How it's used
This expression specifically emphasizes the completion of the haircutting process rather than the act of going to the barber. It is a very casual, slightly old-fashioned term that is more commonly heard among older generations or in traditional barbershops. Younger speakers often prefer using 剪頭髮 instead.
Examples
I've finished my haircut, I'm ready to head out.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the verb 飛, which can also mean to skip or to drive fast. The inclusion of the aspect marker 好 is essential to indicate the completion of the action.
