Hey! we want to see the front too ;-). You would think you could get a good flat top some where near folsom, or Dore Alley, eh? hehe. I feel your pain. last week I was in Seattle and needed a new flat top. I was headed to a barbershop that had cut my hair 4 weeks earlier. I had never been there but my ex-boyfriend took me there. I got the most perfect flat top in 10 minutes. As I was headed to the barber shop this time, my Buddy J.D. calls me. "I'm headed to the barber" I say. "oh, you don't trust me to cut your hair?" he replies. While I trust him with my life after only knowing him a month, I told him how my hair grows in a wierd spiral pattern and lays down kinda flat so it's VERY hard to cut into a flat top if you don't know what you are doing. He cuts his boyfriend's hair and also their roommates, and has been using the clippers on himself for years. I go to the barber shop. There is a different barber there this time (the place is tiny) and he says 'sure, flat top. no problem'. Then proceeds to give me a HIGH AND TIGHT! Fuck I was pissed. I show up at J.D.'s place and curse him for jinxing my hair cut. But they all said it looked just fine. But next time I'll let him do it. Besides, if he cuts my hair, we both get to have our shirts off! ;-) Good Luck! And DON'T GET RID OF THE FLAT TOP!
