new thread
this past week i must have been disoriented or something from all the college work but i....ventured into a barber shop. i felt the bad vibes the second i walked in. i went in to trim my side burns for a special occasion and my aunt who usually did it was busy i saw this shop off campus and walked in. i told the lady id like to trim my sideburns get anywhere near my hair and ill call the police. so she trimmed my sideburns but in one swoop TOOK OUT HALF MY BEARD and then said it made you look like jesus.... needless to say she did not receive payment for the trim lol it not really a big deal i have a goatee now as you can see but i really miss my beard lol just a little word to the wise never ever wander in to a unfamiliar barber shop a lesson i had to learn the hard way :{ [
I think it looks good. Try out this style as it grows back...perhaps this style will grow on you...
yea yea i wouldn't have minded so much if it wasn't for the "it made you look like jesus" comment you know where did she come off making the decision to shave my beard im sure i would have shaved it on my own eventually i wasnt even that upset about it just the nerve of some people you know
I'm sorry to hear that happened, but, technically, what you're wearing now is called a Van Dyke. Goatees connect the mustache to the chin.
lol you caught me there for some reason i dont grow hair that connects it nor do i grow hair between my mustache :{ ]
Hey Kal El. First of all don't EVER go to a strange barber shop without even a recommendation from a close friend as that is just asking for trouble.Fortunately you didn't get an unexpected buzz cut as maybe the electric razor may have slipped!OOOPPPSSSS!Oh Sir I'm so sorry to have given you a mohawk by accident!LOL.Well fortunately it was only facial hair which grows back much faster than head hair.So consider yourself lucky and trim your own sideburns next time if your aunt is unavailable.Your hair is too great to let unknowns get near it with scissors.Mark
In her defense, it's hard to tell where your sideburns stop and your beard begins.
Then again, what does she have against looking like Jesus?
Whoah! When i first read your topic i thought that you had chopped off your hair or something, lol:D
Well, i don't think it looks bad at all without the beard, but i can understand if you miss it, it shouldn't take too long to grow back.
I honestly can't stand beards -_- (probably sounds ironic coming from someone who was brought up in a Muslim home lol) But the goatees looks nice on some people, and on others it's almost as bad as the full beard lol
Like others, I thought your hair was shorter or gone. The beard will grow back and this will give you a new style for a little while.
And it actually looks good. Its not too drastic of a change.
I hate it when that happens. Once I was to trim my goutee and accidently set the trimmer to #1 instead of #5 as usual and trimmed a short gash in my beard I was horrified and had no choice but to finish it off or look strange. After the initial shock I got used to it and now trim at #3.
You look fine this way but if you don't like it it will grow back.
At least your hair is intact cause if she touched that we'd have to put out a contract on her.
Kevin
I think that the new beard is better than the old one (they both look nice though).
Kyle
sorry to hear about your beard, like the others said it wont take too long to grow back. btw I hate when people say someone looks like Jesus just for having a beard and long hair, no one really knows what he looks like and whats wrong with wanting to look like Jesus anyways lol
Hey, even though we're around the same age, I can't grow a decent hair on any part of my face quite yet. Your beard was looking pretty cool, too bad it was inadvertently shaved. Here's hoping for no more mishaps at the hands of hair removal tools.
Peace,
Ryan
LOL! At that third pic, with the pouting lower lip. Quite a contrast from the big smile when your mom played with your hair. At least it wasn't the hair on your head, the beard will return, and much more quickly than if it had been the hair on your scalp.
Carol
You're lucky, but this was an easy lesson to have. Never wander into the shears of an stranger! This time, your beard, next time your hair. (Your beard looks good either way, btw)
Take care,
Bruce
hey Kal-El,
I'm just glad that was all that went wrong. the beard grows back easy.
It would have been worse if the hair was butchered.
Keep looking good.
At least it wasn't the head hair. Luckily for us guys, facial hair grows back much faster than head hair (mainly because it's shorter) lol.
Hey there Kal El, son of Jor El, savior of Earth, last hope of Krypton, warden of the Phantom Zone, future husband of ace chick reporter Lois Lane, ex-boyfriend of Lana Lang, archnemesis of Lex Luthor, Man of Steel, Righter of Wrongs, Bringer of Justice, to you I wish the BEST OF LUCK AND GOOD FORTUNE WITH ALL YOUR STUDIES IN COLLEGE! You'll be conspicuous in your absence here.
As I read this tragi-comic personal account (yeesh, what possessed you to entrust your long locks to a stylist, laddie?), I could hear the melodic pop-music rock 'n roll strains of the theme song to your favorite (and ONE of my favorite!) tv series, "Smallville", that being TRAVIS's "Somebody Save Me!", which was already in the top forty when I was in school, SEVEN YEARS AGO, as I attended the Art Students League of New York, one of the best art schools around BTW, attended by students from all over the world.
Once again, Kal El, all the best wishes to you for college. Let's see ya get that degree!
Yours in sci-fi and fantasy fandom and longhaired camaraderie,
Quenyan
