I'll be 70 in Augst and the only discount I get is at the local Turkish barber for when I get my rapidly dwindling mane tamed.

This won't be forever ?

I paid $40.00 for a haircut last month at one of those classy men's salons.  And that was for a "buzz cut"!?

Just let it grow, man :-)

This has been my approach since March 2020 and it's been liberating (and cheap).

Credit Union - Over 55 No service charges and free checks. 
BC Assessment- Home owners grant $1050.  
Local Aquatic Centre 30% 

Just a few I can think of but there is a lot of things and events that still offer senior discounts. 

Offering a seniors discount on software is sort of over the moon. 
Like seniors discounts on appliances or building supplies!

You're so right!  Next time back to my OLD barber.  He only gets $25.00 and that includes the tip.

EDIT-As far as a Senior discount for a DAW?!  I don't see it happening.

No, I don't either.

This is up there with the most ridiculous suggestions ever put forward on here.

For the sake of a couple of coffees a month?

Cue the anguished whines of "I don't like subscriptions" ?

She’s a licensed male barber. Back when she got her license it was far harder to get that license. You still had to learn basic medical and anatomy. Later, they told her she could also get a cosmetology license with a few classes but cosmetologists couldn’t get a barbers license. And yes I was her model for practicing with a straightedge razor. God *****ing help me …

Ditto. No haircut since I retired Nov. 2019. 
My part-time employers don't seem to mind as there are several other men here with hair as long or longer than mine.

I had no idea you needed a license to be a barber. You learn something new everyday.?

I'm remembering some history of the old days, (Sweeney Todd)

When Barbers used to be involved in amputations and these types of things.

Pretty sure that they only do hair cuts these days.

But they are still taught how to recognize certain medical conditions hence the anatomy and light physiology study.

And we're on the Cakewalk forum ... ;) Sorry for the diversion.

Mine doesn't mind either which is great (not that I've been into the office since March 2020!).  I am competing with my son who is aiming to be able to sit on his hair and he's pretty close; mine just goes outwards unless I nail it to my scalp.
