Fred has had the same haircut for over 10 years- Since before we met. Fred has always had some variation of the Caesar cut. Short in the back and sides and a little longer on the top. And he styles this cut by making a messy look on top. This is not a haircut that is hard to do. In fact I have cut Fred's hair for at least 8 of the last 10 years. And nobody has ever commented that it was crappy - ever.
So about a year ago I was growing bored of cutting his hair and I was really wanting him to try out a new look. Don't get me wrong....Fred is Hot and I do like this cut on him but I bet he would look just as Hot in a new Style. So he started going to a barber. And the same Caesar cut he got each time. Fred is not one to speak out and ask -So a couple of months ago I went with him. We were looking through a haircut book and hadn't found anything but then it was his turn. So the guy says what are we doing and Fred of course asked me. I am sure the Barber felt sorry for Fred and his pushy wife however Fred didn't know what to say to describe what we had talked about. So I said can he have something beside the Caesar cut?? Still something short and clean but something different... His suggestion? A faux hawk that is actually not really a faux hawk but rather a little longer of a Caesar cut so that he can still do the messy look if he isn't comfortable in a faux hawk.
So Fred has since been growing his hair thinking that if it were longer then they might have more to work with. So we go to a different shop today and were told- "So I just shorten it up for ya eh?" So Fred says well I would like something different- and he says "okay I shorten the sides and back and leave the top a bit longer ya?" This is when I interject and say - He has had some version of the Caesar cut for the last decade can he have something different? "Okay okay" he says - so he then spends approx 5-7 mins on Fred hair giving him a Caesar cut once again and only he says well the sides are tapered in so you won't have stick outs - ask Fred if he likes it, Fred shyly says its okay and then says to me- " See it looks good eh?" I say well good yes but also the same as the last 10 years. Then Fred pays his $19 and we leave. Fred comments that he has never had such a fast haircut in his life.
I see lots of men out there that there hair doesn't look the same as Freds so I know it is possible....But seriously why can't they just do what we ask? Do barbers only know how to follow the lines of what was there before? I don't get it. I imagine anyone reading this thinks I am crazy pushy and Fred should be able to have his hair the way he wants it...I just want to make it clear he is ready for a change, he wants something new also. He just wont ask for it...That is just Fred.

My husband has had the same hair cut since early childhood with the exception of a teenage stint with the mullet. He thinks he is going to have a comb over one day.
I don't think there is anything pushy or wrong about wanting to try something new. However I don't suggest the mullet or the comb over.
I think that Fred should return to the good old days of a mushroom cut :o)... He sported that look for the 10 years before the Caesar cut... So I guess you are right it is time for a change start a new style hair cut decade... Or maybe he should just shave it right off and do the bald thing then you don't have to worry about it at all :o) (hee hee sisters are allowed to be cruel)
grow it out! :D It works for me...well my wife doesn't think so, but I enjoy it (i haven't cut it since the last time I got it cut before moving). His hair is straight right? He could do the whole 80's rocker look. Fred would look awesome like that!
Just my 2 cents. :)
Is it time for another cut?
