I got a haircut tonight, trying out a new stylist. I think she’s a keeper. Tammy and An tried out a new look, too. For those paying very close attention, yes, this is the second time I’ve posted haircut results in this outfit.
Haircut!

Where’s a good place to get a haircut in Berlin?
Sure, I could google it. But I’d rather have your opinion.
Where’s a good place to get a haircut in Berlin? I try to spend 20€ or less. Someplace accessible via public transit, please.
Follicle Follies
Had a little fun with the auto-barbering prior to getting a haircut yesterday. Roll your mouse over the images for the description or clue as to what I was going for. After my haircut (11€, details at C+M), I finally ditched my Winterbard.
K.C. haircut
I have this tendency to get a haircut while on vacation. I would have gotten it shorter, but since I’m workin’ the beard, and we’ve seen what happens when the hair on my face is too long compared to the rest of the hair on my head.
If you’re in Kansas City, needing a haircut, call up the Bellezza Salon and make an appointment for a haircut with Valerie. $20 and no charge on the beard work.
the free haircut that wasn’t worth it (or was it?)
Prior to my trip to Romania tomorrow, I wanted to get a haircut. I’d been having very good luck at C&M on the corner of Am Römling and Ludwigstraße and their 11 € haircuts. Two quick, thorough, and very professional haircuts in a row done by the pleasant, if weird-looking Matthias, had me convinced I’d found a new favorite barber.
Third time wasn’t a charm, however. Matthias was busy with other clients (and I don’t know how to ask for a particular friseur — or whether they even do that, since this place works on the take-a-number FIFO format). I got a pleasant young-looking woman. I asked for a trim down to my usual 6mm and I thought all was well until suddenly another stylist came over to exlain that we had a problem. It seems the original one had cut a swath shorter than 6mm into the back of my head down by the neck and the only way to fix it was to cut that section of my hair down to 3mm or so and fade it longer up into the 6mm on the rest of my head. All staff members were apologetic and immediately offered to do this cut on the house due to their mistake.
But that looked dumb. So I had them do the whole head (barring the top) down to 3mm. OK, I like it short. But that made my beard look dumb. Once I got home, I tried trimming my beard so that it was shorter than the hair on my head, but that also looked less than optimal. So I trimmed the whole beard off (see below). I am kind of sad to see it go and return to the daily or nearly daily shaving regimen.
So, two points to ponder for the future:
- Should I go back there again next time? The first two haircuts were brilliant. The third one less so, but they did do their best to make up for it.
- Can you believe I wrote three whole paragraphs about my own personal grooming?
