At some point after many bad haircuts, I discovered that if I asked for a "Number 4, all around" I would get a very short cut that wouldn't need attention for a few months. But even with that, they insisted on using talcum powder and astringents on me which I find really annoying. About a year ago... maybe even two years, I just gave up getting hair cuts of any sort. Now I tie my hair back and call it good. It stays out of my way. I stay out of its way. Nobody gets hurt.
