Odd happening today, haircut with my barber from 20 years ago [View all]
I make my haircut appointments on an app. No waiting time.
I get there. Im next. She says, You look familiar
I have no idea. She has a mask on.
Your eyes look familiar - no she wasnt hitting on me.
She has my name on the ticket and I plop down in the chair and say I really just need it thinned out (grabbing hair above the ears) up here. I guess its a unique thing I do.
Oh my God. Youre _____ from the John Marshall! Old Richmond barbershop. Every Governor has for 30-40 years gotten at least one haircut there.
I jumped up and twirled around in the chair to
look at her name tag. I jumped back up and we hugged.
She was pregnant 20 years ago the same time my wife was. We literally caught up on 20 years. Shes had a bit of a rough time but seems like things are going well now.
Like always? She asked. Yeah go ahead. She remembered that I used to leave hair to stick behind my ears. No I changed that after no one else got it right. No notes. She remembered my haircut like it was yesterday.
