I have committed to giving The Man a hair cut this afternoon. If it turns out badly, it will be my fault.
He's had his hair really long for several years now, and I like it that way, but it's time for a change. Besides, sometimes hair can be too long to take care of well. For many years, I was the only hairdresser anyone in this house had services from. Now that The Girl has become a licensed hairstylist, she does The Boy's hair and mine, but she's all trendy and The Man is old school.
Truthfully, I would like to update his look just a bit. I think it's time to leave the hippie fashions and styles behind. Let's face it, the sixties are so over, man. So last century.
I have to give him an old school haircut that looks not so old school. And he has to like it.
So, send me your good wishes and positive vibes to help me not to screw this up.

oh dear, i hope it turns out well fer ya both. i cut the hubs hair 'n threaten 'im within inches 'f his life 's he continues to tell me 'how to do it'. like i've fergotten in the past 30 odd years? the good thingy 'bout it, if'n yer fella don't like it - it'll grow out. my eldest son embraces the hippy stage. in fact, whilst loadin' up a truck outside a residence he was workin' on last winter - a fella stopped 'n asked 'im if'n he needed a ride to a shelter. long hair, long beard 'n tattered work jacket. i laughed, he didn't think it so funny.

I've never attempted cutting anyone's hair. Last time my husband attempted to cut my son's hair it didn't turn out very pretty haha so we decided we'd leave it to the experts. Real experts.

It is far more 'in' vogue to have very short cropped hair rather than long hair.

I don't envy you that job. I once cut my daughter's hair (when she was a child), and I only meant to trim it. The trouble was that one side kept looking shorter than the other, so I'd cut the other side to match, and so it went on. She ended up pretty shorn!
