Let's Get Faded!!

 

 

  Before I begin this week’s rant, I want to say: “I am only talking about haircuts!” lol.  Now on with the show!  I can recall growing up and going to the barbershop on Saturday mornings. Two things were for certain: (1) I was going to be there all day & (2) the shop talk was going to be crazy lol.  If you are not familiar with shop talk, it is our time to discuss any topics.  It is a man’s safe place lol.  Young Trellie would love going to the shop though because I would meet other kids and I could always keep the change after paying for the cut.  Do you remember when cuts were like $9 or $12? Or what about picking a number from the haircut poster?  I always picked a different number but somehow ended up with the same haircut lol.  Let us just say I was consistent 🤣. Now let us fast forward to adulthood and three things still have not change: (1) you will be in the shop all day (unless you set an appointment), (2) shop talk is still crazy lol, & (3) my haircut choice is still consistent (taper fade until I am bald headed lol).  Cost on the other hand, I would love to pay $15 or under for a haircut these days. If your haircut is ever that cheap, expect a pushed back line or terrible fade 🤷 lol.  No lie, paying for a decent haircut, these days is expensive lol.  I can now understand when women complain about paying to get their head done lol.  Even though I am sure theirs is even higher these days lol.  Why is it so hard to find a nice barber outside of your hometown?  It took me years in Houston to find a nice barber that did not require me taking out a loan lol.  Can I just go ahead and say it?  I hate it here lol!!! I really wish I could call my moms and have her pay for my haircuts lol. Or I could have paid attention whenever my pops and brother used to cut my hair smh🤦.  Oh well, too late nowadays. 

  Haircut Tip:  If ever in a new shop and everyone is busy but that one barber, well you better either wait or leave lol.  Never, and I repeat NEVER, go to the free barber lol.
