My Barber has a PhD

For me, getting my hair cut has always been an ordeal to suffer through. I hated barbers and their filthy shops. They smelt, talked and played terrible songs on the radio. And they hurt you. And they looked at you with surprise if you offered them your own blade to shave the edges of your hairline.

Well, I've never gotten a haircut in the US, but from what I hear, the experience is not much better. The reason is different though - a decent haircut could cost you about $15 + $2 in tips. At once a month, you'd spend nearly $200 in haircuts annually. And if you are as underpaid as a grad student, this can mean 20 dinners out. Imagine, 20!

So when I moved into Tempe, it is with great joy and with a sense of accomplishment that I bought myself a Wahl do-it-yourself hairclipper. No more of those smelly idiots messing my hair. And at $20, it was a steal. But we haven't got to the best part yet - how many of you have the privilege of getting a haircut from a Physics PhD who does a neat, clean job in under 15 minutes, in the luxury of your own bathroom?
