bjarvisI just had the quickest haircut of my life.
I missed my chance to get a leisurely haircut at my regular barber Wednesday afternoon. As an alternate, I decided to try a different barber much, much closer to home this morning. His shop is well hidden from the main street and I only discovered him by having some artwork framed at a shop across the street from him; I was previously delighted to know his hours are 8 AM to 7 PM too, giving me much more scheduling flexibility.
At 9:15 AM, he had no other customers so I was seated immediately. In a mere 4 minutes, he had buzzed me with a #2 setting, shaved down the back of my neck, ran a quick vacuum over my head to remove bits of hair and showed me the results. And despite the quick time, it's actually a pretty good haircut, vastly better than Paul-the-barber-who-can't-do-math that I made the mistake of using a while ago. And all for $12.
As I was getting a donut at the shop next door with my sudden burst of spare time, I figured if he could push through enough heads to fill an hour at $12 each, that's $180/hour... :-)
