    Not a Barber but my Barber loves me, and I him. You are a posable manequin meant to hold a position. They will gently guide your head to the desired position whenever a change is required. Gently acquiesce. Tip generously.

      This. They apply light pressure so you know which axis to move your head in.

      Also, I go to a guy that still only charges under $20 for a really good haircut. I give him double his fee, because he’s under charging for his time and skill.

        I always tip well too. The gal who does my hair charges $40 and I usually tip that same amount. She also doesn’t not charge me extra for a cut just because I’m a woman, which is so extremely awesome.

        It always pisses me off when stylists charge more for women’s cuts, even when we have short hair. So dumb.

          Long hair is easier to cut than short hair. You can give someone with butt length hair a trim down to shoulder length in two minutes.

            Which is crazy that women pay more for any haircut, long or short.

            I don’t even go to locations that charge more for women anymore. I check pricing before I go anywhere.
