I would think that you'd need gel with that since the problem is bed-head, but [+] for a 24hr bb shop. |

// Ever wake up for work or for an important meeting and
realize you're in dire need of a haircut because it's so
mussed up you can't possibly fix it in time? //

No. Ever heard of an electric trimmer? You can pick one up
at Wallyworld for about thirty bucks. They come with little
plastic spacer doohickeys that let you give yourself a
buzzcut in about two minutes. With a bit of practice you
can even do the back without using a hand mirror. Don't
they teach these things in the Air Force anymore? No
wonder you guys are such codependent rear-echelon
pussies, if you can't even give yourselves a haircut. |
|
| |
Well I suppose the shop could offer a quick down-and-
dirty gel & comb job.
|
|
| |
@ Alterother, I HAVE one of those trimmers. This is for folks who
don't have one, and wake up one morning lamenting their lack
of such a basic necessity. |
|
| |
//a buzzcut in about two minutes.// The thing is, if
a buzzcut acceptable, you probably don't have an
important meeting. |
|
| |
Right. And the idea is to have a professional who can do it
quickly AND not leave unsightly tufts that'll pop back up later. A
2 minute self-done buzzcut is (generally) pretty easy to identify. |
|
| |
Whereas my haircut is old enough to be a postgrad, i agree that clippers are the answer in such a situation. |
|
| |
I'm sorry. Not about the deliberate trolling, I stand by that;
I apologize for my ignorance. I guess this if one of those
things to which we heathens cannot relate. |
|
| |
I dunno, given today's man fashions, just grab a razor and take it all off. |
|
| |
Bedhead is a look. Just own it, everybody will assume that's what you were going for, and admire you secretly. |
|
| |
//AND not leave unsightly tufts

|
| |
Those can be annoying, best to wash the hair, then do those bits again. |
|
| |
I noticed and appreciate your correct spelling of 'whisky'. |

Sorry 21 this time I'm against. I find the 24 hr trend
something that causes more poor people to work at
horrible hours at a bad job, and then look like airport
workers with "fluorescent skin" and "put out" eyes,
so that someone else, with a somewhat better job,
but still not a great one, cause they are also awake
late, can get a haircut at crazy hours. |
|
| |
I'm certain there are a lot of unemployed folks and college
students with no free time during the day who would love the
opportunity. |

When I was in welding college I worked the overnight shift
at a 7-11 (where I was rapidly promoted to night manager).
Went to school 5 days a week and worked six nights a
week. I elected summer courses to expedite my education.
After 14 months of this I had to quit my job and move back
in with my parents because my mother had discovered my
alchoholism and budding addiction to sleeping pills. //

//After 14 months of this I had to quit my job and move back in with my parents because my mother had discovered my alchoholism and budding addiction to sleeping pills.// Most college students who get a job working the overnight shift quit after 2 weeks in my experience. I'm one of the rare people who enjoy working at night but I don't see how it's possible to get less than 6 hours of sleep a day for an extended period and not die (there have been studies). |
|
| |
Napoleon, when asked what he feels is the proper amount of
sleep, said 6 for a man, 7 for a woman, 8 for a fool. Margaret
Thatcher is said to have run on 4. I work five 12 hour shifts per
week, and I typically get 5-6 hours of sleep per night. |
|
| |
I am, amongst other things, a periodic insomniac, and can
function indefinitely on 5-6 hours per day taken in 1-2
hour naps; when I say function, I mean 'remain conscious
and perform simple tasks'. Without regular sleep of 7-8
hours I am miserable and prone to lash out. |
|
| |
I run 5 days a week on 5-6 hours of sleep, all in a lump sum at
night. I catch up on my days off, when I sleep, depending on my
luck, from 8-11 hours. My sunny, gregarious disposition seems
completely unaffected during the week. |

greatclips is open until nine and putting your name
on the wait list via the web means that wit times
are usually 5 minutes or less. |
|
| |
Alas, if there were only a similar system for getting some shuteye. |

I don't seem to be able to sleep-in much any more.
I find myself both missing sleep, and resenting its necessity. |

Go to local barber school, explain situation, offer a big tip.
|
|
| |
Any meeting that turns on haircut quality,.... |
|
| |
Barber schools don't have business hours where you're from? |
