I imagine the beard helps - that's a new release for 2020, here's what I looked like without the beard and with the hair down to a 4 (was 19 at the time too and didn't have to wear glasses at this point, mind)



Must be said Mum wasn't particularly happy about it when we were on a video call laugh
Holty, grow the beard back ASAP, you look like William Hague without it.

I confess this was pre covid and subsequent attempts have been better.

I walked into a barbers with a hat on and asked him to sort it out (they didn't bat an eyelid or laugh much), this option is obviously not available now.

Be careful out there folks.

Let the a fiance’s/girlfriends of some close friends and my wife have a crack at doing mine last night after we’d had a few bottles of red/beers.

Was ok, if a little tarmac driveway, as they didn’t have the confidence to take more than a few MM off the top. Went to tidy it this morning now I’m back and sober but didn’t check the number for the last touch up, put the “1 on instead of the “5 didn’t check and then went for it...

Oops...

No chance I was getting just the Mrs to do it!

Needed the booze jacket to allow it to happen too!

Our hairdressers reopened in Luxembourg today, since we've been at home for 8 weeks and the curve has been crushed, not just flattened.... My hair is now NOT the longest it's been for 10 years as it was. smile


(Salons have strict rules on using sanitiser, mask wearing, spacing (every other seat in use), and alternate hair washing sinks in use, and the staff have to clean everything after every use before the next client is seated.)

My son, resident in Germany for circa 35 years, and now a German citizen, said that his barber has reopened, and he went there with his younger son, aged 19.
There were half a dozen guys queuing outside, all at two metres apart, so he went home and called them, in the hope of making an appointment.
The barber asked if he was kidding, he was beating them off with clubs, so my German daughter-in-law called her hairdresser, and got him an appointment there.
He said that the female hairdresser quoted €27 for a cut and blow dry, whereas the guy he usually goes to charges €13, but my kid tips him €2 on top.
He’s not bothered about the €27, he needs a haircut, he said that if she does a good job, and doesn’t talk about football, he’ll give her €30, and keep her number.

For a number of years I have enviously admired Vince Fox's magnificent hair. I now have long hair like an actual girl, and hair cuts have been one first-world pandemic problem that I have not shared.

Nicky’s got the flavour now, she charged up the clippers and steered me out to the kitchen balcony, all I’ve got to do now is teach her how to use a Gillette Turbo Mach 3 on my boat race.

My ex wife has informed me that as she cannot get a hairdressers appointment until late May, that I have to give her a haircut myself. I suspect she'll be a prime candidate for this thread once I've finished! We get on well as our little boy needs a fair bit of care, but I fear I'll be banished once I've inevitably fked it up.
Anyone else stupid enough to have agreed to cut their other halves (or ex other halves)hair?
My hair's not been touched since October and I feel I should be carrying a basketball everywhere.

I cut Mrs 29's hair, I'm getting quite good at it now, especially as I cut my own, I can do fades and everything! Luckily her hair is quite short, so it's a bit like doing a mans hair, I wouldn't be as confident with lots of long flowing locks.

She has actually had compliments off people that it looks good so that's good enough for me, I've said I'll give it another trim tonight actually. Weirdly I've had a few ex's who were hairdressers so I know more than I probably should about cutting womens hair.

I am told there are many hairdressers working around these parts. But can I find one?!?!? Nope...

I had one like that when I was a kid (never did work out which relative didn't understand "I only want Lego Technic"), is there is a lever on the back of the head to make the eyes move left to right?
