Avid 30 Rock fans will realize that the title of this post is a direct quote from none other than Jack Donaghy. And the man has a point.
Too many times I’ve seen a man impeccably dressed, only to have his hair ruin the entire ensemble. You can’t look like a well-put together gentleman with the hair of a 12-year-old. So here are a few tips to get you started down the road of adulthood hair, Jack Donaghy-style:
Find a Barber
Unfortunately, the barbershop has faded into irrelevance as the men in our culture have begun to seek out cheaper, unisex salons. The problem with these places (as I’m sure we’ve all experienced) is that they have a rotating staff — meaning your hair comes out looking differently every time even if you ask for the same thing.
A good barber will get to know you, and more importantly, he’ll get to know your hair. And he’ll know exactly how you want it each time you walk in the door.
For information on how to choose a barber, check out these guides by GQ and The Art of Manliness. I also found TAofM’s Barbershop Locator to be quite helpful.
