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? Swing by your local Git 'er Done Barbershop
any time, day or night, where they will provide you a clean-looking,
presentable haircut in 10
minutes
or less. It won't be fancy, it might
not be entirely pain free, and you won't get gel with that. But it'll be
neat and presentable and you won't be late to work.
did you ever see this guy on The History Channel...he could use this.

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

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. |
|

// putting your name on the wait list via the web means that wit times are usually 5 minutes or less.//

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? |
