Title: Where can I get a hip $25-$30 haricut in the DC area?
Post by: Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer on August 23, 2004, 09:01:00 am: Any suggestions? I want to look more like an aging shaggy haired rocker than a middle aged statistician.

They kept changing staff so much at the old place I went to that I went through 4 hairdressers in less than 2 years...

Post by: mankie on August 23, 2004, 10:52:00 am: Not meaning to bring up the Brit/Doodle comparison, but after 18 years I've discovered you can't get a good haircut in the USA at any price.

Two things I ALWAYS did when I went home...buy a pair of Doc Martins and get a haircut, because both are inferior this side of the ocean.

Grooming Lounge. It's a bit more at $45, but they won't screw up your hair. Ask for Doc.

Post by: Samantha on August 24, 2004, 06:40:00 pm: I need exactly the same, Rhett. I'm really wanting a mohawk but I need somebody who knows what I'm talking about to do it, cause I'm not exactly sure what I want, y'know. I need someone who I can trust to give artistic license. but um I'm not rolling in dough.

advice: line up job *before* getting mowhawk (or if focusing only on school, then I guess you don't need to worry)

Post by: thirsty moore on August 25, 2004, 10:26:00 am: Seriously, don't pay someone for a mohawk. I know my prior posts suggest otherwise, but I think paying for one steps over some kind of line.

Post by: Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer on August 25, 2004, 10:52:00 am: Ok, I'm only going to say this once. JUST SAY NO TO A MOHAWK.

At this point in the history of both punk and hairstyles, if you're wearing a mohawk, you just look like a riduculous poseur idiot.

I guess it's a good form of birth control though.

so you're getting a mohawk as a compromise for those who don't want you to shave it (assuming you're talking about your head)? that's not punk rock!

why don't you *really* do what you want?

Shave it all. It's cheap, easy maintanence, you can do it yourself and people will think you're a lesbian, which is in these days.

Post by: Samantha on August 25, 2004, 09:02:00 pm: I just wanted to shave it once and then grow it out. and I'm not really punk. at all. I just think the little mohawk deal is cute. I wouldn't keep it very long, a few months maybe. I like changing my hair a lot.

Have to agree Samantha. If you ever want to do something wild to your hair, do it now before society owns even more of your body via the work force or any other affiliation that you may be dependent upon. Also, some of those things just don't look the same on an older body. Can't say that I'm all that mohawk crazy myself but if that's what you want, go for it.

Hope you find the right style and person to help you out with it.
