Most men in Grundy County have a production occupation, hired by privately owned factories (source: Grundy County’s website). Working overtime in that industry is common, so many customers are looking for the time convenience appeal of having their hair cut for them, plus the professional look expected by employers. After working long hours, having someone to talk to and joke with is a great added benefit. Rusty’s Barber & Style serves this need very well, providing both the haircut along with the humor needed to make a long day end on a good note.

Additionally, those willing to purchase a professional haircut service are, basically, those who don’t trust themselves cutting their own

In Ring Lardner’s short story “Haircut”, the narrator is a straightforward barber, who goes by the name Whitey. The story is about Whitey tells a customer about the well-liked regular at the local barbershop, Jim Kendell. At first the barber makes it seem that Jim is a good old fella, but depending on some people’s views, and on Jim’s actions towards people, they will quickly discover that Jim is a selfish jerk.

It resembled a Parisian café and a classic American home at the same time. It was a refreshing change to all of the stop-and-go coffee shops that are packed in every street crevasse. Ralph's has plenty of seating and the decor makes you feel like you are sitting in RL's kitchen. The contrast of the white marble and dark oak was to die for. Even the staff looked the part with green striped button-downs and khakis with the signature embroidered Ralph's apron.
A salon is not always a pretty and peaceful sight for those working there. At times, a

“I’m black and I’m cursed! God cursed me with terrible hair!” I personally know that trying to manage African American hair can be very difficult because unlike Caucasians black people have a rougher grade of hair. No one really knows why God gave Caucasians fast growing soft hair and black people slow growing rough hair. As a African American female I can testify that my hair doesn’t grow fast and I am a proud “creamy crack “user so therefore the chemicals from relaxers I use makes my hair straight and bouncy. When my relaxer expires and I need to get another put in my hair, my hair gets stiff and the roots of my hair become harder to comb. Hair is one of every human’s main features, women care for their hair and desire to find hairstyles that they believe will be appealing on them and speak for the way they
The practice of improving the beauty of others may seem insignificant to some but for those in process of studying the cosmetology industry take great pride in the work they hope to produce. Hair stylist and nail technicians improve the way people look and feel about oneself to better improve self confidence; cosmetologist strive to do the best they can to achieve the look that their client may be searching for. However, these techniques must be taught thoroughly and without the proper teaching techniques, the upcoming cosmetologist may feel behind and uncertain about their abilities when performing on clients. Without the proper and professional ways of teaching, the student struggle to ever gain success in the business; this business builds only from the repetition of great work and failing to achieve the overall style of the desired look from the client will result in a failing business. The search of finding a successful and up to date school requires more work than one may assume.
“Ready for this one? One lady told me ‘Wow!! He looks really grooooomed!!!’” She stretches out the “oo” sound in the word “groomed” to last several seconds and then throws her head back, cracking herself up. “Okayyyy… I think that’s a good thing??”
In Haircut, the author Ring Lardner, placed his story in a small town where a very known barber, Whitey, is the best source of information on the town. He knows everyone very well, and he knows all the town gossip and all the news (146). The reader can see from the beginning of the story that this barber is not a reliable person, because he cannot be trusted in everything that he is telling to readers.. All the time, the barber is on the side of his friend Jim Kendall, trying to give to him all the benefits of the doubt. In the beginning of the story, barber said: “When he was alive, him and Hod Meyers used to keep this town in an uproar. I bet they was more laughin’ done here than any town, its size in America” (Lardner, 145). He believes that the sense of humor of the two friends is a quality. There is nothing wrong with a person to have a sense of humor, but sometimes Jim’s humor was sarcastic and inappropriate. A good example is that night when Jim, changing his voice as a woman, called the barber and asked him to come to her house and shave her husband who just passed
Immediately I acknowledge that things were differently, this was not your conventional hair salon. It was widely divergent from most places I’ve been to. People didn’t just get their hair cuts, this is where they mingle. I struggled to find a parking spot in a tiny lot just off the highway; minutes went by as I sat in my car waiting for a parking spot. It was 6 minutes later, that a black Cadillac, with nice wheels and tint, backed out and I was finally able to park. The barbershop is located in an area too small to be considered a strip mall-and apparently too small to handle all of its customers' vehicles. Once I found a parking spot, I was ready to begin my observation of the Starz barbershop.
