How Many Times A Year Do You Get A Haircut?
Edited on Fri Mar-18-05 01:48 PM by Magic Rat
I'm just about the head off to get a haircut. I've figured out that I usually go about four times a year - once every three months.

My hair is fairly thick and takes a while to grow in.

Plus, I'm lazy.

So four. Or three if its a slow year.

Five if I want to be wild!

You?

1. Probably three or four.
38 if you count the back and shoulders...

3. I haven't been in about 5 years.
My hair is down to a few inches below my shoulders.

7. Once a year or less.
Depends on how scraggly the ends get. If they're still intact, I put it off as long as possible.

9. I go when I can afford it.
The people who cut hair around here (Southern CA)all think they are catering to millionaires. Last month I took my daughter to have an inch removed from her long hair. I also got a trim and a color touch up at the roots. Total tab : $149.00 - not including tip.

21. Damn!
$7.00 +tip at Paul's Barber Shop. And you get to cuss and discuss politicians and basketball all you want.

The local womenfolks have voluntarily made Paul's a men only establishment. We get to smoke, tell dirty jokes, get a shoeshine, and all that other manly stuff away from our wives.

Salons are for women, children, and girlie men. From 4 on up, guys need a real, old fashioned barber shop. (So my wife told me.)

Did I tell you about that catfish I caught last week?

26. You are lucky.
Out here in CA the local barbershop has gone the way of the Edsel. My 82 year old mostly bald father goes to Fantastic Sams for the $15.00 basic cut. If you have hair, forget it. The salons will scalp you.
(And I'm not talking fancy locations and big rent either. The place that charged me the $149.00 is in a strip mall wedged between a convenience store and a storefront church in a modest neighborhood.)

It grows very quickly, but I just can't be bothered to go more often than every 6 ro 8 weeks.

13. Why do you just cut one hair?
When I do mine, I get all of my hairs cut. Well, the ones on my head, anyway.

17. About every six weeks or so.
I might shave the back of my neck once in between cuts if it gets too shaggy looking.

18. Every 2 weeks whether I need it or not.
I slowed down a bit after I got out of the Air Force. It was every Friday back then.

Found out I'm like Samson, if it's cut my powers decrease.

27. Every 4-5 weeks
If my hair gets long it gets too poofy and showers take longer and I'd actually have to comb it too.

My hair is a pain. It won't stop growing! It's actually because of the thickness. My hair is never long...it just gets poofy.

33. Two or three
I prefer the Tarzan mop. When it's short, too many corporate-type, shallow, gold digger women gravitate towards me.

34. I've honestly no idea
A fair few, but I wait until the hair keeps falling into my eyes and irritating me. I have thick hair, and it grows quickly, but I love to play with it and run my hands through it.

Actually had mine done yesterday, so I'm still in shock at how little shampoo and conditioner I need in the shower.
