So I bounced around awhile, but when the lockdowns hit, haircutters were hit particularly hard, because they weren't quite "essential" but perhaps they were. I had been with a chain-unisex store, but when I finally got in again they said they wouldn't touch my beard, and I'd need to keep a mask on at all times. Well forget that! I need constant care of my beard just as much as my head. So I found a Black-owned business that was pretty much anti-mask and I was really satisfied for a long time. The owner was a teddy bear who used to work in IT so we had great chats. He would pamper me with an exquisitely meticulous cut, like cutting hair was all he's ever done in his life. (I've never caught COVID.) Eventually I did make another change and now I'm at a barber school. The price is right, I get a different person every time, and it's absolutely a gamble whether I get a good or bad cut, but I love to serve as a student's homework; what can I say?
