        i watched a video of a guy getting his hair cut at sports clips. the vibe i get is trying to make an environment for men to get a salon experience (hot towel, shampoo, etc.) without thinking its gay

          Which is funny because old school barber shops were doing massages and hot towels for centuries. It's one of the most masculine traditions. Some old ass Turkish guy or Italian cuts your hear, gives you a straight razor shave, with hot towel, and then you get a massage.

            I get my hair cut at this Turkish place and I come out feeling like a new person, more places should do that

      Sports clips is weird. But years ago, I found it was the best chain to go to for a cheap-ish haircut. They did a pretty good job though and the babers were pretty nice, though they werent flirty or anything. When I moved out of my mostly suburban area though I started going to locally owned barber shops with young barbers. A world of difference and definitely worth the extra 5 dollars to get a haircut.

      I keep a pretty normal Crew cut though so YMMV with more complex cuts

      Hey I've been there.

      There's a lot of different cultural expectations around haircuts. I used to live in Japan where it's totally normal to get a short shoulder massage after a cut (unless there's a huge line), so SportsClips doing that to me didn't surprise me at all.
