unfortunately i don't... barber and trans friendly aren't terms you usually hear together. i'm just outside of the city limits (oak park area) and the barbers around here are very old school. is there a particular reason why you want to go to one?

i know.. but i am pre-t and have a femme face shape. if i go to a salon not only will it be three times the price but it will be a more effeminate cut just by virtue of the fact that i'm read as female no matter how male i present. i was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions i havent had a cut in almost a year and i went from mohawk to mullet hawk.  :(
