A Brief History of All Things Us

It all started with a dream. The dream of a doe-eyed, baby faced adolescent boy who aspired to one day share his love of all things hairy with the world through a mediocre mustache based magazine. One etymology project, four staff members, and five days later, Handlebar Magazine was born. So sit back and shave your worries for later. It's time for the hairy truth.

What We're Hating: Awkward Questions from the Stylist



We've all had the experience of sitting in the uncomfortable chair and having a stranger run their fingers through our hair; the uncomfortableness of the situation is only elevated by the endless list of personal questions most hairdressers feel obligated to vocalize. On the awkward scale, Angela (my hairdresser) is notch below my dentist questioning me with his fingers in my mouth. She’s asked me the same questions since I began visiting her in seventh grade, determined to get to know me in thirty minute’s time. I appreciate the gesture, but would prefer knowing she’s paying attention to my long, unmanageable hair.
