My wife went to hair styling school in the 70's and has been cutting mine for the past 31 years but I suppose that's a thing of the past. Another door will open up somewhere....
 
When I was into short hair. (Up until I was 32) I went mostly to the same barber. A humorous old Vietnam Veteran named Gale. Was a good time to go in and shoot the bs with Gale and his older clientele.

I still go into Gale to get my beard trimmed, (I have to tell the old grunt not to accidentally cut my Jesus hair off) lol cuz I know he would love to.

Gale is 70 and nearing retirement, the only person he could find to fill his chair 2 days a week so he don't need to close shop is a (shall we say in Army terms "suspect") man. How's that for irony... Lol
It seems as though straight white male barbers are going the way of the Buffalo
 
used to go to an old italian barber until he botched it one day and made me look like alfalfa for a few weeks. Ever since, I just go to the nearest chain cutters and tell them the same instructions with clippers. They all pretty much cut it the same.
I too married a former hair dresser (turned copper) but she has never cut my hair. She refuses saying she wasn't trained to cut men's hair...malarkey! She prefers to just bitch about it when I get it cut lol.
 
I cut my own, have been doing it for at least 20 years,
just a 1/4" spacer on the old Remington haircutter:thumbsup:
 
When I married a hair stylist I was all, I get my haircuts for free. Now I'm all, damn these are the most expensive haircuts on earth.
Marrying a hair stylist meant that I get badgered repeatedly about letting my hair grow and getting my unibrow shaved/waxed... neither of which is happening. I tell her I don't have time to mess with hair and need the unibrow to keep sweat from getting in my eyes lol.

Haha, yeah sounds like my house. I told her, imagine she married a guy that always worried about that stuff... and what all comes along with that... and she finally quit it. I'm a little grey and I'm eventually gonna be bald... and I don't give a damn.:eek:

I did that for maybe 10 years before I met my wife... now it's out of my jurisdiction.
 
Old School Italian (by way of England) barber named Tony. straight razor on the neck and underneath chin, and flawless scissor work!
 
My haircut experience sounds very similar to that described by the OP, except it is with my wife.

We "take it out in trade" for payment :)

:rofl: I get the back of my neck shaved in much the same fashion at home. :D

There is a Salon about 5 miles from my home where apparently you get a haircut downstairs, and other services are on a 'menu' upstairs. haven't been there and don't intend to at this point in my life. :eek:
 
While in the service I cut my own, just shaved it off usually or used the #1 clipper to make it about 1/8th of an inch long.
 
The better-half doesn't touch mine, she did it once just before my interview for E-4; I passed but the interviewers said "don't let your wife touch your hair again"!!
 
I cut my own, have for 10 years. I just buzz it off. The first time I cut it 10 years ago I found a melanoma cancer the size of a 50 cent piece. Now I wear a big life guard hat when ever I'm in the sun.
