Monochrome Monday: CUT



A boy has his hair cut by a barber practicing his trade in an outdoors community salon beside the Pasig River.

I once had a barber who cut my hair once every three weeks since I was three years old until I was 25. When we moved from my hometown to a metropolitan area some 30kms away, I opted to go have my hair taken care of by barbers in a shopping mall but it has never been the same.

I hope this young one will continue to enjoy the expertise and extra TLC of their local barber.

  1. I haven't had my hair cut by a barber in about 19 years - my wife does it. I wonder how much money that has saved?
