So I decided it was time for a...haircut!
It's been about five years

I can never seem to smile in a selfie. I am actually quite happy with it. I went to a new place in town and explained what I had in mind. She asked about a photo so I brought up a current picture of Bob Weir. I think she did a good job; it has length and style.

I'm more like 5 weeks. During the pandemic when all the shops were closed I probably went 6 months, then skipped quarantine and found a place in another county that was open and got my hair cut. Long hair is WAY too hot.
That's the before photo right?
As an impending baldy I shave my dome at least twice, usually three or four times a week using a de razor.
It's turned into a bit of a hobby and minor gas situation - my head currently smells like one of The Duke of Edinburgh's (God Rest His Soul) Summer Garden's , allegedly

Looking sharp Gary!
Since we're on the subject, I quit going to my hair stylist of 30 years. I went to a, gulp, barber instead. I hadn't done that since I was a kid. He did a better job for 60% less. It took him 1/3 of the time too. The funny thing is, he has long hair and hasn't had his hair cut in a few years.

Last hair cut I had at a barber shop was awful, and I had to listen to his jibberjabber the whole time.

Christ Gary! You’re not getting a new job are you?

Five years is impressive. I can’t go 5 months.

No, just felt like time for a change.

That seems much less likely to happen, but I have learned to never say never.

I'm doing the opposite, always went to a barber, now I've started going to a beauty parlor. It's exactly twice as much as the barber was and worth it. My daughter cut my hair during the pandemic. When it was over and I went back in, he said he never closed. A friend of my late bro in law's got his barber license, tried a regular barber shop but, could take the politics all day long. He ended up in a salon so, that's where I go now.

You're going to a barber that works out of a beauty salon and charges salon prices?
I've been to my barber twice and I couldn't be happier. My hair cuts at the salon would take a week to not look weird. Barber dude's cut looks good right out of the gate. He doesn't talk politics. I think he plays guitar too. I haven't chatted him up too much.

avuncular to no one
I went from February 2020 to somewhere mid 2021 without a hair cut and was shocked at little my hair grew over that time. Sumfin about the last decade that has not only closed many follicles for business and greatly diminished hair growth...sigh...
Not particularly surprising as I've always struggled to grow and real/significant facial hair.

Barbers around here want to go right to the clippers. They greet you with, "What's your number?" No thanks, I'll pay for the stylist.
