He cut my hair in a very different style. He turned my face away from the mirror and brought up the electric machine (instead of the scissors normally used here also) and ploughed right in. Other guys were geeting their hair cut upto only a few millimeter long and same length everywhere. He never used any scissors. Even tapered my mustache into a thin drooping one.
