The same person cut my hair for 14 years, starting in 2001. It was a regular chain place, I was almost always pretty satisfied.
Had a couple haircuts that were bad last September, and also felt like I caught some shade from him when I commented about how I'd never let my kid go to public school in Chicago (they're horrible). I'd been contemplating going to a proper barber and started going to one in September. Great haircuts and beard trims and conversations ever since. But it's been bothering me off and on that I cut ties overnight with the previous person. We weren't friends but had that friendship you have with someone like that for that length of time. I keep wondering if maybe he thinks something bad happened to me or my family. I didn't say goodbye, I didn't complain, I just stopped going. He was a pretty nice guy, but I just wanted a change. Should I have done a proper break-up and told him I was going somewhere new?
- be the change you want to see in the world.imbecile
- interesting. I wish I could say yes, you should have told him. I loathe that kind of confrontation so I'd likely have avoided it, as well.Gnash

- just strut past his place with your snazzy new hairdo and he'll know you're safe + realise he needs to up his game.Fax_Benson
- lol @faxGnash
- Ha @ Fax. I don't walk by there often but I could.mg33
- I guess I just feel bad because he's known me through a lot of changes in life. Being new to Chicago, dating someone I'd later marry, new jobs,mg33
- having our first child last year. He was really excited to see me become a dad.mg33
- Do you have his phone number? If no, he's not a real friend.freedom
- If he misses you, he will call, he might not be as invested in you as you might think. he was your one hair guy. But he has more clients so I'm sure he's fine.sea_sea
- Maybe his wife teaches in the Chicago public schoolsvaxorcist
- This was a nice read. I don't think you need to do much, if it's a hang out barbershop and you've gone there to kick it and have discussions, drop by and saybklyndroobeki
- hello. Otherwise,...
You both have separate lives. He's running a business and wasn't serving up quality cuts, don't blame u for moving on.bklyndroobeki - Once switched barbers (in the same place) when my main barber who was OK, yelled at someone else's kid while I was sitting in his chair.bklyndroobeki
- Love how you just know that all Chicago public schools are 'horrible'.wordssssss
- idk about getting your barber's phone number, but i've been friends with mine on facebook before.sarahfailin
- Force your way into his house during dinner to say 'hello'. If he calls the police, it wasn't meant to be.futurefood
- my old barber on the w. coast that i connected with added me to his Instagram. i didn't add him but shou maybe go the social network route as sarahf. suggested.bklyndroobeki
