While ordering a crew cut is easy, since it’s on the menu, what about other kinds?

Can you just go “I’d like a men/women’s haircut” and leave it at that, or do you need something more specific, like saying you want a Charlestone done by a No. 3 to the sides, and a 4 up top?

You can either describe what you want, or show a picture of a haircut that you like.

go somewhere else, sounds like they don’t value their customers. I’ve never had this experience

Or, at least, try someone else. What’s the worst that could happen; they ignore you like these guys? right?

“I dunno. I suck at this. what do you think?”

don’t do that at the cheap joints… but otherwise it usually sets up a good discussion.

protip, if you’re wanting a men’s style… go to a barber. usually less expensive, and usually much better at men’s style. (Also, most barbers don’t care if your a man or woman or non binary. they still won’t charge you extra the same way a stylist will charge some one passing as a woman women’s rates for the same thing. it’s pretty absurd.)

Yup.

But like, a “stylist” for the same cut would be significantly more.

At least, a round here the middle of the road stylists are all 60ish where the barbers are 35-40.

I throw up some confusing explanation with gestures before my barber does the same haircut they did to me for 5+ something years. Idk what would I do if they retire.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
