Men: Do you get basically the same haircut every time?

I change it up all the time. From one short cut to another. Short crew cut, medium crew cut, short ivy league, medium ivy league, long ivy league, short regular taper cut, regular taper cut, and an occasional flat top crew cut or forward brush. Try an old time barber, for the style you got- all you'd have to do is point to the chart on the wall.

One old time barber I had in high school had that chart on the wall and when I asked for a crew cut like the one on the chart, he took out a scrap book full of old newspaper and magazine photos of different crew cuts, flat tops and ivy league cuts to pinpoint exactly the style I wanted and that would look best on me. When he'd give a customer a flat top from a longer style, he'd put a mirror in the customer's hands as he cut the upper sides to get the rounding/boxing beveling just as the customer envisioned.

Some barbers describe an ivy league as a crew cut just long enough to be parted and combed to the side if so desired. An ivy league can also be worn with the hair brushed up off the forehead to form the short pomp front or with the short bangs brushed down on the forehead like a forward brush cut.

Essential Barbering Knowledge:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Crew_cut#Clipper...

Grooming any of the short pomp styles- crew cut, ivy league, flat top crew cut- is basically the same and takes about a minute or two.

1) Towel dry hair.

2) Barely dip fingertips in jar of wax.

3)Transfer wax to palms.

4) Smooth palms over hair.

5)Brush hair off forehead to form short pomp front.

Whichever style you decide on, be sure to take a photo to help describe the desired haircut to the barber or stylist.

Good Luck!

That was rude of your stylist to act that way. Sorry you had a bad experience.

Adult men DO usually get the same cut over and over again, but younger men (college age) and especially middle and high school boys do change their hairstyle from time to time.

There's nothing odd about it if you've been letting your hair grow out. I would be a little surprised if you wanted a different haircut every time you came in. But, that's assuming you come in every 4-6 weeks, like most men do.

I used to, yep, but about 2 years ago I thought it was time for a change and died it bright blonde like Rutger Hauer's. Properly scary! Since then I've gone clippered, shaved, spiked and back to clippered again. The more I lose the more I think I may as well have some amusement out of it before it's all gone.

Print some stuff off the internet and take it with you if you want a particular look, and if they're weird about it, go someplace else mate.

A lot of this is based upon both old ideas of how men and women are treated differently and the ravages of feminism. Women often do get a free pass in many things: Men/boys are always taught never to strike a woman, and this is often even to the extent of no even defending oneself. Women are sometimes excused for more excessive behaviour, especially when it comes to put-downs and rudeness. On the other hand, men can display drunken behaviour with less censure. Advertising often portays women as being allowed to be indulgent (check almost any ad for chocolate!), but men are usually shown as stingy. Any man who is shown as indulging himself is shown as being selfish and inconsiderate or shallow. I think the idea that men can look after themselves and care about material things is something that Europeans are more comfortable with compared to Americans (and to some extent British and Australians). Asians altogether seem comfortable with acquisitive men. I think a lot of it is cultural.

I just tell them to make it shorter, usually. It's not really in any particular style. I've got pretty long hair and every three months or so it's kind of trimmed. It's not as much getting a haircut as it is maintenance.

Usually, which too long for me. I think it depends on the guy and also his face though. Certain guys can pull off long hair and other people can't.

I do and I always wear a hat but my haircuts always the same

i have long hair myself because i adore it. you should have the way you want too.

I don't get it cut any more
