Coronavirus Haircuts

[AverageJoe]

That's my early morning look. It's a winner isn't it...

 

[weepiper]

Been at myself with the scissors today.



Mr W won't let me near him, despite looking like Doc from Back To The Future.

Please admire my dad's spectacular one year shielding hair, and his wife's efforts to tame it.

He was in line for a wizard role

Will there be any attempts to tame the magnificent eye brows?

Certainly not. He's very proud of them.

Mine is back to the straggling rattail look...but a fetching shade of purple (and blue, pink, grey). Hat and hood wearing set fair for at least another month, so that's OK. My offspring though! Both boys are sporting insane curly mops and mad beards (even though I am a doting mother, I am appalled). The youngest especially looks awfully like some Daesh escapee. He comes home for lunch so is invariably filthy, in tattered, black workwear...it's hard to recognise my tender-hearted lovely lad (he would consent to hold my hand till he was 10 or so, unlike my other 2 who wouldn't even walk on the same pavement by then).

 

[Artaxerxes]

Certainly not. He's very proud of them.

He is like a magnificent owl

It has just dawned on me that later this year is I think the 20th anniversary of the last time I went in to a hairdresser for a haircut.

As someone very wise on here once said - "There are a great many advantages to having a wipe-clean head!"

 

[stavros]

I did mine again yesterday, and I think I'm getting better at it. I live alone and so am not able to independently substantiate this (I may have errantly carved a swastika into the back of my head). Nonetheless I'm getting more confident with it.

 

[existentialist]

For the moment, I'm just trimming the back and sides, with a little thinning out where necessary on top (nice problem for a 57-year-old bloke to have...needing to thin out the hair! Checking my privilege )...

 

[andysays]

I see that hairdressers in Wales can reopen from this Saturday, whereas those in England will be closed for another few weeks until 12th April.

I hope none of you more westerly based English Urbs will be contemplating a trip over the border for a shampoo and trim or a short back and sides this weekend.

 

[planetgeli]

I see that hairdressers in Wales can reopen from this Saturday,

Monday. But yes. My partner is extremely happy about this.

 

[andysays]

I had the backs and sides cut recently with clippers, but the top is now so long it just flops down over the cut bit.



It's almost long enough to gather together and put in the dreaded man-bun, so I'll have to see if I reach that stage before April 12th...

I've seen a lot of teenagers recently with short back and sides, but with a long fringe over their faces, JAMC-style. You could go for that.

Now that you mention it, I used to rock that sort of style BITD, so maybe the time is right for a JAMC revival...

Happy birthday to my beard. I treated it to some Just For Men.

I'd wager that said teenagers have no idea who JAMC are. I'd be interested to know what they'd think if they heard Psychocandy though.

 

[Aladdin]

Gone from 18 inches of long thick curly hair to a pixie cut.
In between was a mullet.
I had so much hair that I could've stuffed a cushion with it.
Proud of myself really. Cut it all off. Myself... and it is waaaaasy easier to manage.
I doubt I will let it grow long ever again.

 

[Clair De Lune]

Certainly not. He's very proud of them.

As he should be! They are amazing

 

[Orang Utan]

Did my dad’s barnet yesterday. It’s very difficult! At least he no longer looks like one of those locked up mad priests in Father Ted.

 

[Cloo]

Son needs a trim, but honestly we'll wait another fortnight now.... we have a barber at the top of our road and the queue's gonna go down the street when they can open. When they reopened last summer they just stuck a load of (distanced) chairs outside - may send son to sit on a chair and yell at us when he's near the front (it's a about 10m from our door)

Daughter booked into pricey salon for 15th, but she needs a proper recut by someone who knows what they're doing.

 

[hash tag]

I booked myself an appointment to get a cut today. My first in 18 months +. How nervous. Reminds of the time I went for colouring or perms
Will I get there or will I chicken out?

Just as importantly, will you post before and after photos?

His eyebrows are great. Mine are making a bid for freedom and I am leaving them be to see how bushy they'll get.

Cousin It!

 

[Elpenor]

Hair is now 6.5 months grown, it was probably about 7.5 months last summer. Started combing it back to keep it out of my eyes

I look a bit like this

 

[Johnny Doe]

Don't know if I'll be going back to the barbers. Would you know this was a self do?

The quiff is slightly Starmery, although you're more to the left than him.
