Unless people use their genitals to cut hair, the cutter's gender is not relevant.
Unless, of course, the customer has issues.
. . . Hmmm
Now I am visualizing each gender trying to hold the scissors with. . . . Oh never mind.

Yhabpo,
If you were injured in a car accident, would you have a problem with a female surgeon operating on you? Or if a transfusion was necessary, would you object to receiving a woman's blood? These women would be saving your life.
If a woman can perform surgery, why not cut hair?

I'd have no trouble with either of those two and I have never indicated that it would be so. The problem isn't so much as cutting hair, but concerns facial hair. No man should see a women mending facial hair. Should men sell brassieres? Should they fit them too? Some things are strictly gender specific. Where I come from this is a fancy word for charging way to much for cutting some hair. He comes with his equipment in a bag, we pick a chair, and he cuts my hair in the privacy of my home. It's not fancy, nor is it expensive.

These days I have my hair cut every three years, not at a barber, at a great clips. I've been doing this for about 20 years now. Prior to that I used to go to a barber.
I wouldn't be comfortable with a female barber. I'm perfectly comfortable with a female hairstylist. A barbershop is like a club, where men talk about things they wouldn't discuss with their spouse. It's a very macho thing. Plus you can smoke at some barbershops if you're the smoking type.

So he arrives with sheep shears and a mixing bowl. I guess it would be cheap.

Actually
Today for the first time ever a non-professional cut my hair.
I bought a cutter at Costco and my SO will do it from now on.
I don't even tip him.

In medical school I had a huge crush on the gorgeous woman that cut my hair. I'd get nervous before going in for the haircut. Sweaty palms and all. First she'd shampoo my hair. She'd massage my scalp in a way that would almost make me pass out. Then she would gently dry my hair with a towel. Through all of this, I'd be right up near her breasts as she made small talk. Her perfume drove me crazy. Just a hint of the most passionate of scents...
Then she'd start cutting my hair...her breasts right there the entire time.
By the time she asked me if I was satisfied with the haircut well, frankly, she could have scalped me and I'd have said "HE** yes" as the drool ran down my chin...

YHAP, are you for real? What in tarnation is a commoner's barber?
A man selling sanitary napkins? Like the checkout guy at Walmart? Hate to break it to you, but if you live on this continent, it happens all the time. :rolleyes:

This is a something that honestly had never occured to me as being a problem for anyone.

Please censor me, please!!! I'm an adrenaline junkie and this would be the ultimate of thrills.
OK, so I've had a few beers.

I remember getting a haircut from this cute guy.
His pants showed a bulge.
It drove me crazy.
Okay moderators.
So, is Johnmoonlight's talk about her breasts or my post about an unnamed bulge in his pants obscene?
Straight or gay?
Double standards, here we come again.
What kind of "family forum" do we want here folks?

Kenny, I don't think the moderator will step in unless you start a new thread to "name that bulge" .  hey... it MIGHT be about that 1944 Christmas battle. Bob

Between johnmoonlight's and Tom's posts, I have been correct to discern a sexual connotation to female barbers. Another support for my claim is that a "barbershop" for men but staffed only by women is usually a bordello.
I'm glad some people here has agreed with me. I'll consider my encounter as an unfortunate occurrence. I won't shy away from "public" barbershops.

Yah,
What's the difference between a woman cutting your hair and cutting your beard?
Do you feel one is different than the other.

I want to be spanked sooooo badly...pleeeeease!
Should I be more naughty or do you think this qualifies Kenny?

Women have hair, but not beards.
