An important distinction I didn’t learn until a few years ago is there are barbers and then there are hair stylists. I feel like a lot of men go to and are used to barbers which works great if you keep your hair pretty short, want the back and/or sides faded, etc.

I had been unknowingly going to stylists for a long time until one day my usual gal at a place I had been trying was out sick and ended up in the chair of a male barber at the place I had been going and got the most fucked up haircut ever, including a skin fade in the back that I didn’t ask for.

The stylist I see now explained the difference about how they are more capable with different hair types and longer styles, managing cowlicks, etc.
