One of the advantages of being two weeks beyond your second Covid vaccine.

A haircut! First one in a year. Now, though, a guy has to make an appointment at the barbershop and wear a mask.

My barber said that starting about a month ago, he has been completely booked. I got in on a cancellation. Apparently, a lot of old geezers like me are showing up again to get their ears lowered.

So, I am suitably shorn.

1. Been cutting my own hair for 30 years - pandemic be damned ;-{)

6. LOL FLOWBEE

My husband has used one for years...……So does George Clooney...……..

2. I cannot wait

It is the single most motivating factor for me to be fully vaccinated asap!

10. Wow,,really? Nt

[intrepidity]

12. LOL, yeah, kinda

This solitary isolated lifestyle suits me, but damn, I need a haircut.

3. When I was a kid, I was a towhead.

Watching my curly locks fall onto the barber's apron, I see that my hair is now the same color it was as a child. Am I getting younger?

9. I had an amazing barber. All the hairs he cut were white. How'd he do that?

I haven't been to a barber in a year. I don't know if he still works at the shop. He commuted daily from Canada, and I don't know if barbers were exempted from the closure.

4. I haven't had a hair cut in a year myself, but even though I am fully vaccinated, I am still

apprehensive about having anyone that close to my face. I know that's a little paranoid, but I can put up with these split ends a little while longer.

I am, however, looking forward to spending weekends again with family and friends who are also vaccinated.

5. I enjoyed my first immunized haircut on the first of the month. n/t

7. People have been getting haircuts through the pandemic

I've only gotten one Pfizer shot so far (second on the 27th), but I got a haircut yesterday.

I'm sure it's different in other states, but in California, we've had places open. Masks, distancing, lighter appointment load, etc.

It is nice, though. Because I'm now working from home, I let my hair go for a lot longer. It's thick and grows fast, but for whatever reason, I let it go for almost four months. Trying to rinse out shampoo was an epic morning journey. Feel so much better. It's made my entire week.

I'm pretty sure the barber took the giant pile left on the floor to make a new puppy.

8. Lol, congrats, MM. My hairdresser isn't vaccinated. Have to find another one.

I'd been thinking of it over a year ago, frankly, even though she's close, inexpensive, and good, after she didn't vote in 2020. I accepted her being a purple-haired nihilist whose child was taken away by the courts, but someone who won't vote against rising fascism because she doesn't like government's (almost) too much for me. "Almost" as in I did call to see if she was vaccinated.



Sigh.

11. One of the advantages of living in So Cal. When the salons closed the

stylists would do house calls and the haircut would be outside on the back patio. Longest I went between haircuts in the past year was about 6 weeks.

[tblue37]

13. I am planning to get a haircut as soon as my time is up. My hair is so long I get tangled in it

when I sleep. As a young woman I wore my hair this long, but as an old woman I don't want to.

It's been over a year since my last haircut.

[multigraincracker]

14. Today is my 14th day from my

second shot. Don’t plan on many changes. GF has been cutting my hair and I often wear a hat now.

[Raftergirl]

15. I got my hair cut and colored a few times over summer and early fall when numbers were very good in

NYS. Then they got dicey again so haven’t been to the stylist since October. I will two weeks post 2nd shot on the 23td and have an appointment for the 24th.I cannot wait!

My stylist has also had both shots and is already past the two weeks waiting period.

[greatauntoftriplets]

16. I've been cutting (not well) and coloring my hair for more than a year.

The salon I had gone to (though not that often) unfortunately has permanently closed. Even worse, I didn't know my stylist's last name. I really like her and she totally gets my beachy-breezy-blowy style, as well as my hatred of hair spray.

Today, I tried a different search and found out that she's gone to a place just down the street from her old place. Once things have become more normal and I'm no longer dealing with the aftermath of a fractured ankle, that's where I'm going! Debbie, here I come!
