When I go to get my hair cut and beard trimmed I go to real barbers, you know, with the traditional poles out front and the outdated magazines in the waiting area.
I don't have a regular place to go. Around here barbers have strange hours, so I just drop in when and wherever I get a chance.
Over the last few years I visited a wide variety of barbers of both genders, I'd say evenly split 50/50, in several different cities in Thurston and Grays Harbor counties.
At this point in my life I am at the age where hair on my head grows wildly in places like out of my ears, nose, eyebrows, everywhere except the top of my head, which is thinning rapidly! Like my grandfather used to say, my hair is wavy, it is waving goodbye!
So here is what I have observed when it comes to eyebrows.
Male barbers always ask if you want your eyebrows trimmed. Female barbers never ask, they just do it before you know what is happening. So far, in my experience, this has been 100% true.
It is time for me to revisit James Thurber.
