Hello Lotters, I don't know when was the last time i had a haircut but definitely took a while before i made my decision. finally,I decided to withdraw my last four dollars from paypal and not using it in skype since my mom need the money for her guest tomorrow in her christian organizational meeting. as for me, i did saved one dollar to something I've been wanting to do, have my hair CUT. Yeah, I've decided to just wait for 15 days for the skype because my mom didn't really need it anyways, she can text them. am just tired of combing my hair and not to mention i get bad tempered easily because it's also annoying to my ears. Good thing i had guts to have some hair gotten rid off. I am probably taking a shower if you're reading this discussion, haven't mylot yet. Have a nice day

So how do you find your haircut? Does it suit your face?

i sometimes have a fear on going to the parlor to have a haircut because if there is a chance that the hair cutter cuts the ear, i'm in a fear sometimes....

Hello simpld, a lot people say that it's the haircut for the "singles" therefore i think it's suited on me. not to mention I've been having this kind of hair cut for years. by the way since the barbershop settled there i never went to the parlor again.

OMG Mantis! Sad that you have to experience those. But they really do happen. So, what did you do to the salon representative who did the massage to you and to the other one who nearly cut your ears. You sure are so kind. If i were you, i could have scolded them and complained to the manager. Next time, better choose a salon that have experienced reps. Remove your fear, face what will happen next. Maybe be balded?

Hello NurseClare, I am sorry about the last response i had in the other discussion. Probably i was a bit sleepy i thought you're one of those post to add number lotters. you can actually use skype to call land line abroad but the rates in the US are actually cheap compare to other places.but you need paypal earnings to do that. you can use mylot earnings to get funded for your skype. have a nice day

Glad you got your hair cut. I trimmed mine yesterday. I want to try to let the back grow out though.

Hello step, I won't let it grow anytime soon. good thing that you trimmed yours, did you do it yourself or in the parlor?
• Philippines

happy new haircut! it definitely lightens the mood and feeling. like a weight lifted. hehe no more long strands annoying your ears. lol this reminds me that i need to have my hair trimmed again. it grows pretty fast that even if i get a trim every month, it still grows back longer. hehe and i'm not adventurous enough to go back to my super short hair a few years ago, even if it's easier to manage that way. i just love my long hair now. have a great day ahead... sporting your new hair cut of course. hehe

whatever makes you happy... it doesn't matter what cut it is as long as it has achieved its purpose.

Hello myles, It does lightens the mood and less irritant having my hair cut. I just can't believe i made this long after just a few months. Where it should have been weeks before I had my hair trimmed. It's supposed to be a crew cut but the barbers cut is much more decent. have a nice day.

I hope you enjoy your haircut! Sometimes you just have to justify doing it and just do it. I have a lot of hair and my hair usually grows super fast. A couple of years ago, I did not get my haircut for 2 years because that was the least of my worries since I had other things to pay for that were more important. I ended up getting a part-time job at a salon and the stylists there had a hay day with my hair. I get free haircuts, so we finally just chopped it off and I still get tons of compliments on it. I usually wore my hair up anyways, and I knew that it needed to be cut, so I justified getting my haircut and I'm glad I did because I LOVE it!

@Joanna: Hi! I have naturally wavy hair, so if I cut it myself, it would definitely be uneven. When I had bangs, I used to cut my bangs myself, but that's as far as I would go. Getting pampered is such a treat...I hope you can treat yourself soon! @Letran: Hi! Hair salons are known to be expensive, especially if they offer spa services as well. Before I worked at the salon that I am at, which is not a spa, I would go to a salon/spa because I finally found someone I liked and trusted with my hair. But it was expensive, so I only went a couple of times a year. When I take appointments at the salon, I am just amazed at how many people stay on schedule to get their hair done every 4-8 weeks. Talk about EXPENSIVE! But the stylists I work with (I am a receptionist) are independent stylists, so they rent their stations, buy their own products, etc., so it is a business for them and that is how they make their living. But, all in all, I'm glad you got your hair cut!

Hello Mindym, My mom do go to hair salon when ever she has money for it. but i've heard now a days that hair salon is believed to be expensive but it depends on the person demanding the style of his or he hair. i remember my mom had my niece design her hair for the Procession of Flowery May. her hairstyle was different much more like glued. have a nice day.

That's great! I had my hair relaxed about two weeks ago. And it took me 34 dollars for the hairdo and additional 2 dollars for the tip. Darn! It made me go to the bank and withdraw that amount because I did not expect it would cost me that much! Anyways, I am fully satisfied with the outcome and also with the service I got. Let's enjoy our new look! :)

Hello onque, What the?!thirty four freaking dollars is definitely a lot of money to boot! having you're hair down in the parlor sure is expensive. I mean, see it all the time the price rates way beyond ten dollars, and i can only afford a dollar. am just lucky that the nearest barbershop is our neighbor. thank you so much.

Good job. Sometimes I skip out on grooming myself because it just seems pretty low on my list of priorities. But, it is something that makes you feel good about yourself and puts you in a better mood. And it is just the little things. A hair trim... nails done... eyebrows waxed. It really doesn't take much.
• Philippines

Hello dismalgrin, Well, you can usually comb your hair and put some pins on it. guys are not generally fit to have a long hair unless they want to express their ideas on it or they are part of a band or something. Nails done is also just part of the grooming, who knows having long nails can make you loose your nail ripped from you're thumb skin. have anice day

I had my last haircut in january and am still waiting for it to grow out. I had it cut to the nape of neck and now it is just barely touching my shoulders. I am hoping it will grow out soon so I can cut it. Money is so tight right now and where my husband works they want the men to have short hair. luckily, my husband's hair does not grow fast and can go 4 months between haircuts. As for mine, I wish I could afford to get it trimmed, but most places will not trim it for a lower cost. I hate going to places like Great Clips because they always seem to cut it wrong. I am female and I know that most girls like long hair, but my hair is so thin that it just hangs there and it looks stringy.

Hi LetranKnight The new hairdo is surely going to suite you more. I saw your pic and video on the blog and that is why I can say this. That reminds me, I have to get my hair dressed soon... I am growing my hair long! and want them to grow longer than my wife's. Been about two years since I cut my hair. Only trimming and getting them dressed so that they are manageable.

Hello thesids, Thanks a lot for the compliment buddy. it's cool to have a big pile of hair but not good all the time as i have to comb it all the time.Yeah, notice that in your pic that you're hair pretty much longer, i think it can be annoying what more if there are fleas started invading you're hair? better have it cut with style. have a nice day.

Hello Toni, Yes, that's why I am a little bit late this time because i know that we couldn't afford to have another hang over in head and irritating my ears. thanks for the compliment, have a nice day.

I think, barber's cut or what we call "gupit binata" really looks good on most guys, looks very neat too, especially if you get a razor shave with it,cream and that free massage the barber gives you if you are great in tipping
• Philippines
30 Jun 11
Hello Louievill, Nope I didn't request for a free massage except he does it when ever the hair cutting is done. usually with shave it can last for 30 minutes. to be honest the owner prefers to be doing it with me since i am one of his first customers. unfortunately, i find him too slow so i avoid him when ever i have my haircut.they're good at least.

Hello Bhabycatch, Never that i will want to be a punk it doesn't suit more or less. oh, no don't throw guavas because my dog jolen is going to eat them. funny that reminds me of eating fruits for once in my life. thanks and have a nice day to you.

Hello Mantis, I have read you're other comments, it's sad and negligence on some one on the parlor would actually be careless and got you hurt. i have seen a gay stylist accidentally slashed that persons neck but not that hard, the customer didn't even knew he was bleeding. have a nice day.

Well, I never have to worry about my hair needing Cut or trimmed as I do not Cut my hair. My husband on the other hand needs to go get his done again as it is getting long. The problem is finding someone that will do it for a cheaper price. Around here unless you know someone who can do it reasonable it costs around $10, and a lot of the places tend to leave it too long.

first off, let me just say that i'm truly amazed that you have your own category man. grats on this one!!! you're a really devoted mylotter hence you deserve your own category. fellow mylotters should look up to you because of your dedication and hard work in this site. going to your topic, i'm never grown my hair and have sported a bald head for the longest time so getting a haircut has never been a concern. instead i just shave it on my own with a mach 3 razor and a good helping of shaving cream and i'm a happy camper when i look at my shiny bald dome after a couple of minutes.

Hi Letran Knight. Well that'sa nice way to spend your money. It's being more than a month since I don't cut my hair. I normally cut it every 6-7 weeks. That's enough for me and I'm planning to cut my hair for next week. Enjoy your new haircut. ALVARO
