Barber pet peeves

[mangudai954]

- Doing things you didnt ask them to do..#$!! you trimming my eyebrows for

- Talking on the phone instead of cutting your hair

- OD grinding the clippers against your head

- Putting their fingers on your lips

- Spraying alcohol without covering your eyes

- Not being thorough in general

 

[usa pride4life]

All of that and...

unsterile clippers/blade.

cutting more off than you wanted.

the "lean in"

Word to this! My old barber would literally rest his junk on my shoulder. I'm talking when I was a little guy, way back in the day. #$@ still bugged methen.

- Putting nuts too close to the arm rest

- Giving ice pick sideburns that have been played out since 2000

- Taking a break right before your turn

i've only been once in the past 5 years or so..


and it was annoying having to guide him through the process.


i'd rather do it myself.

Thinkin they know the length to cut your hair better than you do....hate when boys stop me in the middle and ask if i'm sure i don't want it shorter

 

[seventh letter]

- When they straddle your knee to get the front of your edge up

- Nuts on the elbow

- Putting their hands all over my face, like @!#%$ come on now

I'm actually pretty tall, so they lower the chair to reach my head.

 

[migit1209]

They put their fingers on your lips? *%+ kind of barber do you go to?

 

[trapmuzik617]

Talkin on the phone

Nuts right by my arm

When my barber isn't there at the moment and a different one ask to cut my hair... Like _ i been goin here for 13 years... when have you EVER cut myhair... and y would i just let u do it all of a sudden now

who you telling. back when afros was the *#*@ i had went to go get a shape before going to arkansas. the joint was bomb when i hopped out but wheni got home and washed it. the joint looked like i had slept on the right side of my head for the last 50years

worst part was that i couldnt go the nextmorning and ask dude to fix it because we got on the plane later that night. never again, never again

Same for me; *#% kind of barbers you guys going to that you complain so much about

If they mess it up that much find some1 new. I have no problems with my barber; he knows everything exactly how i want it, including mygoatee... and gets it right.

[mangudai954]

Ay check this out tho..that is a collection of pet peeves amassed over the years with trying different barbers. Not sayin that's what the one I go to does,though I tried a new one today which inspired this.

My barber always overcrowds his schedule.
He says come at 7, then calls back a 6 45 to say come at 7 30-8'*$$, then i get there at 8 and its still 2 people in front of me

I be ready to cry when i walk in and its 7 people in the shop.
Mind you he owns his own shop and hes the only barber in there.


Cant agree with the 2nd one though.
My barber gets GOD-LIKE with clippers when hes high.
I encourage him to smoke before he lines me up, hell ive paid my man in blunt form before.

My cousin is my barber though so anytime he does anything improper i make it well known that that crap wont fly.
