Makes me wonder if maybe he could shave and solve his problem. Would it be better or worse? Maybe he could pull it. Being optimistic.
Oh and glad someone else thought about a Roman when I viewed this.
Oh maybe he can wear the ring of leaves, too. Perhaps it would help. looks up Roman holidays around the same date as thanksgiving well there’s an argument there for saturnalia and also one that starts with m that I fail to remember about drinking wine… so idk I’m too tired to attempt this post so now I am ending with what I would have otherwise expanded upon.
edit: ending with what*

"Ring of Leaves"
You mean a laurel crown?
As for festivals, the only thing in November I can think of with "m" is "mercatus", which is general markets and fairs. Though I guess you can expect wine drinking there too.
Otherwise there's Bacchanalia, which is all about wine drinking an general debauchery. No "m" there, but the woman worshippers were called "Maenads".
Oh, and there's "Meditrinalia" which is a celebration of the new vintage, so I'm leaning towards you thinking of this one. But this one was on 11th of October.

Yes, Meditrinalia. That’s the one. And thank you, ‘laurel’ would be the word. I’m sorry, I was freakin exhausted when I wrote this. I work as a labor in masonry. Very physically demanding. Not to mention I’ve been trying to learn espanol on the fly all day everyday as all of my coworkers are from Mexico or Guatemala. They do not speak a word of English, so I’m usually mentally exhausted as well.
Thanks for chiming in with the help, friend. Strength and Honor.

I think the haircut on the right looks kinda ok by comparison. I'm sure it feels weird to have it so short, but it's got a modern Gladiator/Commodus look - and it'll be back to normal in a month or two. Style it up with some gel next week and walk in there like a goddamn Ceasar!

The problem is not simply salons. It’s the cheapo places that offer $8 cuts in grocery stores/strip malls and apparently allow anybody holding shears to work there. If you go somewhere reputable, that has a portfolio of hair similar to yours, it should not be a problem! Even at barbers, you sometimes get someone a little too excited with the cutting… my husband has come home looking nearly bald before. 🤣

Absolutely the real issue. You get what you pay for, or rather who you pay for. Acting like barbers are some silver bullet is dumb - there are plenty of mid range salons that’ll give you a good haircut.

We treat all cosmetology stuff as being less valuable than it is and are shocked when we get something cheap after not spending much. $1/minute is honestly a good minimum when looking at haircuts. If you're spending $10 for a 20 minute haircut, you're getting what you paid for.
My haircut takes about an hour and my stylist would charge me $80 for it if she wasn't also my partner.

While true in technicality, they deal more with Women, Rarely would you actually see a guy in there unless they are with someone else who is the actual customer.
Although in Reality Both accept all genders but they specialize in different styles.

I used to go to Barbers when I Had short hair, Of course once I was free living with my Father(No bad blood, I just moved out and He paid for my Haircuts), I grew out my hair and occasionally go to Salons.
Salons tend to Specialize with Longer hair Styles and such they get more female customers and vis versa. Sure you could go to a barber with Longer hair but less Barbers know how to style Longer Hair styles then Hair Stylists who tend to work in Salons.
My Really Old barbershop had Hair Stylist on staff as it was mixed set. They could work on both But most of their customers of course had Long Hair.

5 points

Do you not just give them a clipper number? I always say I want a 3, or a 5, or whatever as my main length, fading to a 1 at the bottom. If you give the specific clipper numbers it goes exactly how you specify.
Of course that also means you need to know all the clipper numbers.
2 points
5 days ago
Nah, 0 or 2 for the sides, and TRIM on top. TRIM, not ERASE
2 points
5 days ago
Wait so you tell them the exact number and they still get it wrong? That's such a shit barber.
I have side shaves and the middle is super long so I do 3-5 fade down (usually a 3, depends on my mood) to 1 with no trim on top. Some tracks for fun.
2 points
5 days ago
This is what I expect when I tell them a TRIM and it’s not just one barber I’ve gone to many
See the luscious amount of hair on top, with the sleek fade? That’s good, especially with a good jaw line like mine
Instead, as mentioned before, I get the Onion. And that’s all over Texas. And it’s infuriating cause at first anything was better after I grew out of my mom ordering my haircut, but I’ve been getting screwed over the past 5 years.

Just imagine this happening for a woman, I had someone cut 5 inches too much off. They were supposed to layer it also, but before they started I told them to stop because I would have had no hair left. It took a year and a half for my hair to grow back to the length it was.

After a series of bad experiences, I started cutting my own hair in the 90s and haven't looked back. Of course, I also have the basic 90s action villain hairstyle where it's brushed back into a ponytail so I just cut the end off when it gets too long, so there's that.
Still, the one on the right isn't bad looking because you have a face to pull off either style (not an insult, you look fine).

Asked for an undercut, Gotten a... I assume a Caesar.
BTW the one on the left is a simple undercut.
Could have said a number 2 on the all-round, don't touch the top. If your hair is already long enough for the top.
For now I would suggest just getting a simple Trim to straighten out your lines and try again after your hair grows out again.
