Back in the early sixties for me.

Got one Richard. I'm about due for another haircut this week too.
When I was a kid, we used to think only effeminate boys went to hair dressers. My barber has always been the manliest old fashioned barber in the state. He cut the hair of military since he was old enough to enlist in the army. He started cutting hair of the neighbors as a kid. He was cutting hair of the little Italian town long before he had a license. Later he cut the hair of local celebrities and football and basketball teams. He kept it up all his life with a great reputation. I should finish writing a book about him. The biography should have a photo of his barber pole on the cover.
