Mike had been a barber for the past five years. When
he decided to open his own shop he found the rent to
much. Then his friend Mark who owned a bar offered him
some space in his bar. Mike took up the offering
figuring it was a unique way to give haircuts. His
business took with hair flying. He was amazed at the
number of patrons who were eager to get haircuts.
Especially after a few drinks at the bar.
On any given
night he found himself buzzing head after head and
even indulging in giving headshaves to those who were
willing. Mike set his rates well below the norm
barbers usually charged since he could make enough in
six nights to earn a decent wage.
He was amazed at the
number of guys who were willing to sacrifice their
hair after a game of pool and a few rounds of beer. He
gained quite a reputation on the beach scene as the
BAR BARBER. People began coming in not to just get
haircuts especially headshaves. But also to observe
the haircutting. Within a year Mark had to expand on
account of the business Mike was drawing.
Saturday
nights became a haircut/head shaving challenge. Anyone
who was willing to take the challenge could get a if
they lost in a round of pool or darts. At times it was
almost as if guys would deliberlately loose just to
get their heads shaved. A patron would come in with a
full head of hair and end up shaved bald. Even Mark
and his male bartenders adopted the bald look and Mike
kept his shaved as well.Mark changed the name of his
bar to BALDIES and found it increased his business
five fold. Business boomed and both Mike and Mark were
thrilled. The hair would come off every Saturday.
Guys
were lining up to have a few beers or whatever and
sacrifice their long hair.The floor would be covered
with a pile of hair very Saturday night. And many of
those who had been shaved by Mike as well as others
who were bald by choice would have their heads shaved
by Mike on a regular basis.Almost every guy who came
into BALDIES at one point would get a haircut. But not
a head shave, for there were those who would not be
willing to get their heads shaved.Although, Mike's
reputation for giving great headshaves made him most popular.
