Barbers

I miss my barber... went to him for almost 20 years till he retired. His sons took over the shop, but they were more butchers than barbers... every time I left there, I would have to touch up something... either the sideburns were uneven, or the neck was trimmed crooked, etc...

So now I go to the "stylist" my old school uncle turned me on to... At Silvio's "salon" all I have to do is sit down... he does the rest. The only difference is now there are hot chicks sitting in the chair next to me.

Do I miss the personality of a barber shop? Yes... but ill trade off for the salon dripping with good looking women!

Started going to the barber when I was in undergrad--a place just down Franklin St. in Chapel Hill. Ron, Don and Phil. Each gave me a great cut every time. My roommate one day talked me into going to a salon with him--never again will I do that; this lady talked about how long she had been cutting hair and how great she was the whole damn time when I mentioned how I wanted it--she left a full patch of hair on the left uncut! I've been in 2 other towns since, luckily both with several barber shops; I find the one I like the best, and have yet to be truly displeased. Before I had found that first barber shop in Chapel Hill, I had always gotten my hair cut by my cousin's wife at the only salon/stylist in the one street town--so they were everyone's haircutters. Did that for 18 years of my life, now, it's the barber.

My barber is awesome. He keeps telling me how he is trying to get people to become barbers, but no one wants to do it. He said you can make some good money, but no one wants to go to the 10 or 11 month school to become one
