Had there been no Hair dressers?

You have rightly said that even a 'garbage collector' is important and if he chooses to remain absent for more than 2 days, our house will start stinking. Those who every time show an 'attitude' are not liked in general.

Hi Jen! You have rightly pointed out that all of us would like cave men/women, in case there are no hair dressers. I agree with you that each profession is important in life and everyone is an important clog in the wheel. Imagine, if your fruit seller does not turn up with fruits, how would you get fruits. It is good that you love honesty. Have a great day! Deepak

Right, never underestimate other profession whoever small it seems. Even a garbage collector is important. I see people for their attitudes. However polished is someone's speech if I feel otherwise, I would not join in the conversation.

So sweet of you to think this way .........Celticeagle .......... When my hair dresser cuts my hair nicely and give me a good face massage and head massage, I do not mind paying him some tip.. (My) Hair dresser knows that his job is important and many keep waiting in his shop for their turn..........lol! I shave myself everyday (I do not grow beard) and do not ask my Barber for shaving my face. I normally go to him for getting my hair cut after one month, so that I could look handsome and smarter. Thanks for dropping in. Have a nice day/evening! Deepak

I agree, they do help us look smarter and as I said I do not mind paying for their useful 'services'.

Yes, Deepak, they help us all out don't they?

Though you are right, I don't take the services of a hair dresser for a wedding or function. I prefer doing it myself. And secondly, I've done the cutting for my older son before his brother was born and for a while later (till the younger one decided to be a pain and not allow me to do anything that needed attention). I have a kit with a trimmer (with diff blades), scissors and a comb and I use it. Nothing funky...but I can manage a pretty decent haircut if the boys sit still.

HI SV! Even if you hubby goes for a hair cut after 3 months, he needs the help of a trained Barber, is not it? I mean we cannot do a Barber's job ourselves, as neately and as professionaly, the way he does. It is good to hear that you take care of your sons and take them to Barber for regular hair cut. This way not only your sons look smarter, Barber also earns his livlihood. Hair dresser is also necessary at a lesser scale, you would need a hair dresser, if you need to attend a function/marriage etc. and that hair dresser could even be your friend/relative or a professional. Thanks for dropping in. Deepak Have a nice day!

It is interesting to hear that you have the trimmer etc. and you can cut the hair of your son quitely decently, provided he sit quitely.,

HI ifa! I did not know that your net speed is slow and you are unable to contact your mylot friends. Thanks for dropping in and for agreeing that barbers and hair dressers are very important and without them we may not look like civilized persons. Do you go to a hair dresser?

I would take note of your point that if you are invisible, it means there is some net problem. You can choose not to go to a hair dresser, which does not serve your purpose. It is interesting to hear that you love to grow your hair.

yeah and i can't make any announcement for that. it is always happen in suddenly. but i hope my lot friends can understand me if i just disappear without any notifications for days or maybe for weeks i rare to go to hair dresser since i don't like the new stylish hair right now. they make our hair colorful and cut in unbalance here and there. i love to grow my hair just like that..but i am not a cave man

Hi Irienne! It is interesting to hear that you have attempted hair cut earlier because you do not want to venture out . If you can still do it yourself, let me assure you that you are going to save your time and money. Thanks for dropping in.

Hi Zralte! I am sorry to hear that your hair dresser made you unhappy and did not trim you hair the way you wanted. However, I believe that you look beautiful even in short hair. I will wait for the next time, when you go for hair cut and get a suitable hair cut and again write your comments here. Have a great day! Deepak

I can understand your point and agree with you that ponytail helps in summer months. I hope you will re-appear with your comments, when next time you get your favourably cut.

Awww it's not too bad, as far as bad haircut goes....It's just that I like to be able to tie it up in a ponytail. With the kids and the hot weather, I can't tolerate the hair on my neck. She cut it too short and in steps as well, so to be able to tie up nicely, I have to wait awhile. Yup, will come back next time I have my hair styled

Hi Kra! Thanks for thinking about Barbers and their importance for men.. Had they not been in existence, it would have been difficult to make a difference between a man and a woman due to their length of hair.

HI Lay! It is OK that had there been no hair dressers, we might have done ourselves. However, I feel that we cannot do our hair etc. as a professional does. S/he becomes an expert when s/he does it everyday. S/he masters the art, which we might have not been able to do. I agree that if they are available, we get plenty of time to do other chores. Many thanks for kick starting the post and dropping in after a long time.

Well, if you yourself are forced to do it regularly, then soon you'll discover you could do it better than you expected yourself to. It's like how you start a new job, at first it would feel awkward (mostly when it's a physical kind of a job) however, sooner or later you would get the hang of it and then it would be like clockwork and you wouldn't need to spend too much time adjusting anymore. This is what I meant when I said "you could do it on your own." Thanks for the response.

On the surface it appears easier , however, I would still like to go a Barber to get my hair cut, instead of doing something silly to myself.

Hi cream! Yeah, in the absence of barbers or hair dressers, men/women will have to train themselves to trim their hair etc.. Thanks for dropping in.

Hi Jen! Read other responses, some of the respondents are of the view that they can make do without hair dressers/barbers and would save money, if they do not go there.. For me a Barber is necessary.

Hi Jai! We just cannot perform all the tasks i.e. of a Hair Dresser, plumber, carpenter or electrician or meachanic. Someone needs to do it for us. As some of us are also skilled worker (may be in white collar jobs), therefore, everyone is important in the society. Thanks for dropping in.

Hi James! Your dear wife appears wiser to me because she is right that she cannot cut or trim your hair like a profressional Barber . Your son is young, so he could be persuaded to get his hair cut by his mother. Thanks for dropping in.

Hi much2say! I have seen you after a long time. Hope all is well . It appears that you were busy in planning where and how to get your hair cut, therefore, you were not on mylot (or atleast in my discussions). Back to your response - you see there is no harm if you or your hubby can help you cut your hair. In that case, it is not necessary to go to a hair dresser and it is also true that if we can do something ourselves, we save money too. I do not go to a barber for 'shaving' my face, I do it myself because it is easier and it helps me save some money. However, I cannot cut my own hair, therefore, I go to a barber and do not mind paying him. dpk PS - how are you doing.

Am doing fine. You know it that I love humour. Your comments tell me the reasons of your absence and I can understand that shifting etc. and marriage in a family could make you very busy. Hope things would have settled now and you would have recovered from your illness. So you did get your hair cut because of your sister's marriage and I hope this would have helped you look more beautiful and smarter.

You are funny!! Well, most of February I wasn't even online at all. We moved, and then we had problems getting online - let alone get our phone line going. Then we were sick on and off (all of us, including the kids) so it was hard to get our place into shape (and we still have some unpacking to do!). So anyway life has taken over and I don't have too much time to be on myLot unless I'm up at night like I am now. But I can't do that often because I MUST sleep (as I'm still somewhat sick AGAIN). So a haircut has been the furthest from my mind - believe me!! However, my sister just got married - so my daughter and I DID get our hair cut so we could actually look nice for the event. As my boss would say, I didn't get my hair cut, I got my HAIRS (plural) cut - ha ha. And how are you doing?!

Hi nishant! you have very rightly said that professionals like Hair dressers are very important and in case we keep long hair, we may all look like Sikhs or may be if someone sees are from our back, s/he may mistake us for a woman.. Yeah, it looks beyound imagination that there could be life without Barbers or Hair Dressers. Thanks for dropping in.

You are looking it from the other angle that if you do not require to go to a Barber, it will save your time . You see sitting at a Barber's shop and waiting has its own pleasure, you get to observe different customers and their behaviour and you get to hear lots of sundry news.. We do not grow hair on our head, it is by nature and remember that those who are bald always feel isolated and bad.
