Hair cuts

[injunjack]

Take the pics wit you to the barbershop....

Well, at least here barbers are still using scissors and comb, and are taught to use those. (My daughter is in scholl to be a hairdresser / barber. They are learning even to give a what we call "american" shave with blade) Ofcourse they use also "buzzers". That I think depends on the cut...

My Granma used manual clipper along scissors and she was barber/hairdresser from the 30's-70's.

It's been a little over a month, and my hair's grown out noticeably again. Next week, I think I'll have the barber cut it even shorter on the back and a little more on the side than the last trip. I'm thinking about taking two inches off the top, too. When I style my hair as a pompadour or slicked back, it looks the best without the length and fullness in the back. I'm not sure if I want a crew cut this summer.

Do we think that's a shaved-in part?^^

I get mine cut every six months, or so, whether in needs it or not.

not sure. it was more the very hard edged fades (or lack of 'fade') that i found interesting.

You mean someone did that ^^ deliberately?

A stripe of body wax and one good "RRRIIIIPPPP!" could produce the same results.

Again, as my barber would say, "Shave-in parts are the source of all the evil in the world."

Went in to clean up my short back & sides. The top length was about perfect, and the sides & back only needed to be cut a bit shorter.

I hate it. The haircutter did not listen to me at all. I told her to not touch the top, and what was the first thing she did?? Cut the top.

I think the key word here is "her". My guess is she was a stylist, not a barber, correct? Hate to sound sexist, but I believe barber shops to be the domain of men. Guys just make better traditional barbers.

wow.. quite impressive.. if I had any hair left I might have tried that!!

I go to a traditional barber as he is about the only one in town who can do a proper fade anymore.

He has long said that he needs to get a billboard to put in front of his shop that says "We fix $30 haircuts." Why people pay 30 smackers for a terrible cut when you can pay a real barber 15 or 20 to get a good one, I can never figure out.

Found this on tumblr. No additional info except it is from a "1920s hairdressing textbook"

That looks a bit unrealistic. But I like his hairtype, it is just like mine!

Very interesting. The styles are highly sculpted, and it looks like they would be difficult to achieve. I wonder if a modern barber could do those cuts correctly?

The Mr. J. Gatsby is most discerning, and won't acquiesce to a peasant's coiffure.

What kind of haircut did J. Edgar Hoover have? How would I tell my barber to replicate it--scissor over comb, clippers, razor? What sort of gel should I use to keep it in place? How short or long on top? Is there a name for it?
