Hoya Hair: Yes, Hoya Hair!
In case the countless requests to DOCUMENT YOUR LUNCH aren't enough to let you in on the secret, the dog days of summer are officially upon us and your intrepid editors are desperately seeking new and entertaining ways to make the day pass.
It doesn't take a brain surgeon to realize that our ultimate haircut belongs to none other than Pauly D and we enjoyed learning that Vinny and Ron Ron had to go to a "hood barber" for a proper cut. This begs the question - what's it take to find a good barber and what's been the best/most entertaining hair in Hoya Land?
Take a look at the cuts after the Jump
Georgetown basketball has run the gamut from the ruthlessly imposing shaved head of Michael Graham, to classics like Allen Iverson's fade, the Roy Hibbert mini fro, Jeff Green's braids (these photos are ruthlessly tough to find), and even Esherick's combover. In short, Georgetown has brought it strong but recent years have seen opponents make a comeback with comical 'dos, beginning with the Syracuse twins, Andy Rautins and Eric Devendorf and culminating with the most discussed haircut in the Verizon Center, the Mt. St. Mary's Kid N Play tribute.
Hair is such an important topic that Jason Clark took to Twitter to announce his plans:
Bout to hit this barbershop wit my man 100grand @Simsity30
I don't know how they select their shop but I have requirements: a barber pole out front and 'magazines for men' in the waiting area. I've found that this combo ensures the place caters to men. CasualHoya takes a different approach and favors a salon where he gets some sort of massage. Not surprisingly, Jeff Green's Dad is also a salon man. LordNick and Hire Esherick are slobs and prefer to go shaggy.
This leaves a 2 part question for you, loyal reader: what haircut stands out most in your mind and what do you look for in a barbershop (or beauty salon if we haven't frightened the women away yet)?

I used to prefer the $15 cut at a Russian barbershop in NYC
Now I prefer to pay $33 and get my scalp and hands massaged while staring at live versions of the images I was looking at in Maxim.
Casually.
Not surprisingly, Jeff Green's Dad is also a salon man
What the hell is that, man?
I'm not actually Jeff Green's Dad
Sorry, buddy
In your defense, I know you endorse men’s magazines

last night i was told by two gals
that our casual headbands are not in fact headbands, they are sweatbands.
IS THIS TRUE?!?!?!
Good talk.
Casual Hoya
Yes and No
Headband typically refers to decorative bands that girls wear in their hair to hide the fact that their hair is greasy or because they are lazy or have bad taste.
Sweatbands are headbands that are used for working out. The Casual variety are bands that go around your head, so they are technically headbands, but most people would associate them more with the type you wear to work out and play sports, not to make a fashion statement.

I still go pretty cheap
I go to a place between Courthouse and Clarendon. They’re never busy. It;s one of those places where I know it’s a barbershop, but I’ll be damned if I’ve ever internalized the name. It’s under the bartending school by the Subway
Why so Syracuse?
Always Creative with the Names
That would be the Claren-Court Barbershop I believe.
and Delhi Dhaba should be your landmark, not Subway, disgraceful.

cheapest haircut in gtown
Nice Chinese family-owned place on Wisconsin Ave – $20+tip, very nice people. Went there through my time on campus, still go now when I can.
I can have oodles of charm when I want to.
the one in the "mall" above Rosslyn station
$16 + tip…Vietnamese crew I believe…alway a curious DVD playing, and generous with the head massages. Mine is a simple near-buzz, so I don’t know how they handle anything more complex.
KBE
Bought a pair of clippers two years ago
Best $25 I ever spent. Short hair is the best
Manley Field House is officially closed!
Jose the Barber in International Square
Stop by on my way through from Farragut West in the morning to see if he’s available lunchtime/afternoon.
$30 w. tip, but excellent haircut with scalp massage and straight razor shaving of sideburns and back of the neck to clean things up.
Hey! Hey! Hoya Saxa!
