Just after graduating from college I was upset that I could not find an actual barber, they all called themselves stylists and charged $15 for a $3 hair cut. Started cutting my own hair. The only hassle was cleaning up after. Saw TV commercial for a Flowbee (trimmer that hooks up to a vacuum cleaner) got one and have been using it ever since.
While still in HS I did find a barber in the basement of a seedy hotel in downtown OKC with a topless shampoo girl.
