I wandered into a Barbershop where a man introduced himself as. "R.C the Barber of course." Two customers eventually came in and he barely acknowledged them. Neither customer seemed uncomfortable with that. I soon learned it was because R.C had been cutting their hair for over 7 years. Talking was unnecessary. R.C wouldn't let me leave without giving me a hair lesson. He pulled me over and began to explain how he was cutting each customers hair. The only thing I remember is, "when finishing, flip the wrist and pretend you're painting a barn. Trust me now, I am an expert." I asked how he knew he was an expert. “It’s when customers keep coming back for your service even when you know they don’t like you.” He handed me his business card before I left and made me promise to return again. I don't know when that will be, but I surely hope it is soon.
