Anyone else have trepidation when your normal cutter leaves suddenly? I had a lady cut my hair for a few years now (and before her the same one for about the equal time). I could go in and joke "Same ol', same ol'"...no issues. She got a job at a full salon (more money and less travel, so kudos to her!) To me, its almost like going to a new doctor.
Not to mention the lady tonight wasn't following what I asked and had to do some adjusting. Her small talk was cringe worthy, too. "Are you going to dressed up for Halloween?" "Its a good thing you can only get opioids for 10 days. My friend almost died two weeks ago." "Do you have kids? I have a three year old. He doesn't play with toys much, but likes watching the garbage disposal and things." My shirt was damp on the back when I left I was so tensed up about the whole deal!
The haircut is fine, but I'll select another cutter next time. I was partially to blame due to someone else doing the cutting and being weird about it.
Anyone else have haircutterchangephobia?

Nah, I have a short military style cut - "high and tight". Tough to screw up and if they want to be chatty, I can chat it up for the 10 mins it takes to do.
The worst is when the dental hygienist wants to chat, how am I supposed to talk with all the [censored] she has stuffed in my mouth? 
I cut my own hair with clippers. I can't see the back of my head, but I do the best I can do.
She was most likely as nervous as you. I would give her another try.
Sort of. My ex-girlfriend used to do it, and I got in the habit of regarding it as foreplay.
When we split up I was too sentimental to go to a pro so I learned to...ahem...do it myself. (Though I've subsequently had offers, honest.)
Old fashioned screw-adjustable safety razor set loose does a reasonably neat trim. Its thinning anyway.

My only notable haircut was boot camp. It went really fast and when I walked outside I could tell which way the wind was blowing using my head. The haircut set the tone for the rest of boot camp.

I've been using the Flowbee for over 10 years. Have saved $1000's, looks and works great.
Boys get haircuts.
Men go bald.
I don't let a woman cut my hair.
I go to an old-school barber shop with 5 chairs and a 6th station where wheelchairs fit. #3 on the sides and back, taper the back, finger-length on top. Each barber interprets that a little differently but I really don't care that much...it'll grow back and I'll be back in a month. I get hot under that stupid drape and just want to get it over with as quickly as I can.

Buzz it myself w/ a Wahl. Not much choice, either that or do the comb-over which I'll never do. Joys of the family genetics ...
I walk in and ask for a #4. Thats the cutter head. Cuts the sides down to 3/8- 1/2" Make all sorts of chatter about asking for a discount due to lack of hair on top. In and out in less than 10 minutes
