You can tell which barber the guys in my neighborhood go to. Each barber has one cut. If yours’ looks different. It’s your head that made it that way. When I had my Hair Metal Band “Roof”. I only went to women. A select few at that.
I moved to Klamath Falls, Oregon in 2000 from Seattle and I need a hair cut. I was sporting a flat top in those days and would go to a female stylist up there.
SO I find a local barbershop and I asked the barber if he cut flat tops. He said yes so I sat in the chair. When he was done I was nearly friggin bald and the longest hair at the front of the top was only about 3/8 inch long. He apologized and I said no worries and he explained that he was used to cutting the hair on the Air Force guys an the nearby base. So before the next time I called my old stylist and got the size of combs she used. I went to that guy every 5 weeks at $10/pop!
