Get a Better Haircut by Saying You Have an Important Event Next Week.
Knowing barbershop jargon can help you get the haircut you want, but if you want to motivate your hairdresser or stylist, you can mention an important job interview or other upcoming event.
This tip is taken from Life Hacks ( @omglifehacks on Twitter):
It is probably best to use this trick when trying out a new barber shop or barber shop. (Obviously, you shouldn’t do this every time, or your hairdresser will think you are permanently unemployed.) And if you decide to return to the same location, keep in mind that you may have to answer how your interview went. For this reason, perhaps consider using another event such as a big date or a family photo shoot, it will actually happen.
