Synopsis:
Joe Timmons, the Smallville barber, is celebrating his 20th anniversary. A contest for free hair cuts is held, and Clark Kent is the winner. Clark’s invulnerable hair cannot be cut, so he stages several accidents to prevent Joe from trying to cut his hair.

Joe begins to suspect that Clark is Superboy, since he cuts everyone in town’s hair. Clark finally shows up for his appointment, and when Joe is about to cut his hair, all of the hair comes off. Clark pretends a childhood illness has left him bald, and he wears a wig. The bald scalp-cover protects Clark’s secret, and Joe now believes he knows why Clark never gets his hair cut.
