Barber Disciplines Kids By Giving Them Old-Man Haircuts
This is priceless.
An Atlanta barber disciplines misbehaving kids by giving them old-man haircuts.
Looking to teach your misbehaving children a lesson? Well, a barbershop in Snellville, Atlanta, seems to have hit upon the perfect solution – old-man haircuts that make kids look like they are balding.
Aptly named the ‘Benjamin Button Special’, the haircut involves shaving the crown of the head and leaving the sides long to make them resemble a balding elderly person. The service is offered free of charge three times a week by Russell Fredrick and his team at their suburban salon A-1 Kutz.
Fredrick, co-owner of A-1 Kutz, said that he realized the potential of the technique after he tried it on his own 12-year-old son, Rushawn. He said that Rushawn’s grades, which were quite low, had “dramatically skyrocketed” after Fredrick gave him an ‘old-man haircut’. Ever since he started advertising the service, Fredrick, 34, said that one parent has tried it out. But ever since he posted ‘before’ and ‘after’ pictures of his ‘Benjamin Button’ haircu online, several others parents have displayed interest. The images have been shared many times over on Facebook and Instagram.
According to Fredrick, reactions to the photographs have mostly been positive. Supporters say that it is the perfect punishment for children who want to act grown up. “There are a few people that are saying it’s emotional abuse; but on average, everyone is applauding the mother that brought the child in – and applauding me as well,” Fredrick said.
He also mentioned that the haircut is a harmless technique to discipline children, instead of resorting to spanking and other painful methods.

Joke Of The Day: The Barber
 |
A guy stuck his head into a barber shop and asked, “How long before I can get a haircut?” The barber looked around the shop full of customers and said, “About 2 hours.” The guy left.
A few days later the same guy stuck his head in the door and asked, “How long before I can get a haircut?” The barber looked around at the shop and said, “About 3 hours.” The guy left. A week later the same guy stuck his head in the shop and asked, “How long before I can get a haircut?” The barber looked around the shop and said, “About an hour and half.” The guy left. The barber turned to a friend and said, “Hey, Bill, do me a favor. Follow that guy and see where he goes. He keeps asking how long he has to wait for a haircut, but then he doesn’t ever come back.” A little while later, Bill returned to the shop, laughing hysterically. The barber asked, “So where does that guy go when he leaves?” Bill looked up, tears in his eyes and said, “Your house!” |
