This post is more of a vent about hair cuts than hair sprays (but I bet it got your attention ;-)). I&#8217;m sure some don&#8217;t like whiners and complainers &#8211; I don&#8217;t either &#8211; but that&#8217;s why I have a blog &#8211; so I can vent here and you don&#8217;t have to listen to it later ;-).<\/p>\n<p>I love my <span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"http:\/\/www.elmstreetbarbershop.com\/\">barber<\/span>. Jerry at Elm Street Barber does a great job, he knows me by name, it&#8217;s always a good experience (unless I try to tell him I want something different and then we run into problems &#8211; usually my fault). He gives me a great HOT shave with a straight edge blade. He makes sure I&#8217;m clean when I walk out and gives me a spray of aftershave before I get up.<\/p>\n<p>Jerry always asks about my wife, my job, my dog. We talk a little politics, we talk a little pop-culture. I always feel good when I leave my barber. <\/p>\n<p>I loved when I lived in downtown Waxahachie and I could walk a block to get to my barber. I didn&#8217;t even mind driving 5 minutes to get to my <span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"http:\/\/www.elmstreetbarbershop.com\/\">favorite barber<\/span> when we lived on the north side of town.<\/p>\n<p>But now&#8230; we live in Red Oak. That&#8217;s a good 15 minutes away from my <span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"http:\/\/www.elmstreetbarbershop.com\/\">favorite barber<\/span>. So the last two times I&#8217;ve needed a few hairs cut I&#8217;ve tried places closer to home. Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve learned and things I don&#8217;t want when getting my hair cut:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A short fade doesn&#8217;t mean the same thing from barber to barber\/hair stylist<\/li>\n<li>A little off the top doesn&#8217;t mean the same thing from barber to barber\/hair stylist<\/li>\n<li>I don&#8217;t want to have to set an appointment to come back &#8211; and I don&#8217;t want to set an appointment for a haircut tomorrow that I need to day<\/li>\n<li>I don&#8217;t want my barber to smoke 3 cigarettes before I walk in<\/li>\n<li>I don&#8217;t want to get sick from my visit to the barber &#8211; if you&#8217;re sick &#8211; stay home! I don&#8217;t want to hear your sniffles in my ear<\/li>\n<li>I don&#8217;t want to walk over other people&#8217;s hair when I come in. If you&#8217;re sprawled out in your chair with a blanket over you before I walk in &#8211; you probably have time to sweep the floor<\/li>\n<li>If you&#8217;re going to advertise a HOT SHAVE you should at least use a warm wet towel to prep my neck and the shaving cream should stay warm between the shaving cream canister and my neck<\/li>\n<li>Also, if you&#8217;re going to advertise a HOT SHAVE use a towel rather than a cheap paper towel to clean my neck afterwards and use a straight edge single blade rather than a Bic razar<\/li>\n<li>I don&#8217;t want my barber to clean up my face with their hands either. Spend a few bucks and get a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Neck-Duster-64-Long-Handle\/dp\/B0001KBP7G\/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&#038;s=hpc&#038;qid=1198874713&#038;sr=8-1\">nice duster<\/a> and\/or hook up a hose to an air compressor to clean me off<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I think that&#8217;s about it. Jerry I&#8217;m sorry I&#8217;ve forsaken you. I&#8217;ll be back next month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well&#8230; not quite.
