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. I’m next. She says, “You look familiar”
I have no idea. She has a mask on.
“Your eyes look familiar” - no she wasn’t 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 it’s a unique thing I do.

“Oh my God. You’re _____ 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.
