^ Love that song!

I didn't mind going to a hair stylist, as long as she was a female. I dated a few of them.
A haircut is very relaxing in the first place. An attractive woman rubbing up against you is just icing on the cake.

A female styling men's hair in days gone by??? Yeah, I believe that if you're talking about a few days gone by, like 2010 or so. Sheesh.
 
....time for a virtual haircut!
When health problems keep them from making it to the barber shop, he brings the barber shop to them.
 
1940's and 50's Barbershops, were a male domain.
The arrival of a female with young children to get haircuts
made the patrons uncomfortable.

Adults, after and before, they had their hair cut, would discuss
sports, politics and lie.
I did not understand, why the adults, after they had received their haircuts stayed in Barbershop?
Why didn't they go home?

The same reason women like beauty parlors. Gotta hang with your own-gender peeps.

When I was a kid, my father cut our hair. I had 3 brothers and 2 sisters. I don't think he cut the girls' hair.

I still recall the chair we sat on.

It had the threaded shaft so you spin in to raise/lower. I don't know why he would bother with the adjustments...it took less than a minute to shave us clean.
