Uhh... nobody stops going to the barber just because they work from home.

Not only that, who goes to a barber during work hours? That's something that one would assume would happen closer to home regardless, such as on a weekend.

  People go to lunch at work. I went to the barber. I am salaried and not paid by the hour and am measured by my performance. I see no problem with getting your hair cut at work. In fact at Goldman Sachs they have a barber in the building the CEO goes to.

  I do? Usually have a haircut either 8:30 or 9:30 am, and it’s just a few blocks walk from the office.

    To me, it’s a must to shower after a haircut. Getting a haircut before work would leave me with hairs on my neck or in my clothes: Always after work or on weekends

  Anyone who works from home? One of the perks is you can run errands during working hours when less people are doing it

    Right?! Are people not actually using the perks of WFH? I can just tell my team, "hey I'm gonna step out for an hour, I have a hair appointment" and it's no big deal at all. When I hit a block, I can clean the apartment, start dinner, play videogames. And let me tell you, things you actually wanna do are infinitely more refreshing than "work Reddit." My productivity and energy levels have never been so well managed.

  I don't understand how WFH makes this different, if you can step out and go to the barber while WFH why can't you do it while you're in the office?

I stopped going to the barber, not because of WFH, but for the same reasons that caused widespread WFH. After barbers were closed for months during lockdown I couldn’t take it and started cutting my own hair. I’ve never gone back to the barber since that point.

I did, so that's not true

To be fair I did. I got a flobee (or the modern equivalent, a battery powered clipper with a vacuum) and do my own hair since I started w@h about 10 years ago. I did that because I had more time at home to do it. Before I was so rarely home I had to go to a barber next to the office. I also did it because I hate having to have uncomfortable conversations with someone I don’t know merely because my head excretes too much keratin.
