    Umm, ok I sat here for about 2 minutes while eating lunch and I can't remember the last time I had someone cut my hair. I am sure that it has been at least 8 years since I had someone else cut it (well, someone who I paid to cut it). I have a razor and I just buzz it every now and then (it is getting long now, but no way am I cutting it while the weather is cold). And by long I mean it is about an inch above my collar. I can't stand waiting around forever to pay some guy $12 to cut my hair, and then spend 1
    • Man.. I get my hair cut ever 3 to 4 weeks at the salon. the same girls been going it for a few years now. With tip it costs me about $90 for the shampoo, cut, and highlight.

      I never have to wait more than 3 or 4 minutes if I show up on time. It does take 3 or 4 minutes in the morning, but hey it's only a few minutes.
      • Holy crap, you spend over a thousand dollars a year on haircuts??? (Sorry, I can't think of anything else to say because my mind is still boggling :-) ) Ok here we go. I think I spent about $25 over the past 5 years on haircuts (for the razor I use to buzz my head). The last time I bought a razor I did because I was too lazy to track down a new blade for my old dull razor. Dang my brain is busy boggling again..... :-)
        • Easily. That doesn't include when I get a new style and more work is needed. You don't even want to know what it's costs to have clean well groomed nails.

          It's money well spent.
      • Heh. I have this thick curly Asian hair from hell that doesn't tolerate cheap, crappy haircuts. My haircut costs ca USD $80, every 6 weeks or so. I get a precision cut with a razor blade by a "senior stylist," and it takes 45-60 minutes. My hair looks great, money well spent :-)
      • I go every month to my family's personal stylist. She only cuts my family's hair.
      • I've come to the conclusion that you, sir, are either a freak of nature, one of them durn metrosexuals, or both.

        Not that I'm really against any of that, but you're crazy.

        Granted, I'd like to have the same freakin' barber for more than half a year, even if I do only go once every 2-3 months at $10 per visit (my current one is feckin' pregnant, so at least it's only gonna be a temporary absense.)
        • I just know that you feel better when you look your best. Plus a people's first impression of you is based on your looks, how you carry yourself, and other things.

          Plus, the first thing a woman notices about a man are his shoes. :)
          • Heh, I look my best with a $10 barber job, then, frankly, owing to the fact that my first impressions are invariably good. (I have a 100% hire rate from job interviews, for example.)

            As for the second statement, yeah, my fiance liked my combat boots, but that was more of an informal occasion.
    • There is only so much time and money I am willing to spend on my damn hair.

      Couldn't agree more. Which is one of the reasons why mine was last cut in 1989 :-) The only styling it's seen since then has been done with a hairbrush.

      • The downside of long hair is if you're among those people who shampoo it. It takes more shampoo and more time than short hair.

        Apart from the cooling effect, and keeping warm in the winter, I guess being bald would be ideal.

        As for getting a haircut, I usually wont let a male cut my hair.

        Other point against long hair (for guys):

        When us guys originally started to grow long hair, it was (for many of us) a way to show our sympathy with women. It was a sign that to the world you were a feminist.

        Now peo

        • The problem is that many people perceive long hair on a guy as a sign that he is a criminal.

          There may be an element of that, but if I suspect it to be more common in the US than it is here. But even if true, I don't care. I'm not going to change my life to avoid the preconceptions of a bunch of narrow minded idiots. If they think I'm a criminal, it's not my problem. Let them quake in fear at my presence :-)

        • Dude... Chicks dig long hair. Well, my wife does anyways. That's the important part.

          I get compliments from little ol'grannies all the time. Maybe they were originally women's-libs though.
        • When us guys originally started to grow long hair

          Do you mean *originally* as in 4.2 squillion years ago, or forty years ago in America?

          Long hair is the norm for both genders. It's you shorn folk that are the freaks here. Of course, I do shave my face, but I'm under no illusion that beards are an abberation.
      • I get mine cut every three or four years, whether it needs it or not.

        Last time it was brushed or combed was, umm... going on ten years now.
  • Of course, it's all a matter of style. In China, for example, it was common in some eras for men to have long hair. Just not in the way hippies do today :-p

    For example:

  • Like seriously long hair. Halfway down my back long. But that was back when I was cool.

    Then I sold out, joined the system and became The Man.

    On the upside, I's real smart now that I ain't got no hair no more.

  • Short or long, hair grows... longer hair may interfear with effective cooling, but I don't see how something that 'already grew' that long could use more nutrients than if it was cut 2x times a month.... Unless you're eating your hair. then it would make a difference, but It seems like a crackpot theory that long hair uses more nutrients than short hair.
  • I mean REALLY long hair. The last time it was cut was back in 1995. I think it goes down to my waist when I take it out of the hair tie.

    I have to admit though that I'm considering getting it hacked off. For one I think it might be time for a new hairstyle, 10 years with essentialy the same one is more than enough. For two the last time a woman who I wasn't dating wanted to run her fingers through it was about 3 years ago.

    The main reason I grew it out is I was sick of having to get a haircut every few mont

  • Please don't shave my hair! I just washed it! I promise that i'll get it cut on Friday!

    And yes, by their standards, i would qualify as a dirty hippie. What with wearing a two-month old moptop and not having shaved my face in two days...
