Greeting fellow haircut fetishists.
I've know about the community and sites as this for a long time, but the first I've ever engaged like this. Been a lurker for a long time.

I'm a barber of 20+yrs. Mostly parttime now as I am semi-retired. I got into the profession influence by my own haircut interest from a young age. I thought why not do something I enjoy & get paid for it.

My focus is on kink which as you can imaging does not occur often in this profession unless you put yourself out there as a kink barber - there are some and some of which are well known. Anyway, I'm what you'd call a closeted haircut fetishists who is a barber. My kink is the forced/punishment/discipline haircut scene. I guess the reason for that, and my fetish in the first place, is in reaction to being on the receiving end of the forced haircut when I was a young man. My father was very strict and my mom very compliant. Father ran the house. For me that was a constant annoyance - when he was home. He worked away from home for very long periods. Me and my brothers were basically left alone while he was away but when he returned, oh boy! We could never do anything right in his eyes most of the time. When we did do right, he was very supportive, in a good mood, and heap praise up us. If we fell short, he'd let us know. He wasn't physically abusive at all, though we get occassionally get the belt but it could be argued we deserved it. One of the major points of contention in our house was our hair. We all experienced the culture wars of the 70s with the hippy movement. He hated long haired hippies. Neeedless to say, he kept close control over our hair length and style - when he was at home that is. When away for those long periods, our mom would let us have long hair or not - she really didn't care or was too absorbed in her lady/church stuff to care. Anyway, you can imagine what would happen when he did return home to find his boys long haired. It would be a quick trip to the barbershop usually the next Saturday. He wasn't one to make us get crewcuts like an army recruit - no our dad was expecting us to be raised to be professionals. So that meant we'd get a short businessman haircut very tapered up the back and off the ears. That was his big bugaboo - he wanted to make sure we looked like, what today one would call Mad Men style. We hated it. While our friends were sporting typical 1970s hairstyles, we'e often get subjected to looking more like preacher sons - definitely sharply parted on the side, tapered, and plastered with hairtonic, brylcream or whatever the barber used. Certainly not one of those center parted curtain haircuts that were popular then. He would give the order to the barber and that was that. "Take that arch around the ears higher" he'd sometimes say. Hair off the ears was a big concern of his. This is the way we'd look after the visit to the barber, though it would often not stay exactly that way for long. A few days maybe, but we were active kids and keeping manicured greased hair was not on our agenda. He did not really hair so long as we spruced up for church or whatever event we were forced to attend. I can still remember the bottle of wildroot hair tonic and tube of brylcream in the bathroom.

Anyway, this is probably what got me "into" the hair thing.

I do find it interesting that every so often you get that customer you know is "into" the haircut. There are a lot of us out there, though many closeted, in denial, or try hard to not be overt. I've never had someone be completely open about it, but you know. You just know.

Anyway, glad to be here guys. Now, get your butt into the chair. It's time to get that hair cut.
