I NEED A HAIRCUT


The closure of all barber shops has me reminiscing fondly about my haircuts throughout the years. I have had many a great barber, and a few pretty bad ones too. But they are all deeply appreciated now. Here are all of my haircuts that are documented in photos. I have gotten haircuts in at least five countries, four of them represented here, starting from most recent...

This haircut started out at Textures & Tones Salon, but the world's greatest barber Reagan was too busy, so I settled for my second choice - Headway, both at Harrison Plaza Mall.
