading, mutual agreement, situational, i.e. entering military, job required, partner desired, subtle/gentle manipulation. NO S&M

6: Bitter-sweet, mutual satisfaction, lesson learned, Room for sequals or additional chapters.

7: No strong preference, let the story dictate the style.

8: What is your favorite story on this site, and by whom was it written? No single strong standout story, lots of greats, several strong favorite authors though, Manny being foremost.

9: I generally try reading anyones story. To be honest, I struggled to get through your last two Parts. If the story line leans toward fantasy, or the relationship between the characters gets to perverse or Sadistic, I'm out. Character developement plot development, and descriptive narrative are what hold me. A bit of sexual innuendo and unforeseen plot twists are the best.

10: Fear of haircuts; healing haircuts; strong bonds between a parent and child, are all great themes. So are Haircut buddies.

11: Personal accounts; contemporary; historical fiction

12: Personally, clippers- sight and sound of em, so much variety, balding, peanut, Oster 76, Fast feed Osters etc. Scissors - size matters. Comb and brush. Might sound odd but, hands - the description surrounding touching.

This survey was an outstanding idea. If nothing else it illustrates the wide variety of interests we as authors and readers have.

by P.J. on 04 Nov 2020
1.a: What are your preferred length, color and texture for hair? Collar length; no color preference; any texture, except kinky curly.
b:What is your favorite hairstyle/haircut? Business/Traditional
c: Tying both questions together, what is your favorite "change"? (i.e. long to short; business to military; haircut in stages, etc.) Current look of the character to an artificial look with a toupee.

2: What time period do your prefer? (i.e. 1970s, 1950s, 2000s, etc.) Any time period after 1960. That seems to fit in better with my fetish.

3.a: What dynamic/relationship do you enjoy between characters? (i.e. Father and Son; down-to-business-barber and poor-sod-sitting-in-their-chair; enemies/friends-to-lovers; Barberettes? etc.) Prefer a mentor/protegee relationship.
b: What personality traits do you like in characters? (i.e. Confidence; bossy; subdued; loud; funny, etc.) Somewhat vulnerable.

4: Where do you prefer seeing the haircut take place? (i.e. Barbershop; Kitchen cut kind of deal; Hotel room; Outside/In the yard, etc.) Either a full-on professional barbershop, a throwback 1950s style shop, or a tricked-out lair.

5: What context should lead to the haircut; how did we get here? (i.e. Dad/Mom wants me to get it cut because of reasons x, y, z; Being gently coaxed into it; As punishment for x, y, z; Going into the military, etc.) Not military. Either have it be work related, or a transformation that is forced or by choice.

6: What ending do you prefer? (i.e. Bitter-sweet; Happy ending (yes it can be "that" kind too); Bad ending; Left up to the reader, etc.) Not too fond of the cruel endings, but not too picky.

7: What narrator style do you prefer? (i.e. 1st person perspective; 1st person perspective with character change between scenes; 3rd person perspective from one character; 3rd person perspective from more than one character, etc.) No preference.

8: What is your favorite story on this site, and by whom was it written? MPB at 16. Any of the toupee stories arey favorite.

9: What story did you start reading, but opted out of a little ways in and why did you not continue reading it? What made you reconsider? No answer.

10: What themes would like to be explored more of in the stories on this site? (i.e. Fear of haircuts; healing haircuts; strong bonds between a parent and child, etc.) Transformation hair styles.

11: What genre of story do you like/ would like to read? (i.e. personal accounts; contemporary; sci-fi; historical fiction; fantasy for all I care? Etc.) Any, though sci-fi needs to have a very compelling plausibility factor to it to grab me.

12: Alright, this one’s just for fun, but what are your favorite tools of the trade and why do you enjoy them so much? (Personally, clippers and straight razors are equally as delightful for the sounds they produce -especially the snap of clippers turning on). Hair removal cream, more permanent or magical if sci-fi related, or laser.

by Tom on 02 Nov 2020
1.
a: Straight, dark hair
b: Tight buzzcut, #00000-#2
c: Business or "regular" down to the scalp-hugging buzz

2. Present day

3.
a: Barberette/Client for sure (check the name lol)
b: Dominant, confident barberettes with shy, timid customers

4. Barbershop or modern chain salon

5. Guy is going in for a regular trim, but gets much more than he bargained for

6. Any

7. 1st person 1 character, or 3rd person omniscient

8. Stories by SheShavedMe follow themes I like, and I really like Barbie Girl's three stories

9. I typically avoid male/male haircut stories. They just don't do it for me

10. Coerced, sensual, semi-forced haircuts

11. Typically fiction, but realistic

12. Clippers for sure. The snap of them turning on is daunting, the buzzing sound filling the shop is like an announcement of an impending shearing, and the vibrations over one's head can't be compared to anything else in the world

Should have answered my survey to begin with, but here we are:

1.a, b, c: Straight black hair of any length is my weakness. For hairstyles, a stylish, contemporary fade, a good shaved head, even men’s styles from the 1920’s. Also have a thing for side-shaves on long hair. As for the change, long to short is nice, but honestly if it’s well written I don’t really mind, provided the end result isn’t any variation on a flattop (sue me) or mullet.

2: Contemporary times, or anything before the 1940’s. Can be futuristic too.

3.a, b: Enemies/friends-to-lovers, hurt-comfort is a good one, don’t mind the evil bastard-sorry victim thing either. I like characters that are serious, who know what they want and go for it, or even the shy type who doesn’t understand what’s going on (I can be here for days, but I mean…)

4: Very (HIGHLY) inclined towards barbershops, or in a secluded place where there are no watching eyes, then again in front of others can be nice too, if done well.

5: Anything except military context or "school rules dictate x, y, z for your hair" context. Always pleased when the haircut is either wanted, or where one person leads the other towards that decision. I also bathe in the delectable thing that is TENSION.

6: Any ending is a good ending so long as the buildup for it has been made. Don’t give me a happy ending when nothing would lead to it logically.

7: 3rd person from one or more characters. Always my preference, but 1st person is fine so long as it’s not bland.

8: So Zero is the one who asked for my answers to my own survey, so Zero, you’ll be pleased to know that "People in Mirrors" is my favorite story on this site. It had me biting my lips mate. Would recommend it to anyone. Otherwise, all the authors you mentioned, plus Manny for his great writing and Zero (I’ll be shameless as well) are all good authors and deserve a look at their work.

9: Any story that has no paragraph breaks, bad use of quotation marks, bland description or dialogue, excessive errors (if English is not your first language, that’s perfectly fine and understandable, and I made mistakes just in the questions of this survey, but not to the point where I can’t even read it) and only a passing mention of a cut will not be read by me. No I am not an English teacher, I am just an avid reader and like it when my eyes or head don’t strain when I do so.

10: Every example I gave in the survey would be nice to see. I am actually writing a story with parental bonding, so hopefully that gets put up here soon.

11: Any genre, with a penchant for contemporary, sci-fi and historical fiction, would be nice to see on this site. I get that a lot of people here just want to share their experiences, and that perfectly fine, but it does make me crave for something different.

12: Clippers and straight razors. God those beautiful sounds make me shiver. When I shave someone with a straight razor, it’s always so exhilarating to touch the skin afterwards (I may convey that all too well in my stories…)

I will be taking notes of all the comments!

by Fantasy Weaver on 01 Nov 2020
1a) color y textura : indistinto
Largo : no largo, pero si , bastante crecido.

1b) cortes extremos. Rapados, militares, trasera y laterales al #00

1c) de crecido a muy muy corto.

2) tiempo: indistinto, pero me gustan las peluquerias y barberos pasados de moda.

3) padre tradicionalista o abuelo y niño forzado a raparse.

4) El lugar , sin duda, debe ser una barberia tradicional de caballeros. No salones modernos.

5) Orden de algun mayor (padre, tio, abuelo, o hasta madre obsesiva del pelo corto.

6) Final feliz para el padre pero no para "la victima"

7) como a ti te resulte mas atractivo..

8) aprecio historias de Barbero Militar, corto Sam y jenrique

9) No barberettes. No entre chicos.

10) cortes excitantes con cierto grado de humillacion .Peluqueros dominantes de la situación.

11) pueden ser fantasiosas o reales.

12) No pueden faltar los antiguos sillones de peluquería, ni las clasicas telas blancas como capas, ni las podadoras manuales del #0 #00 y #000. Tampoco la navaja recta afilada en el tipico cuero. Todo esto agrega dramatismo y excitación al corte,

Gracias.

1. My favourite kinds of haircuts as a starting point as sideparts and loose shag and my favourite results are flat tops and smooth shaves

by Anon on 01 Nov 2020
Okay, first off, you're goddamn brilliant for setting this up and as a writer in general. Cheers to that, man! So for me:

1.a: What are your preferred length, color and texture for hair? I don't have a preference in color or texture, but wavy hair does interest me the most.
b:What is your favorite hairstyle/haircut? Not a secret that I adore very short buzz cuts, but outside of that, I love ivy leagues and how long hair looks put up, tied back.
c: Tying both questions together, what is your favorite "change"? Long to very short.

2: What time period do your prefer? I tend to prefer present day or stories where it's kept vague.

3.a: What dynamic/relationship do you enjoy between characters? I'm a sucker for hurt-comfort and contrast-foils, not-what-they-seem are always a pleasure.
b: What personality traits do you like in characters? I think I prefer stories where at least one character has their s**t together or at least tries to. Also, introspective observations, comments, dialogs.

4: Where do you prefer seeing the haircut take place? I think every story calls for one location or the other in some way. So no particular preference. But home haircuts do have a certain charm.

5: What context should lead to the haircut; how did we get here? Boot camp induction cuts are a wonder. LMAO. But same as above, I think each story has its own needs and inner cohesion between context and haircut matters more.

6: What ending do you prefer? Happy endings, but a good bitter-sweet one has all my respect.

7: What narrator style do you prefer? Indifferent, all have their virtues and vices.

8: What is your favorite story on this site, and by whom was it written? I'm going to shamelessly rec here: Fantasy Relived by Chaucer, Restoration by Just_Me, That Smile by P.J., A Heart-Stopping Haircut by Deke Cutter, Shoe by 94Smooth, your own Obsession series is a must!

9: What story did you start reading, but opted out of a little ways in and why did you not continue reading it? What made you reconsider? Not one that I can recall at the moment, but humilliation that involves spitting or peeing or stuff like that, I don't enjoy it, especially if a line it's crossed and this is not adressed in any way or solved.

10: What themes would like to be explored more of in the stories on this site? I think there's a huge potential for all the themes you mention, I would like to see some more classic, healthy coming of age once in a while.

11: What genre of story do you like/ would like to read? I think contemporary, but bring in the apocalyptic and more genre-heavy fiction is anyone has ideas!

12: Alright, this one’s just for fun, but what are your favorite tools of the trade and why do you enjoy them so much? Clippers. You get it.

P.S.: I want to see your answers to your survey as well! This is a great idea!
