I can't see shit without my glasses. The person in the mirror getting their haircut is just a flesh colored blob.

When they finish up and I put my glasses back on, it's a surprise every time.

    I'm the same way. They always ask midway through how it's looking and I just say it's looking great. I've gotten some funky cuts and some really good cuts that weren't what I was going for.

    My wife (not a hair stylist) cuts my hair now which makes it extra fun because she just does what she wants and I never know if I'm getting a mullet or a buzz cut.

    I used to be like this before I got my eyes zapped. I would just close my eyes because I couldn't see shit anyway and not having them on was overstimulating.

    For years after some guy in a back alley wielding a laser pointer fixed my eyes, I would still find myself closing them during a hair cut.

    I scrolled away from this post and scrolled back to make this comment because i couldn't get the image of you sitting in a hairdressers with your eyes screwed shut like you're about to get hit by an oncoming train out of my head.

    I started wearing contacts to the barber because of this. It's really the only time I wear them because they irritate my eyes way more than they did when I was a kid. Can barely keep them in for four hours before my eyes are screaming for oxygen.

    Glad it’s not just me… I wore contacts from the time I was 18 through my mid-20s. I went back to glasses full time until about a year ago. I’m in my mid-40s now… and man those damn things are hard to wear now.
