This was Josh's first haircut by Hether, back in 2005. For some reason, I don't have an extensive gallery of pictures with myself and Hether in them.

Over a year ago, I stopped cutting my own hair and started going to a hairstylist. There are huge advantages to both a stylist over a barber, and definitely a stylist over myself, especially with the place I go to.

1. I can make an appointment. No waiting, and it just fits easily into my schedule.
2. It’s (now) less than a five minute drive from my office.
3. Hether, my stylist, washes my hair too, so I’m good to go for my next meeting without going home to shower.
4. It took me about 20-30 minutes to cut my own, including shower and everything. I’m only gone from my office for about 15-20 minutes, total.
5. The price isn’t too far off from a barber.
6. My wife pays for me when she goes in. So technically, I never pay for a haircut anymore.
7. We won’t get into the waxing…

Of course, a disadvantage over cutting my own as home is that I can’t get a haircut in the buff. At least, that’s what Hether told me this morning.
