"Haircut" is a short story by American writer Ring Lardner, first published in 1925. It is told from the perspective of a loquacious barber as he recounts the story of a town prankster named Jim Kendall.
The story is a bleak satire on warped small-town morality and considered Lardner’s most famous work outside of sports writing.
