Corporate guys...how often do you get your haircut?
I tend to put it off until two days before I look horrible, then it takes a week to get an after-business-hours appointment. Seems to average about every six-eight weeks by the time I'm done procrastinating.

Result: I look really nerdy today and I don't have an appointment until next Thursday. :eyes:

No pictures, please! :scared:

1. Once per month.
Note that doesn't mean every 4 weeks. I will get my hair cut once in March. once in April. once in May, etc...I usually get it cut short, so there's a long time before it starts to drive me nuts.

2. Hmm. I haven't had a real haircut since last September.
I've only had it trimmed up once since.

I'm gettin' pretty shaggy, but that is my custom around this time of year.

3. I'm a corporate girl, and I cut my hair every 6-8 weeks
and for a guy, I would say sooner than that (every month?)...of course, it depends on how fast your hair grows.

7. It's easier on the wardrobe and upkeep budget to be a guy
Edited on Fri Mar-11-05 11:55 AM by Kathy in Cambridge
matching shoes and purses with outfits, manicures, cut and color. It gets expensive.

5. about every three weeks
have a standing saturday appointment to take some of the brown and silver out and replace it with more brown and gold.

It does grow fast though - but if you get it cut too often you'll look like you have republican control freak play-do pumper #9 hair.

6. Not really corporate but every two weeks
Actually when I did have a corporate job it was every two weeks I can let it go for a while now. There is always that ONE day when POOF I suddenly really need a haircut.

I am letting it get bushy because I am going to go to a different lady to cut my hair-I have had the same person cutting it for 2+ years and I have found it is a good idea to have someone else mess with it every once in a while.

8. Every 4 weeks, but my hair grows like weeds
Which comes from the Italian/Sicilian side of my family. I'm just happy I don't have any back hair.

10. Got it cut today
First time this year IIRC. I was getting shaggy, but I don't have to deal with customers except than on the phone. At least, this time my boss did not make jokes about me before cutting - guess he's getting used to it.

11. When it starts to get in my eyes
I like having enough hair to play with, mine grows quickly and is lovely and thick.

I don't let it get messy though.

13. Never. I have not cut my hair in 8 years. And I wear...
...a suit and tie to work every day.

14. Every two weeks, but I buzz it myself with the electric clippers...
I've been keeping my hair short since I've been working out and swimming regularly -- it's just easier all the way around.

But it does grow fast, and needs maintenance at least every two weeks, for that "clean edge" look.

15. Simple solution:
Have Mrs. R place a #8 bowl over your head, and snip away. Voila! A handsome coif, a la Jethro Bodine. And then, post a pic. Please!

16. Every two or three weeks.
I just run the #2 clippers over my head. ZenLeftyGirl gets the back of my neck.
