"Ask for recommendations. Check with your boys and family members to see who they have cut their hair -if their hair looks good. Once you visit the barber, don't be afraid to tell them how you want your hair cut. Speak up! Look around to decide about the cleanliness of the shop and barber. A place that sweeps the floor after each cut and disinfects instruments after each client is a good sign. Change barbers if needed. If you are unhappy with how the barber cuts your hair, keep looking. A barber is like a tailor for your face."
