My main problem is that I don’t really care about my hair, so when the barber asks me what I want my only answer is “I don’t know. The same but shorter?” Which doesn’t actually help the poor guy because I’ll ignore my need for a haircut for half a year at a time.
1000%, I’d never trust a straight man with my hair. That being said I usually just end up going to women-owned salons, so that’d be your real competition.
I kinda hate going to the barbers because the conversation will always spin towards sports or women and I’m not interested in either.

This is literally the exact perfect situation to VANCE-IT with a confident “Just whatever makes sense.”
There’s a tangible market for gay barbers, you say?

Aren’t most hairdressers/barbers gay? I do not trust heterosexual barbers any more than I trust women handling my hair.
I prefer women handling my hair. I’d rather have their opinion on it than a man.
Most of mine have been straight or at least temporarily closeted and they’ve been decent.
To be fair there is a really cool LGBT hairdressers not far from me! I go there when I can, but it’s hard to get an appointment sometimes.
Annoyingly I really like how the ‘regular’ barbers do my hair. But there’s only so much chat about poker and clubbing in Ibiza that I can handle :'3
I’ve been getting ladies to cut my hair for a while now. The conversations are a lot better I feel.
