does ‘get a haircut’ have other meanings?

i read this sentence ‘ hope someone never gets a haircut’. I know the ‘get a haircut’ literally refers to the action of cutting hair, but does it have other meaning when used in the slang or in other situations? or the whole sentence has any specific meaning?

many thanks for ur answer.

The only other reference I could think of might be to Sampson from the Bible.

Samson

Israelite warrior hero of the Old Testament Book of Judges. His mother had been told by an angel that she would bear a son whose life would be dedicated to God and whose hair must never be cut. Samson performed many powerful acts, including slaying a lion and moving the gates of Gaza. When he revealed to a Philistine woman, Delilah, that his hair was the source of his strength, she shaved his head while he was sleeping, leaving him powerless. He was blinded and enslaved by the Philistines, but later his strength was restored and he pulled down the pillars of a temple where 3,000 Philistines had gathered, killing them and himself.

In this sense ‘hope someone never gets a haircut’ may mean ‘hopes that he never loses his extraordinary abilities’

I suppose it depends in what context it is being used. But reading it like that , off the bat it seems to suggest the hope that someone doesn’t change, particularly the rebel in them/not following the norm.

You know, I’ve seen a lot of obscure references to sex, among them, “Peel me a grape, Beulah.” But I have never encountered that one, and the context certainly doesn’t lead me in that direction.

I’m blank, boss.
