If you are a follower of the TV show Big Bang Theory, you are familiar with the quirky character Dr. Sheldon Cooper. In one episode, Sheldon has difficulty with the fact his barber is in a coma and is reluctant to have the nephew cut his hair. The main reason is that Sheldon does not like change and that the nephew does not have access to his Haircut records sent by his mom in Texas.
What brings this up is that my barber of many years has suddenly retired. Suddenly is characterized by no one knowing he retired. Jared went there yesterday, walked in and noticed a different interior set up and two ladies running the shop. He apparently closed shop in Nov. and moved to Utah.
We have ben going to Louis for over 20 years. He was fast, efficient and no one better at a crew cut. The boys never grew their hair out until high school. I could always go there, tell him I wanted the same hair cut, short and I would be out in 15 to 20 minutes. One time he got me out in 10 in time for a funeral. Louis had a large Asian and Hispanic clientele and was a part of Gardena. He would not be the town gossip, but the resource for new restaurants, and business changes within the community.
Our problem ( myself, #3 son and my brother in law) is how do we find another barber? They seem to be a dying breed. They are all hairdressers now. Where do we go for a economical, quick simple haircut with out the shampoo, excessive hair blowing and shoulder massages? As Leonard put it in the BBT episode, my haircut is #3 from the poster from 1946.
Who will be the new keeper my Hair cut records and will they have the poster from 1946?
