When you find a curious looking barber shop in an unusual place and figure you might get an interesting haircut for a reasonable price there. This is generally more fun for people like me with thick hair and those that aren't worried about thinning hair, a bald spot, or a receding hairline. Having thick hair makes a hot day much hotter. The only standard of success for an adventure cut is that your hair is shorter and cooler at the end of the process.
