After growing my beard out for maybe 5-6 years, trimming it myself and generally keeping it looking “reasonable” I thought I’d treat myself and go get it trimmed by a “professional” first thing before a day full of webex meetings.
Now admittedly it was maybe a bit What year is it?, but it was well taken care of. Wee dude even commented on how it was one of the softest he’d cut.
Then he fucking trimmed it to fuck, into a big sorcerers point while I just sat there aghast. Absolutely scunnered.
You could always reset back to bald:
J/k your post reminded me of this old meme and gave me an excuse to look it up.
I had this.
My beard wasn’t particularly long, maybe 2.5-3 inches below my chin (how do you measure a beard?) and mostly trimmed down the sides, but it needed tidying up.
Went to the barbers for a haircut and they asked if I wanted my beard doing also. I said yes, just neaten it up, but keep the length. That guy practically ran number 3 clippers over it and called it a day…
Ouch!
He said he was gonna just trim the sides and tidy it up. Next thing he was running the trimmers right up my cheek as a solitary tear ran down my cheek.
Oh man, that must be galling. At least you know it’ll grow back eventually. time to look for a new barber?
First time I’ve been since 2017! I’ve been growing my hair out and my wife just gives me a trim when I feel like it. Won’t be making that mistake again.
I’ve not been to a hairdresser in over 20 years, but occasionally do wonder what it would be like to pop back in just once as a treat.
Yeah, thanks for saving me from myself.
This really calls for a picture, or there’s not much to say.
But thenmy big stupid heid is exposed!
That doesn’t look disastrous! and you have enough length left to correct the shape to something rounder if that’s what you had before
Thinking I’m just gonna embrace it. Get a nice dark purple robe and a staff and just cut about cursing folk.
Lean into the Wizards sleeve
I put on my robe and wizard’s hat
I like it.
Cheers! To be fair it is growing on me finally.
Beards dae that
I say no to the goatee. You should, too. Trim that off so you have a straight line bellow the jaw, it will look less messy. I don’t know what this barber was thinking.
Also is the combo long hair + long beard a conscious choice? :)
What, you mean you don’t like it?
It looks really messy to me. As far I am concerned it’s either short and nicely trimmed beard with long hair or big beard with short hair. As I am loosing mine, I went with the second option (also I’m a bit fat so I still keep my sideburns very short. A bit like this)
Do you have examples of a before and after? Or have you provided it and I’m just clueless? Lol
Tip: find a photo of the look you want and show it to them rather than explaining it.
