4 Haircuts. 1 Day by Mark McKarty

Ever Since 5th grade I wanted a short haircut, but I loved my long hair and so did many people. It wasn't until Senior year, I had too. I was on the varsity soccer team in high school, and for the state championships, coach said we all had to get buzz cuts. At first, I was extremely sad to get rid of my extremely long hair, but then I was relieved that t was an excuse to get many haircuts in one day.

I took $100 from my bank account for a day of fun haircuts. For my first stop I went to super cuts. I told them to give me a clean up. Meaning cut the hair around the ear, and cut about half of my 4 inch bangs. When the hairdresser made diagonal cuts across my bangs, making them above my eyebrows for the first time, I was so excited. Next when she cut around the ear, it was a thrill! I could see my ear! The haircut was done, and it was off to the next!

Next I went to Sports Clips. I asked for a #5 on the sides and back blended with a scissor cut on top. The barber took out clippers, and this was the first time clippers we're ever used on my head. I was amazing feeling the metal clippers go up my head, turning my hair into bristles. When it was time to outline, he asked how long I wanted my sideburns. I though what the hack, and told him he could take all my sideburns off. I loved the look! Time for my 3rd haircut,

I walked into my local barbershop, and asked for a #2 all over. I couldn't wait to see what it would look like. He took the guard up my whole head, and I felt great. It was a life-changing experience.
I left feeling great. Now, it is time for my last haircut. I bought clippers at Target, and gave myself a #1 haircut all around. It looked spectacular! All day I had the greatest excitment getting all my hair chopped off, and I kept it that way with a #2 buzz to this day.

Questions of the story (Please reply, it helps me become a better writer :)

1. Do you like the no sideburn look? // if you chop your own sideburns do you get a rush like me?

2. Which haircut was your favorite to read? (#1,#2.#3.or #4)

3. Do you cut your own hair? If yes, what's your favorite part of it?

Thanks, Mark

1. Yes, I like the no sideburn look

2. #1

3. I cut my own from time to time, and my favorite part is when I don't cut it for a while, and go to shave it all and leave a Mohawk to see how it looks.

1) No, I like long sideburns, except when sides are faded very short or totally shaved.
2)Haircut number 3 because it was short. For number 4, I was expecting a headshave in a fourth barbershop or in the same third barbershop.
3) No. I trim my own beard but I go to a barbershop for haircuts or even for a headshave. I only shaved my own head once but both haircut and headshaves are more enjoyable by a barber than own cuts and shaves. Facial hair shaves are also more enjoyable by barbers when you find real barbers who can do it.

1) No I prefer side burns on men.
2) I liked that u did the entire day in stages.
3I just cut mine it was past my shoulders and I cut a chin length bob. It was very exciting to cut it myself because I kept going shorter and shorter with it I still have plenty of hair and going to cut some more. But this time a friend that has a hair fetish lie me is going to cut the rest of it in stages and scenarios. He is going to crop the back off with scissors then cut it with clippers like a 5 and then cut an ear out and cut me a baby bang. It will spike up in the crown and look so cool.

Here are my answers to your questions, Mark,
1. Yes I like the no sideburn look and I get a rush even when I have it cut off at a barbershop.
2. My favorite was #3 cause I like very short haircuts at the barbershop and not self-cuts
3. No. I go to the barbershop for haircuts and my favorite part of it is growing up my hair for 6-8 months and then feel the clippers on my head and watching the heavy dark chunks of hair falling on the cape and end up with #2 or #1 buzzcut all over.
Enjoy your haircuts, Mark!
