I need a haircut.

Characters: David Walkerton, Joyce Brown
Location: Joyce and Walky's apartment
Maggie hates it when my hair’s too short. She also hates it when it’s too long! So basically I try to achieve the balance of “looking like I had a haircut long ago but not too long ago.”
I hate haircuts. I really do. You’re stuck in a chair for fifteen minutes and you have to pretend to be a person to another person. It’s awful.

Just have a mullet, Willis, saves both troubles 😛
Oh, but does Joyce also fancy Sal’s hair? º3º
“Does Walkyverse!Joyce“, you mean? We already know that answer for DoA!Joyce.
I hate haircuts too, but I’ve never gotten the chance to let my hair grow really long.
See, I really like getting my hair professionally cut… and haven’t been in over three years. **sigh**
I’m here from the future to tell you it’s gonna be awhile longer until your next professional haircut
that’s me and my husband
like, I like longer hair (on other people), and he thinks it’s a hassle, and the main difference between us is I don’t think I can get away with short hair and not look like a cancer patient (which my co-workers already think I am due to like 40+lb weight loss from OTHER medication)
anyway he looks like literally decades younger when he gets a haircut and I jelly I guess
Really, Walky?
A haircut at THIS point?
I felt like a living god when I realized I could trim the one lock of hair that annoyingly got in my eyes and delay cutting the rest.
I thought for a moment that the two were stuck together with a bandaid.
Don’t worry, Willis; when you are half bald, haircuts go a lot faster.
Fifteen minute haircut? 🤣🤣🤣
I get charged the thickness surcharge in any salon that has one. I’m lucky if I can get a haircut in under 45 minutes. An hour is more typical. Although I suspect that fifteen minute haircut probably doesn’t include a shampoo and dry. But even if I were to have a cut with no shampoo or drying, it’d still probably be about 30 minutes…I have that much hair. Although why skip the shampoo…the scalp massage is the best part of the haircut.
But I admit keeping up a conversation over the sounds of a blowdryer is annoying.
Alas, Joyce likes her man with shaggy hair and she has learned all the non-vocal means of emotional manipulation!
“Pretend to be a person to another person”
That a really good way to put it, and it resonates in me.
We had a barber that was my father’s old friend. We would go to his house, have a beer (for my dad) and a box of chocolates (for me).
When he died, I let my hair grow, from 17yo to ~20yo. Then I thought that time was over, I had to cut them, went to a barber, *pretended to be a person* and listened to a few rant about soccer…
… Then bought a hair clipper. That was 13 years ago. I like to think I saved a few hundred bucks this way.
One good thing about going bald in my 20’s is I don’t have to have lengthy haircuts. It’s all practically gone anyway. …I miss having a full head of hair.
So go to a chain. At Supercuts, they don’t care enough about you as a person to press the issue if you don’t respond to anything but direct questions about how you want your hair.
This is a large part of the reason I have a ponytail. Although even I have to admit it’s starting to look a *little* ridiculous in conjunction with my expanding forehead-line. It kind of looks like my hair has slipped backwards.
Last time I got my hair cut, Reagan was President.
There are reasons for that.
I get major ASMR from haircuts, so I could never hate them. But I’m one to talk, since I’d clearly rather have long hair than ever get it cut.
What’s even worse is when you get asked nine hundred questions about how you want it and you 1) couldn’t care less about your physical avatar to the rest of the world, 2) have social anxiety and expressing an opinion to a complete stranger is just the worst, and 3) don’t know enough about hair styling to understand what they’re talking about anyways.
