No I don't mean Z3 Drivers!! I actually mean hairdressers. Having moved South I contemplated looking to get my haircut, but not finding anywhere I didn't bother. So popped down to the local salon today as it had reached crisis point as I had a flock of seagulls cut everytime I had a shower.

3 on the sides and I wear it messed up on top said I.

In order to wear it messed up on top I should actually have some hair left to mess up!!

A little more off and I could be an extra for full metal jacket!!

The other half's going to kill me. To top it all off my head's freezing now!!!

local salon


That's where you went wrong I'm afraid. If you want a Bentley car, you must go to a Bentley dealer. Same thing with haircuts.

Local salons only know how to do one sort of haircut in my opinion, and as such I feel more than happy spending alot more money and going to a very good "stylist's".

Having said that, they still were taking the mick a bit by the sound of it!! Do what you can with it, wait 2 weeks, and all will be fine again!

Speaking of which, I'm getting a restyle in 2 hours.....wish me luck (gulp)

I'm not close to tears. Just cold and feeling a little bald on top. I'm also going to get loads of stick from minimax if I see him this weekend!

It was pretty damn expensive as far as haircuts go, for a short back and sides. And now a short on top. At least it means an extra 2 weeks without another of the damn things.

I never get the deal I want at the hairdressers so I've just resorted to letting it grow a bit longer, occasionally having it cut back from time to time (never longer than the top of the neck but not a Marines-style buzz-cut atrocity that I used to end up with when I was younger). Looks better slightly longer anyway, if it's short and the sides are shaved then it just tends to grow at awkward angles for a while.

My Mum's always saying 'why don't you go somewhere 'trendy' to get your hair done'. Unfortunately I know the sort of places she means and I'd end up looking like the only gay in the village, so, err, no!

thats unfortunate

I got mine cut today in a proper barbers who still uses cut-throat razors and can do any style of hair you choose. All top lads as well

Amusingly my Grandad used to get his hair cut there when he worked in the town, as did my dad and now I do

Sounds like mine. They also have a subscription to all the car mags (except Lax Power, Kevs, Thrashed Car etc) so you've at least got something to flick through when you're waiting.

LOL! Bang on!!!

I was about to ask what a haircut was, surely you go to Boots buy some clippers and buzz routinely every two weeks!

Easy...!

4 on top, 2 on the back and sides. Job done.

Last time I had my hair done, I left the missus wandering round the shops, when I got out I rang her. She was still in the first shop and asked me if they were to busy to fit me in

you are not the only gay in the village i am, but seriously i would suggest toni and gay up next to mc donalds at the minster. Theres a young gay i mean guy called matt (or was) who is not gay who will give you a good cut for circa £26 and you dont have to have a meaningless conversation with a bit of totty!

Or you could use my method of getting drunk and getting your friends to cut it with some scissors and a razor. That was ing terrible, my parents didn't even recognise me!!

I thought I had better get proof of the disaster that happened to my head!

Took this photo in Toronto a few years ago.

The advert doesn't inspire much confidence does it?

No, point is, I'm not gay and don't want to look it either. And I'm not paying £26 for a haircut either! I've seen the results of £26 and everyone comes out looking like they had a bit of gel and blonde dye applied, then got stuck sideways into a wind tunnel, and it only goes with that 'pre-ripped jeans, colourful trainers, lurid T-shirt with '85 All Stars' or something written on it and a scarf that probably came from your grandma' look. And I don't like that look.

Please tell that to the hairresser.
