My husband and I recently moved here and he’s struggling to find anywhere to cut his shoulder length curly hair.

Just left my previous job about 5 months ago. My new job is not going as I hoped and I realize my last job and company was way better and what I actually wanted. I learned a lot where I’m at now and think it would still benefit me if I went back. I left in good standing and they said if you ever want to come back just reach out. (Maybe as a nice gesture but idk) What should I do? Give it more time? Talk to my old boss after in a casual setting to discuss his thoughts on my professional career?
