When I was a kid in the 80's I had a mullet that was spiked on top like Keifer Sutherland in The Lost Boys, and the lady at the salon practically shaved the top of my head bald. Both me and my mother (who is very fashionable and trendy, not to mention the one paying for it) were pissed and I had to wear a hat for like a month. I'm glad it was summer so I didn't have to show up at school like that.

Not really the haircut itself, but when I left the barbers earlier this year the back of my neck was itching really badly. When I got home I found that it had gone bright red and was burning. I didn't know whether i'd picked up an infection from a reused blade or if it was an allergic reaction to the chemicals used to clean them.

When I was living in the UK we had a barbers with two guys working there, one was excellent, the other... not so much. So every time you went in it was a fifty fifty chance of getting a shit haircut. I could've gone somewhere else, but the gambling gene kicked in every time I was about to enter. Why didn't you just wait? I guess I could've just told the shit barber that I wanted my hair cut with the good barber if he got to me first... but I don't know, man. I'd feel kinda shitty doing that to someone. |

I dunno, maybe a guy at work should have been. He got a haircut and I noticed, whomever trimmed his neck hair just buzzed him basically along his spine and that's all. So he had this big, red gnarly bare spot along his neck with hair on either side. I elected not to tell him because his misfortune and Donald Duck-like rage over perceived slights is one of my life's joys.

Once. I was supposed to be in a bachelor auction. My regular barber was starting to give me shitty haircuts, but I had been going to him so long I felt loyal. Anyway, I went on his day off to get my hair cut from his nephew, was who was a much better barber. I go to the barbershop and the uncle is there and insists on cutting my hair. Anyway, I wind up with a haircut that makes me look about 8. My next door neighbor encouraged me to get the nephew to fix the shitty job his uncle did, so I went to the nephew's place to get it fixed and the uncle comes over!!! So I gotta hide. Next, the uncle find a piece of my hair on the ground and he starts getting suspicious. So for a year's free haircuts, the guy who lives down the hall agrees to get the barber a sample of my hair and the uncle caught us. My next door neighbor had to go to the auction in my place. Didn't I see you making out during Schindler's List? |

If your hair is short and you get (REALLY) mad, I think you're an idiot. People make mistakes and it takes like 3 weeks to grow back (if you have short hair)
Now if I was growing my hair for years and someone buzzed it, then yeah you're allowed to be upset.

I never have but my brother has. He went to his favorite shop once and the guy completely scalped him. He was in the bathroom for hours trying to salvage it  . He ended up looking like a cross mix of Alfalfa and Moe of the three stooges...lol. Lord...he was super pissed. |

Oh yeah. When I was 10-12, I used to have my head buzzed. Then one day, my usual barber retires, and I get stuck with this "hip and trendy" barber.
I'm just gonna come out and say it folks. I've never admitted this on here before, but he...he gave me a Tyson Kid haircut. As in ECW debut Tyson Kidd with the little tuft of hair.
Needless to say, I got home, my mum took one look at me and cut the fringe bit off. After that, I didn't get my hair cut for years. Like, I think I was about 16 when I next got my hair cut, and that was because I would be wearing a suit for 6th form.
Now, I've found a decent barber back near my parents' place, so I get my hair done there. Just ask for a side parting, cut short and smart, then let it grow to the usual Jim Morrison-esque resplendence.

I haven't had anyone do my hair since I was a kid. From about 17 to 24 I grew it out and basically maintained it myself -- it basically came right down to my ass and was the most glorious mane you'd ever see, all full and wavy and the most metal thing ever. Then I shaved it all off one day and nowadays I just use a razor to shave everything off when it starts to get long and/or messy. You can't really screw up shaving everything off with a razor.
When I was young, back when others did my hair, I never really cared enough to fuss over my haircut; however, in retrospect I could probably think of a few really bad ones I had, either from proper hair folk or... otherwise, that I'd be pretty pissed off about nowadays.

I don't think I've ever been happy with a haircut. Most, if not all of the people that have done my hair don't know the difference between cut and trim.

I was waiting for a Seinfeld reference. Wasn't expecting a convo about it.
