I was in Europe recently and I noticed that all the women and men had such elegant hair! So I got mine cut. Wow! It is noticeably different than any haircut I have ever got in the US. My theory is that what is in the European stylists hands is very different than in the US, probably due to the centuries old high artistic culture.
Hypothetically speaking, if there were European stylists here in the US that would give you an elegant cut at about the same price that you normally pay would you try it?
No. I mean a precision cut that makes a man look like a gentleman, not a tough guy!
You see, in Europe they cut men's hair very, very short HOWEVER it is cut in a way that makes it look very different than the "crew cuts" in the US. I saw a barber in Europe pain stakingly cutting a man's hair who had very little hair left. The end result was not just a short cut but the look of an elegant gentleman. I don't know exactly how they do it but they do. They also take great pride in their work, something in the US is not held to such a standard.
Not sure I would agree with that statement, unless you're talking about places like Great Clips or Hair Cuttery.
Really, the stylist I had in Europe took about 20 minutes just to cut around my ears! It was all done very precisely and with great care. I have never seen such diligence and attention to detail in the US. I'm not saying the US is bad; it's just that there is no culture of complete thoroughness like there is in Europe.

Yeah, I'm sure that's it. Michelangelos with scissors.

I have had an elderly German barber cut and high light my hair while we lived in Alabama.
What do you know about US cosmetology standards for barbers and cosmetologists? The good ones charge just as they do elsewhere.
