Refusing a Barber

t depends on each salon and barbers. I lived in Fairford Leys, Aylesbury and the ladies at Destiny were very, very delightful. It was £19 for a full head wk experience, often even the work experience girl would rub your arms and hands down. As a mechanic it was a much required pampering service, an essential if you like.
Salons are better for me for the below reasons;
- Non rushed service (no queue of doll scroungers with skin heads waiting behind you)
- Full head, neck and shoulder massage by an attractive lady
- No-one asks me if I watched 'the game' or any other type of hooligans sport
- Radio 1, or even worse, Kiss FM is never played (unless you attend a poverty spec salon on a council estate)
- Text based reminder service a day before your appointment is due
My current salon is bolted on the side of a barbers and I pay £14 for the salon cut which lasts 45 minutes, as opposed to the barbers cut that is £11 that lasts about 15 minutes. It's not as good as Destiny, but as soon as I am employed again I shall return there without a doubt.
If they were golf courses, barbers would be pitch and putt and salons would be the invitation only courses with complimentary spa facilities on site.
I don't see it taking 45 minutes over 15 minutes as being a plus point!! I'd rather pay more and be out quicker if that was the choice.Salons are better for me for the below reasons;

Also, why are you being insulting about doll scroungers, when you seem to be one yourself

I've started going to a proper gentlemen's barber here in Munich. Absolutely fantastic place and they even provide the customers with scotch. A wet shave and haircut is about €70 which doesn't seem too bad.
I pay £10 once every four years for a massive pack of Japanese razor blades.WTAF!

I can't be doing with spending more time than needed on stuff like this. In out, bish bash bosh.
Wife does mine every so often with a number 4 blade,job done...although it does look like a badger has been run over on the floor afterwards
Last time I went to a hairdresser the girl washing my hair kept rubbing her boobs in my face,which was nice,obviously,and the hairdresser suggested I got grey tints in my hair...I was 23 FFS!!!!

I'm absolutely terrible at the barbers!! Embarrassingly enough I've caused many cold silences - like when they keep going over and over the same bit making it shorter and shorter I stop them and explain If they say how much do you want off, I say yep that much it means don't fking cut that bit again!!
I've sat in the chair cape around me and tried to describe what I want and the bird mentioned shaving me bald and I got straight up out of the frigging chair took cape off and asked to wait for someone else to do it.
I went to a new salon that had opened down the road because there was a hottie working in there. Gone in sat down the hottie wasn't cutting hair this butch Russian bird was, but hottie sat down next to me and made conversation/distracted me. Basically I got a fking terrible haircut, too short (so it stood up randomly) cut around the back of my ears like I had Spock ears!!! I was sitting in the chair fuming but thought hey she's hot it'll grow out. I got home washed it and it IMO I looked like a I had lost a bet.
I know mental already but it gets worse - I couldn't leave it like that so I drove back down to the shop and went in and caused a scene. I asked the Russian to explain her actions - using hottie as proof to what I had asked for in the pre butcher session before getting an answer Russian said to sit in the chair and she'll fix it !?!!!!?! My reply was are you gonna fking stick it back on!!! I then left.
Story continues about the hottie - my friend girlfriends brother ended up going out with her ( turns out she was mental but a fking awesome ride!! Does dress up and everything (((
I got this guy that does it if he ain't there I don't get it cut as it's getting scarce up there now, too short and it might not have enough to regrow!!

I used to get mine barbered all over number two once a week. £7.
That's until four years ago when I started wet shaving using DE razor and some nice soap.
Since then I have saved myself 52 x 4 x £7 = a shade under £1500!!
Although I don't get boobs in my face these days.
£1500 divided by average cost of a call-girl = plenty boobies!!That's until four years ago when I started wet shaving using DE razor and some nice soap.

You just need to man up OP.
I remember years ago my Dad used to go to the same barber for years, then one time the barber cut his hair badly (he wasn't a brilliant barber anyway). Instead of blending it in shorter at the sides, my Dad ended up with steps on the sides of his head. We ripped the piss mercilessly whilst he maintained it was fine, but when he went for his next cut he told the barber: "same as usual, but if you cut steps in it this time I'll push you down the bds".

Yeah, that is the downside of having kids.That's until four years ago when I started wet shaving using DE razor and some nice soap.

For a second there I thought you said seventy euro!
That's what I thought he said too!
A barbers I go to, 2 out of the 3 are useless. I've learnt my lesson enough times giving them chances hoping they will do a decent cut this time.
The amount of st haircuts they dish out on a daily basis!
A girl I went to school with recently opened a salon not far from where I live, so I used to get my hair cut there as I trusted her and saw her work, and it was good and she stopped me looking like a mountain goat that had been forgotten for 2 years, so she did a good enough job.
Then this hottie started and first time I asked for the usual cut, she cut my hair well, and trimmed my beard back (as I asked) and I really liked the look, and when it came to finish, I asked how much I owed, she said 15, or 10 if I get your number "for promo offers" so duly gave my number away and got some rather lovely personal haircuts...
