Dear Jack: Cutting Out the Perm after Nearly 2 Years

15 years, 4 months.

Dear Jack,

Shortly after we moved here to Alabama nearly two years ago, you decided to get a perm- and you having been going back to get new ones, every several months to maintain this look.

But you have decided that now the time has come for you to transition to your more naturally straight hair again. You did some research and learned that there is a certain barber in town that has been cutting your friends’ hair, so you scheduled the appointment yourself on your phone and I took you there.

And about a week later, your Uncle Andrew booked an appointment there- and then I did the following week.

Look what you started!

Love,

Daddy

Dear Jack: You Now Join Me at the Actual Barbershop

12 years, 7 months.

Dear Jack,

When it comes to getting our haircuts, you and I have always done things together.

Back when you were a toddler, I buzzed off your hair myself, as I did the same on mine.

For most of your life though, we would go to Great Clips together.

But recently, I decided I was worth it: It was time for me to start going to an actual barber.

It was no surprise to me when Mommy told me that you wanted to start going with me to my personal barber, Leo.

You are so proud to be going to the real deal now.

Love,

Daddy
