'Long Hair For Men Is On The Way Out' "Long hair for me," says barber Dominic Dascola, "is on the way out. The trend is to a shorter-styled cut, making the hair easier to keep clean and combed." Illustrating "the trend" is John Pickard, 126 Westover, surrendering a four-year growth. Pickard said he decided on a shorter haircut "just to see what it would look like" and because "shorter hair would be an asset in obtaining a job." (Ann Arbor News Photos By Cecil Lockard)
