This is going to sound wild but bear with me. You should go to midtown for cheap and sharp short haircuts. The secret is to go to places that survive off the pre-job interview crowd.
One more to round out the trifecta of haircut-related recs. I live in New York, but don’t have a hair stylist there (mostly because $ but also I like to build up a relationship with someone). I do, however, regularly see hair stylists when I’m in Cambridge, Oakland, and London (places I’ve formerly lived or spent a lot of time in). Less expensive, more to chit chat about and makes travel all the more transformative to have it to be the only mode where your appearance gets altered.
Have you ever heard that thing in NYC about barbers? Apparently you shouldn’t share that information with anyone because the next time you go to see them they won't be able to see you. Not 100% sure if that tracks ATM but I love my barber. I get a haircut at least once a week. (if I have the time once every five days) I keep a tight fade and because it’s so short it grows fast. A good haircut and beard trim is hands down one of the best feelings in the world. Fresh haircut right before the weekend? *Pop Smoke voice* I feel invincible
School made us think reading is a holy act. It is not. Its just something to do. Like watching a movie or sports. You aren’t going to be tested by anyone. Read high. Read drunk. Read 2 pages. Read half awake. Remember nothing or just some of it. It really doesn’t matter
I feel like growing up every band or musician besides super huge pop stars was just normal looking. Not weird in a cool way and not perfectly curated. Just actually weird or actually normal. I miss that. Everyone is too hot now. To quote Silver Jews, "What's with all the handsome grandsons
In these rock band magazines?
What have they done with the fat ones?
The bald and the goateed?" We need more normals in music.
