After watching the girl who cut my hair use only clippers, I decided I was wasting money paying for haircuts. I bought my own clippers and did short on the sides, longer on top. All you need is good clippers and self confidence, unless you're into frosted tips or something. The girl lived in the apartment across from me and she thought I was going somewhere else.
Monty used to cut my hair in the late 90's. I can't remember his name but there was always an older gentleman there that was the first ISU all American basketball player or something. Monty sent him to the storage room to get something once and after he didn't return for a while, Monty got worried. He went to check on him and came back laughing. The guy yelled at Monty for his storage room being a mess.
Another time, a young woman popped in to ask Monty, (in front of the four guys waiting for haircuts), if he did perms and styling.
