Since August of last year, I`d been getting a short buzz or high and tight, usually the top was between a #1 and #2 and the sides and back faded to the skin. I got really comfortable with that haircut - I had two barbers who gave me great haircuts without asking stupid questions, and I also got pretty good at cutting it myself. Anyway, in January I was cast in a show that required me to grow it out. I got it trimmed a few times, just so I wouldn`t look crazy, but it still got pretty long. I was REALLY looking forward to the beginning of May, when I could cut it again. Finally, that day came. I had told myself I`d wait a few days after the show was over before I got it cut, but wouldn`t you know I was at the shop the very next day. I went to the barber that first gave me the #1 high and tight. He`d been really good during all of my short haircuts, and I`d grown loyal to him. This time, he seemed really distracted, as if he didn`t recognize me. He asked how short I wanted it, and I told him I wanted to go back to the fade. He said `Of course, but what number?` I didn`t want to go to the skin yet, so I told him a #1 on the sides and back. That day I had a lot of wax in the top of my hair, so it did that stand up in front bumper thing. He cut the sides and back with the #1, then sort of tapered that in, then started cutting the top with a clip-on #4 attachment. Then, as though he didn`t notice the bumper, he buzzed it right off the same length. There was a ton of hair on my shoulders (that hadn`t happened in a while!) but it wasn`t a very good haircut. There were several other guys waiting by now and it was near closing time, so I told him it was fine. When I got home, I saw that the taper was really choppy, and the top was so raggedy, it looked like a bad home haircut. I had no idea why this guy did such a bad job all of a sudden. Later that night, I decided to clean it up myself (I love my Osters!). Several hours later, I was back to the #1A high and tight. A little shorter than I`d planned, but I was happy with it.
Anyway, that was two weeks ago. It was just starting to get to the fuzzy point where you have to do something about it. I didn`t really want to go back to that guy (especially since I`d cut it a lot shorter since his haircut). On my way to work, I drove by all the usual prospects. The only other barber I really liked seemed to not be working that day. I continued toward work (I have a long commute, passing several barbershops along the way). When I got near my office, I detoured up this one road that I sort of remembered had a barbershop that I went to once. I accidentally passed it, so I turned into the next parking lot to turn around. Surprise, in that parking lot was a new barbershop (`Rocco`s`) that I didn`t know even existed. I couldn`t quite see in the window, but it looked like an older guy barber doing a regular cut on the older guy in the chair. But the clincher was the sign painted on the window in huge letters `Regular Cuts & Flattops`. Since he was busy, I went to get a coffee. When I came back, there was a different car in front. I was already running late for work, but I was getting quite obsessed with the idea of a haircut that day. I decided to park off to the side of the lot and wait for the guy to come out. I set up a little bet with myself: If another customer came before that guy came out, I`d just leave (I was already about 20 minutes late for work!). Otherwise I`d stay as long as it took for that customer to come out, as I wanted to see what kind of haircuts this guy did. Then, to make myself even more crazy, I decided that if the guy coming out had a hot haircut, I`d have to go in and get one right then. If it was a boring haircut, I`d just go on to work. Of course, the waiting seemed like it went on forever, and I kept thinking I should just leave. Then I saw the door open. This mid-20`s guy came out with the tightest high and tight I`d seen outside of a military base. The sides and back were gleaming in the sunlight, and the top wasn`t more than a #1 1/2. Plus, the guy was unbelievably hot, and he couldn`t wipe the grin off his face. It was obvious he was quite pleased with his haircut.
Obviously, I had to go in. I parked and opened the door, expecting to see Rocco, the guy I`d seen through the window. Instead, an attractive late 20`s woman greeted me and asked me to sit in her chair. Well, I don`t want to sound sexist, but I really like having my hair cut by a man. I did sit though, maybe emboldened by the perfect high and tight that had just left. She started caping me up, and asked how I wanted it cut. I told her I wanted a fade on the sides and back, but wanted to grow the top out. She asked about the top, I told her I wanted to go back to the flat top. She then told me that if I wanted an AMAZING flattop, I should ask for her father. He does the best flattops ever. At that point, I wanted to get up out of her chair, but I was polite. Just then, Rocco and another woman came out of the back room (they were replacing fuses or something). My barber said to him `Dad - you got another one!` I wondered what she meant by that until I realized he REALLY likes to cut flattops, and he prides himself in them. TO BE CONTINUED!
