Short Back

Anecdote

I was going to get my hair cut on Monday, but my usual barber was shut. I tried again yesterday when I was in town, but they had some kind of special project going on and weren't free for another three and a half hours. I therefore tried a different barber.

I went with one from the Master Barber chain, which I mentioned back in July. Of the "Turkish, English, Romanian and Persian" barbers they have, I got a Persian (Iranian) one. He had a great story about how he snuck into England as a refugee (he's naturalised British now, so can talk about it without fear of being deported); this isn't about his story, though, it's about his haircut.

I knew I was in trouble when he started with a razor rather than scissors. The result is very professional, but it's about a month's growth shorter than I usually have and looks as if it's meant for a smaller head than mine. The back is the most alarming: normally, I have it cut to just above the collar.



I don't think it's been this short since I was born.

Oh well, at least I still have some hair to cut.
