after careful deliberation over the past few weeks, i was persuaded by my special someone and then the better nature of myself to venture out to the barbershop. now, i have not paid for a haircut since early 1995, just about 12 years ago. this was initially due to the growth of a long college mane that was obligatory at the time. how i wish i still had such full hair to play with, alas nay.
the mane stuck around until fall of '97 when i used a small electric beard trimmer to shave my head. after this first attempt, someone pulled my mother aside and asked if i had had a brain operation. this would be due to the scuffs of not having a length guard and an unsteady hand, taking the shaved stubble straight down to the skin on a few select spots.
through the years, i upgraded to an electric hair trimmer and have cut my own hair on either the #2 or #4 setting every few months, length depending on the season.
so i set my sights on the beatnik barber in mt. vernon that trimmed up my head in about 10minutes and you get a free cup of italian coffee with the cut, all for $15. i enjoyed sitting in the chair again. although when the cutter asked me the last time i had my hair cut, i bit my tongue to say 12 years, and realized that she was asking more specifically about when was it actually cut--not when did i last see a barber. good times.
