I thought I was the only one who did this.

I have to take two showers whenever I get a haircut.

The first shower is to be nice and clean for the barber.

The second shower is as soon as I get home from the barber, 45 minutes after the first shower, because even though he blows all of the cut hair off of me with an actual hair compressor hose, I still feel horribly uncomfortable and itchy after a haircut.

I also have a "special haircut shirt", and I have had one my entire life. I thought I was the only one who was like this, but the internet has reassured me that I'm not crazy.

I always wonder if my barber thinks that I only own one shirt.

Betting that's not the only thing that makes him feel yucky.

I’m kidding.

I just took a shower. I’m getting a haircut hopefully this morning and I will shower again after I get it.
Man, I need a haircut bad. I have the next two days off work.

But you'll have to promise to return it.

I wish you success with your haircut today. I always get a little anxiety before a haircut, because, you know...you never know how these things are going to turn out.

I know when I need to be there and pick who cuts it. I have two women that I go between. One just showed back up - she cut my hair 20 years ago at a historic barbershop downtown. Every Governor has gotten their haircut there for 50+ years. I wonder what Abbie will do. Neither one appears to be working today. Oh well I need a haircut.

I bought a haircutting kit many years ago to cut my husband’s and 3 sons’ hair. (All those kids’ haircuts really added up and we were living on a teacher’s salary).

When you are the one doing the haircutting, the hair goes down your sleeves and it itches like crazy, so as the designated hair cutter in the house, I have several hair cutting shirts dedicated to wear for hair cutting. I also wear an apron, but I always make sure to wear an old short sleeved t shirt when doing the cutting.

I never knew the names of the styles, and I was terrified of being asked what style I wanted.
I couldn't have cared less, but just the question that I couldn't answer was triggering.
I had a "Short back and sides" for many years.
