We have to be the same ageD_House said:Last change was 4-5 years ago to a classic side part - medium length, natural part (not shaved).
Had a ‘front flip’ in my 20s - early 30s after a brief dalliance with a caesar (which was not a flattering look on me). Was a middle part from about 5th-6th grade to senior year of high school (90s trend). Bowl cut alternating with buzz cut (summer look) in grade school.
until 12: burr haircut, occasionally would be able to get the "brush up" in the front I would later comb down as a weak excuse for "bangs"You started rolling with a Pat Riley freshmen year of college? Dude, that girl was trying to do you a favor.
But to answer your question, I’m sticking with feathered center-part til death.
Here's where you're wrong. No Millennial gets away with only one photo of his man bun. Violates the laws of generational physics.About 2 years ago I cut off my man bun. There is exactly 1 known photo of it in existence, and I and I alone possess it.
Some evenings, late at night, in darkness, after everyone else has fallen asleep, I will still pull that picture out...and softly weep, longing to grow my best friend back.
This guy gets itSpring 2016 I switched stylists and have been wearing a faux hawk or pompadour fade ever since. Basically used to just have a normal, conservative business length side part for 20 years. Since the change I’m usually sporting a closely shave sides/back that fades into heavier length on top. Never or rarely used product before, now I rarely go out without it. Usually use matte paste, has a dry look but holds in place.
ASIDE (just because this is why I made the change) - the girl who cuts my hair is part of a high end NYC salon that works mostly with models. Her team won an industry award for North American Salon of the Year a few years ago, and they get nominated like every year. Their rate is like $300-400, but I get a friends discount (&75 plus tip - usually give her $50.) I only know her because we did some volunteer gigs together & we go to the same church.
Anyway, I don’t remember ever gettin complimented on my hair before. In the last 3+ years it’s rare I go a week without someone saying something nice about my hair. Kind of weirded me out at first but I got used to it & just say thanks now.
I guess I’m that guy @Judge Smails? Think we’re roughly the same age.
My sister is one of those stylists. She's worked on everyone from Tim Tebow to Lisa Kudrow to Courtney Love.Spring 2016 I switched stylists and have been wearing a faux hawk or pompadour fade ever since.

My previous go to was Super CutsMy sister is one of those stylists. She's worked on everyone from Tim Tebow to Lisa Kudrow to Courtney Love.
I guess I should have her cut my hair, but I just go to the $15 barber down the street.
My previous go to was Super Cuts
There was a Super Cuts a block from my office so I got my hair cut there for years. They had a lot of cutter turnover so the consistency wasn't great until I became a regular for one stylist.My previous go to was Super Cuts
Yeah, I had the same gal at SC for over a decade. She moved away and I found a guy in Chinatown through Yelp. Not a barber, he has a nice little salon with another stylist. His wife would wash my hair and give me an amazing scalp massage. Pretty sure it was like $15-18 plus tip. Oh, and the guy doesn't know a lick of English. If I had any instructions I had to tell his wife or the other stylist. Went to Danny for a year or two before I met my current stylist, and I go back to him if my gal is on the west coast (she's around L.A. for about a third of the year it seems like.)There was a Super Cuts a block from my office so I got my hair cut there for years.

Since I retired, I ride my bike to a Filipino barbers out in the Avenues. Two chairs: two cousins. It's cheaper than Super Cuts and they finish with one of those Stim-U-Lax massagers on my neck and shoulders. Nothing against Super Cuts but I wouldn't trust one of their employees with a straight razor around my ears.
1987. Changed from center-part to normal-part. Junior in HS.I've had a buzz cut, a perm, dyed blonde, a mullet... As a kid/young adult I experimented a lot with my hairstyle. Freshman year of college, I went from parting my hair on the side, to just slicking it back. 27 years later I still have that same hairstyle. A had one girlfriend that tried to make me change it and I attempted to for about 2 weeks before I gave up on it.
I'm just wondering how often guys change their hair style if they haven't gone bald. I can't imagine me changing it ever again. Just wondering if that's how most heterosexual guys are: Find a style in college and ride it out until the casket closes on you.

So, you're rocking a Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart? Rad.Dont have any hair left, but i did change my facial hair. For years & years i sported a Skydog, but i switched to a negative of that and now have a foot-long VanDyke.
Totally.This guy gets it
i went to a men's salon that was just off Wall Street once. i was asked to be a hair model for a stylist there who was auditioning there. it was staffed by all these crazy hot stylists along with a cigar room, pool table, and full bar. while i waited, i got a massage and hot towel. it was kind of amazing. the head stylist finally took over after the audition and finished the job for her. she was like "move over, let me just fix his hair for you..."Spring 2016 I switched stylists and have been wearing a faux hawk or pompadour fade ever since.

Same here for 23 years. #2 guard on the whole thing (though, I did switch from #3 to #2 a few years ago, if that counts as a style change). I was tutoring a friend in Geometry in HS. We got stoned and she said "let's shave your hair"? I said sure, and it's been that way ever since.Started using clippers myself about 15 years ago (was about 30) and been sporting the buzz cut/shaved look ever since.

I used to do the hair-model thing when I was in college for the free haircuts. nowhere near the luxury you described- it was a teaching experience for the stylist in training... they'd do part of the cut and have to wait for the head stylist to review... stop and go like that for longer than needed.i went to a men's salon that was just off Wall Street once. i was asked to be a hair model for a stylist there who was auditioning there. it was staffed by all these crazy hot stylists along with a cigar room, pool table, and full bar. while i waited, i got a massage and hot towel. it was kind of amazing. the head stylist finally took over after the audition and finished the job for her. she was like "move over, let me just fix his hair for you..."Spring 2016 I switched stylists and have been wearing a faux hawk or pompadour fade ever since.

it was glorious.
No heat - I have very fine hair that doesn’t want to stay in place, just falls where it wants. Besides the matte paste the only thing I do differently is I bought a paddle brush which detangles & gives it more volume than just combing it. I don’t put much time into it at all.I used to do the hair-model thing when I was in college for the free haircuts. nowhere near the luxury you described- it was a teaching experience for the stylist in training... they'd do part of the cut and have to wait for the head stylist to review... stop and go like that for longer than needed.
with my conehead/thin hair, it takes a deft touch the last decade or so for me to be happy with it. had a girl at a fancy soho salon who was a jr stylist (still 75) who was amazing- perfect cut for me every time, and would anticipate/recommend changes in style. but her rates kept going up... after 4 or 5 years it was 130 heading to 150 (so I'd cut back to 3-4x per year instead of 6 or more). then she moved to LA to work on movies/tv... since then it's been a wasteland. went to one of these stupid hipster barbers that opened up on our block that does exactly what bobby's been getting (probably nowhere near as well). that look doesn't work for me unless I spent time blow-drying and installing tons of product... which isn't going to happen.
oh god yes.
And cover your neck tats? Bruh...oh god yes.
I've been wanting to go full neck beard, but that combines everything that is right and just in the world.
i think the most i ever spent on a cut ($65) was at a salon here in Chicago. i found it based on a positive review on Yelp and it was close to the office. i found this great stylist - young, lithe and Ukrainian - that told me how she *knew* how to make me look good. she could have covered me in black tar, set me alight and i would have tipped her double. with her cute little accented voice, i was putty in her hands. i went to the salon religiously for maybe a year before she moved on somewhere without telling me. i kicked myself for a long while after that because i debated asking her out for months.I used to do the hair-model thing when I was in college for the free haircuts. nowhere near the luxury you described- it was a teaching experience for the stylist in training... they'd do part of the cut and have to wait for the head stylist to review... stop and go like that for longer than needed.

it's like going to a nudie bar and asking for the dancer's number.
it is! my boy stumbled onto it last Fall and loved it. he's watched both seasons 4x since without concern for burnout. I've turned him onto Futurama and Bob's Burgers.

it's cool. i'm like 10-12 years behind the curve.I have some bad news...
when I look at the pictures of haircuts on the wall at my barbers', I believe that one is called "The Motocross."
I've done that. Too often to speak of. I look at it as being akin to a tourist falling in love with a tourist trap. "Look. It's everything I long to be!"saintfool said:it's like going to a nudie bar and asking for the dancer's number.
