Suddenly, it seems, everyone in America has very long hair: men, women, children…Will regular haircuts become a thing of the past? | ThatAmelia
Of all the little pleasures forsaken over the past year, the most obvious might be the haircut. Suddenly, it seems, everyone in America has very long hair: men, women, pleasantly androgynous children. The question is whether regular haircuts will become a thing of the past, like jeans and handshakes, or if – post-pandemic and on par with rapidly rebounding businesses like movie theatres – hairdressers experience a boom.
So I finally made an appointment with one of the many enterprising hairdressers who have pivoted to at-home cuts. I wondered if I would miss the accoutrements of the salon: the slippery black robe, fashion magazines from three seasons ago, a chorus of hairdryers and the question, “So, doing anything fun tonight?”
I had been dreading the conversation. Vivian seemed lovely, but it had been so long since I had interacted in person for an extended period with anyone outside my family. Small talk doesn’t come easy these days. It was a portable, weighted blanket, a ballast against tidal waves of terrible news and February’s freezing rain.
