The Clipper Club, Charleston, SC
I've been going to get a haircut for months. Yes months. It had been at least six months since I last got one.
My hair is thick, and I've never been able to do anything with it. I've usually just had a buzz cut all over 2-3 times a year.
Why am I telling you all this? Just to show you what a hopeless case I am, but how my outlook has been recently transformed.
How? Well, those of you who know me know that I am a Twitterholic. I happened to see The Clipper Club one day while I was rambling about in the Twitterverse.
Now, bearing in mind what I've said above, I was skeptical about being pampered.
I'm not really a macho type of guy either, I just need a haircut OK?
My wife told me to go and get a haircut and it would be her valentine treat for me. So I did. Now I'm converted. I understand the pampering bit now. I didn't go for the full monty. Just a haircut.
First impressions? I walked into The Clipper Club and I get a great welcome. That's always nice.
Lori was not only a great barber, but great company for a half hour. Aside from a great haircut, I left feeling like we were almost old friends!
Lori expressed surprise that I succumbed to her advice. She made a few suggestions in regard to my grooming, and I was more than happy to cede to her professional judgment.
I'll certainly be going back again, and I won't wait six months either.
I think I really might have the full works next time too. I quite like the idea of a full neck and shoulder massage. I spend way too many hours in front of this computer!
The after effects? I've taken to using shampoo on my hair again, instead of a bar of soap, and I've taken Lori's advice and started to use Woody's Pomade to try and get my hair to stay where I comb it, and where I want it to be instead of where it decides to go all on its own!
