I used to let friends cut my hair, but they usually just ended up getting mad at each other. Better to let strangers on the street do it -- fewer ownership issues. Love the homage to Yoko Ono.

Kinda got a bit of a mullet going on now, but I couldn't bring shears out with me. Alas. The haircut may have been inefficient. But it seemed to bring people together and they had a good time screwing with my head. Glad to provide. ; D -bg Yeah, you’re right about the back of my neck.
