So, the young barber.....I would avoid him if possible, but occasionally there would be no choice. He would smiled at me with a mean smile and point to the seat. I knew I was in for a very brutal shearing.
Thanks for answering, MdM. What kind of haircut do you have now? How old are you? Would like to hear more about that young barber than peeled you.
Of course I was hauled into the barber shop by my father when I was younger, but when I was in my mid-teens he made me go alone.
Ironically, it was a traditional shop, but the young barber who was the cruelest with going much shorter than desired was letting his own hair grow longer into a more modern style. It was still off the collar in back, but more of a moptop and with big sideburns.
The first time I got him I thought he would go easier on me. But, instead he scalped me and seemed to be laughing secretly inside.
Tell us more, MdM. Who ordered the haircut, describe the barber and how old were you? Similar feeling here.
Know the feeling very well. The worst part was having to act like you weren't hating the haircut. If the barber sense there was any objection -- the clippers would be pressed tighter and driven higher up the back.
How many times did I limp out of the barber shop looking like a shorn geek with whitewalls....and my beautiful feathered back style on the floor!
When I was a teenage boi in the 1970's, I was forced to get a haircut quite a lot like this one. It was HORRIFYING. Some may wonder why I say this, but anyone who knows and remembers the 1970's knows that this kind of haircut was EXTREMELY unpopular and VERY rare for any teenager. My gorgeous long, center-parted, blow-dried, feathered, over the ears, down to the collar, several inches down the back, was clipped from me to my abject terror. It was, of course, and unlike this pic, slicked back with gobs of thick, shiny Brylcreem. It started me on a long road to haircut obsession. Anybody know the feeling?

BuzzLife Rules:
This board is designed to be a destination to discuss male haircuts, from buzzcuts, flattops, bald, and more!
By using this, you accept all liability for your posts and their contents. BuzzLife administration and Boardhost accept no liability whatsoever by posts, ideas, opinions, links to external sources, videos, to name a few among the vast amount of content that could be contained in said posts. Therefore, you post it, whatever it may be, you’re responsible for it. Enough said.
Photos, videos, and other content posted should involve men who appear to be of age. Any link/poster that sends images, videos, etc. of those who appear to be below acceptable age will be removed. This results in an instant ban for life
This is designed for male haircutting, and males should be the subject of the haircut. Females should not be the subject of the haircut in posts, photos, and discussions, however, females are free to join and discuss our common interests.
No sexual posts allowed. No political posts allowed.
In terms of common sense, do not post replies to such videos or photos saying things like “sexy handsome man without hair” or “better ####ing shave it next time” or any other suggestive or inappropriate comments. This only does many things. It makes the user remove the video due to being “creeped out” by said comments, look to see where the user found their video (and can see terms searched, such as headshaving, male haircut, and even links from this board). It only brings out a negative view of our community and makes us more noticeable, rather than keeping it quiet. Keeping it quiet is best, it allows us to continue sharing content without people starting to think “will I get creepy people send me stuff”. To sum it up, don’t be a creep on other people’s videos. Saying you look good such as “nice haircut” is acceptable; saying “you look sexy handsome with that new haircut :-*” is unacceptable. I cannot control what you post on other websites, but please keep your true comments to yourself, or as we often see, “This video has been removed by the user” will pop up. Please use proper judgment to keep the videos posted public for all to see and enjoy.
In addition, please try to do your best to provide reference to what content is being presented. The internet is wide, I understand that. But if you are going to post a YouTube link, write a quick thing next to the link (moptop shorn) or reference where you got an image from (i.e., post a link and the image) so we can see it easier if there is problem. Only goes to help us out more!
Be civil on the board. We’re all grown mature (hopefully) men. Let’s keep it mature and civil on here.
Be smart about what you post! If you use proper judgment, it will generally be fine. Just consider these rules before posting.
Any problems and questions, e-mail me at buzzlifeboard@gmail.com
I tried to make these rules fair and understanding. They are only here to make the best for the continuation of our community. Any comments or problems or suggestions, please message me or post here.
