I just pop into the barbers twice a year for a quick trim and that keeps me looking presentable. One perk about growing old is that your hair grows a lot slower.
oops.. was that nondecorous?

Re: Hairdressers
I can't believe how much you ladies pay for a cut!!! £40? Even £20? The most I pay is £10, and the least was £5.50 at my mum's sheltered housing complex. A lady goes in once a week. I miss her! Yes, and mum, but...mustn't dwell...Last got it cut in Norwich recently in a line em all up type of shop. Walk in, wait, shuffle down the line of others waiting, and pay £10. Still came away slightly dissatisfied as it's grown out of shape and blows in my face, which I hate.
Had a good one at the top of my road but it just closed. Good cut, and I could go in immediately, or later that day. Was never busy so reckon they didn't make enough.
Annoyingly there is no other female hairdressers around here and to visit my other usual one is a drive away. Yet in the neighbourhood there is an unbelievable amount of gents' barbers. Why one of them at least couldn't reopen as a ladies' I'll never know.
However, I also don't like the other one because one of them SHOUTS all the time. She makes my ears bleed. But she can usually fit me in.
Hairdressers? Hate them too.

Re: Hairdressers
There was a hairdresser in the village I grew up in but I think she only knew one style, everyone who went to her came out with the same hairstyle. Here I think I am lucky, I go to a lovely Spanish girl who is very modern, very well trained and always does a brilliant job no matter what I want. Cut, wash and restyle costs me 18 euros.|
