Haircuts

[Ice]

How often do fellow members get their haircut? I just went today after about a little over a month,but I usually try to get mine cut every 3 weeks. How about everyone else?

[seireikhaan]

Meh, I don't get my hair cut very often, I'm kinda shaggy.

[Ser Clegane]

About every 2 months - I hate getting haircuts...

[KukriKhan]

Mrs. Kukri cuts mine about every 2 months.

Once I departed the military (haircut every Friday), I quit shining shoes, brass, and leather, and cut my hair only when it starts getting in my way.

And grew a beard.

And only iron my clothes for weddings and funerals.

2+ months usually

[Csargo]

Seems to be a trend.

[Mithrandir]

I love getting my hair cut, the headmassage aspect of it, I hate the compulsory talks about absolutely nothing.

Gotta love the magazines they have...

[edyzmedieval]

Once every month. My hair's starting to grow shaggy after a month, especially the sides. Even though I like it big, because I can make my favourite type of haircut (the crest...like the French Rooster), I have to cut it.

[Gregoshi]

I just got my hair cut 4 hours ago. I schedule for 7 weeks and that seems to work out nice.

Until about 5-6 years ago I'd go without a haircut until my banges were so long I couldn't stand it any longer. Then I'd forget to call for an appointment for another 2-4 weeks. Once I'd remember to call, I'd have to wait another week or two until there was an opening. Scheduling ahead 7 weeks before I walk out of the place works out much nicer.

I voted wrong, I should have put the last one because I only get a haircut, like, 3 times a year, it would be ok but my hair doesn't grow down it grows sideways.

What a bunch of hippies!

Once every 2+ months. Some day I'll just let it grow and grow...

Edit-> 1 more post to go for 2,000, and a bunch of spammers got the Post Celebration thread locked.

Once a month by my woman.

Used to get it done every two or three weeks when I was a security guard in Montreal way back when. Always by this Italian guy with perfect hair. Then I treated myself to an excellent ice cream cone at the place near the barber shop. It was a nice routine.

When I was finished with that job, I moved to the woods and let the beard and the hair grow until I looked like Rasputin.

[Hepcat]

around 2 months normally. I'm actually due for another haircut soon.

[naut]

Every 4 - 6 weeks, unless I want to grow a mop and it's uncut and unclean for 2-4 months.

[Martok]

Up until 3-4 years ago, I used to get my hair cut every 8-10 weeks. I had a lot more hair back then, so I let get all "fro-ey" on me.

Now, though, I keep my head buzzed as close to bald as possible -- it's wonderfully low-maintenance. My roommate shaves my scalp every 2 weeks or so. If for some reason she's not around to do it, I'll go to the nearest barber shop.

[Hosakawa Tito]

I head down to the old village barber, Kaz, at least once a month. We have to maintain a military buzz-cut, along with the spit-shined shoes, belt, collar brass, and military creases in the uniform at the Shock Camp I work, and I love a fresh haircut.
Kaz is getting up there in age, close to 80, but he's sharp as a tack and lots of fun to talk to. He only charges $7, but I always give him a ten-spot and tell him to keep the change. His stories and friendly banter are well worth the money. I tell him the tip is for the entertainment.

The last time I was there he accidentally nicked my ear with the straight razor. While applying the styptic pencil he remarks to the room, "Yep, looks like I'm going to have to notch the other one to even it up."

[ajaxfetish]

I'm not a fan of haircuts, so I let it grow out quite a bit and then cut it very close, so I can go a good while before needing another. I don't want it to grow too long either, though, because it's so much more work to keep long hair clean. A few weeks back was my first time trying to do it myself, and fortunately I haven't been getting too many funny looks since.

I think most of us are waiting for BKS to post, but there's no "Never in my life!" option in the poll.

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

I was avoiding this thread seeing as I haven't actually cut my hair yet, after making such a big deal about it in that thread before. Since you bring it up, though, the last time I cut it was about 3 and a half years ago.

But I'm getting it done on thursday, honest! The appointment's made and everything.

[Taedius]

Last time I had a pair of scissors in my hair, was in May 1995. It stopped growing a long time ago, of course. I treat it well otherwise, though.

[Beirut]

But I'm getting it done on thursday, honest! The appointment's made and everything.

And on that day The Frontroom will mourn and my chainsaw will observe a minute of silence.

[IrishArmenian]

When on R&R, I rarely get hair-cuts. I get really long, curly hair, as do all other members of my family excluding my father.

When in the military, it is every week.
When preparing for an operation, it is good to get a hair cut, at least for me. A good ol' mohawk gets the morale up.

BKS, stay strong.

[CountArach]

Somewhere between 4 and 6 weeks, depending on how much time I have.

I have a crew-cutish thing going, so I can hide a lack of haircut really easily.

[pevergreen]

End of every school term plus before 1st term. 5-6 times a year.

[King Henry V]

I get my hair cut about twice a year since longer hair suits my rounder face. Presently, I have it in a brushed back side parting, which means I don't really notice the fact that if I combed by hair forward, it would stop just below my nose.

There absolutely MUST be photos. Your adoring public thirsts. I'll doff my hat at Noon (@1900 GMT) in honor of the tonsure.

To mark such a singular event you should consider donating those precious locks to an organization that will use them to make hair-pieces for those undergoing chemotherapy. Make your sacrifice count by helping those in need, a worthy deed.

[Ronin]

every 2 months more or less.

[Gregoshi]

Don't get too excited yet folks. BKS didn't say how much hair he's getting cut. It may just be a little trim to restore some order rather than a full blown "take it all off" cut.

[Dutch_guy]

Usually somewhere between the 4 and 7 weeks, that's usually the time when it tends to get in front of my eyes, or when I can't quite model it the way I'd like to.
