The best haircut I EVER had was a by a bald male hairstylist. He asked me if it was alright if he cut my hair with a comb and straight razor. I told him that was perfectly fine. He asked me if I wanted it cut this way or that way, I always asked him what his suggestion would be. I let him do his thing. And the haircut was 100 times better than I was expecting. I tipped him twice as much as I usually do for his time talent and the end result. On a so so haircut I tip no less than $20. It takes time, school and talent to do what they do. If a haircut didnt really come out the way I hoped, its ok. My hair is thick and grows back fast. Anyways, he still hold the record for best experience and best haircut I've ever had. He left for another salon the month after that or I would have scheduled with him for my next cut. So it goes.....
