The Tonsorial Shoppe

[koØm]

Tell me about your Barbershop.

Barbering is a very important job, it's a form of waste management; just as important an the Metropolitan Sewer District. There is actually a State Inspector of Barbershops.

The Barbershop is somewhere where fellows go to congregate and talk about sports, politics, race, current events, women and, each other. The same fellow has been cutting my hair for the last 20 years although I had to follow him through three different shops.

I went in to get a haircut and, they were "off the hook" -- more than usual! It was Saturday afternoon and I didn't make an appointment (never had to in 20 years) so, walk-in customers have to wait for scheduled customers to be cleared out. Question: How come every neighborhood mother brings their hyper-active and un-parented pack in to get the boys hair cut on Saturday? I was there for 3 hours for a $10.00 "Senior priced" Haircut; never again on Saturday!

Oh, I forgot to tell you why they were off the hook, they (there are three barbers in the shop) had just scored a "boosted" Keurig Coffee machine for 40 bucks and they were all going crazy using the machine, they went through the whole sample (4 per person) pack of 12 in 2 hours. They were all super animated and hyped from the caffeine in the coffee. Add that to mothers on cellphones, daughters making noise while their brothers were in the chair, comedian-customers, inebriated visitors and ESPN TV playing loudly over the din.

I may have to go to Super-cuts in the mall.

I'm married to my "barber." She'd cut my nuts off if I let anyone else touch my hair. And, yes, she is a trained professional.

don't go to any barber, I don't cut me hair, nor do I shave

Lucky you, the only way I could get a personal barber would be to hit the Lotto.

I cut my own hair.

Self administered Wahl Clipper action.

Not enough left to care about anything fancy.

Wow! You are a hard core guy marrying a "professional nut cutter". My guy is an old "motorhead" and Elvis memorabilia collector. Our town is too small to have a line at the barbershop. So far,the two times I've been there, it was walk in and sit down. My spouse gives him a C+ for quality.

Barbershop in town, one of the 12 there are, 2 girls, waiting time if I pick the right day 5 minutes max, slow growing hair so 2 visits a year will do ;)

I get a haircut once every three months whether I need it or not, I go where it is cheapest and no line. I have no desire to sit in a chair having my hair cut but it starts to get in my eyes when driving which can be a pain.
