Amy McGrath found herself behind enemy lines once again on Thursday when she walked into the Regency Center Supercuts for her monthly trim and shampoo.

McGrath, a Lieutenant Colonel, and first Thursday regular noticed an unfamiliar face getting a trim and Supercuts special gray-blending service. “Walk-ins are welcome, but not flyovers,” Andy Barr said over his hair-covered shoulder.

For future former Congressman Barr, it was his first trip to the supercuts in Regency Center, and potentially his first haircut in Kentucky in the last 10 years. “I tried going to Fantastic Sams, but they won’t turn on The View no matter how many times I asked,” said Barr, “and I need my daily dose of Whoopsi.”

Alexander Miles, McGrath’s regular Supercuts stylist, seated the former fighter pilot across the aisle from Barr as she laughed, “Fantastic Sams? Maybe Pretty Good Sams, but a congressperson should always look their best.”

Miles laughed as McGrath pointed to the wall at which haircut that she wanted and said, “Bet ol’ Andy wishes he could get this one, but his chances are getting THINNER.”

Afterward, the two sat quietly through the awkward setting, yet both received spectacular service and gorgeous haircuts.

McGrath was the first to finish and after making a big show of a healthy 4 dollar tip for her stylist, she decided to try and prove her mettle to Barr by taking a swig of some of Miles’ barbicide. As she walked by a still-seated Barr, she whispered: “Go Big Blue” through the tonic’s burn.

Once McGrath and her staff left, Barr insisted that his barber rewash his hair with “that shampoo that gave women orgasms in the 90s.”

UPDATE: The encounter became even more awkward when, 20 minutes after Barr’s hairstyling experience ended, the two congressional candidates bumped into each other all over again just a few doors down from the Supercuts.

Upon discovering they’re both Maxxinistas, McGrath ran a switchblade comb through her new hairdo and said, “If there’s one thing we can agree on, it’s how to look terrific.”
