Haircuts!

[Nabsim]

I don’t see the problem, wherever you go there will be hairdressers so just use one of them, or am I missing something?

Myself I think it must be 15 years or more since I had a haircut, it’s longer than anyone I know

Johnny foreignaland, language misunderstanding fears. Go in thinking you've ordered up a light clip, blue rinse perm, and exit with a 2 way Mohican.

Apart from getting it cut the only thing I do with my hair is wash it when I'm in the shower.

I run a brush through when it's still wet then don't touch it again until next time it's washed.

Don't use a hairdryer either. I had one, but it broke about 10 years ago.
I only used it on really cold days if my hair was still wet and I had to go out, so no big miss.

So it's the CUTTING when on the road that's the problem.
Shall have to train Neil, like you say Harrow

Buy him a pudding basin & a sharp pair of scissors.

The only problem I have is that I keep running out of platinum hair dye.

Mine is easy, a quick once over with a No1 setting on a rechargeable hair and beard trimmer, Maggy cuts her own on the sides and I cut the back for her but we only do this if no other option, there is a good hairdresser locally that you can walk in without an appointment and sit in a short queue, the hairdressers are self employed and rent the chair and they all do exactly what you ask for, when we are away from home a quick search finds a college with a hairdressing course that you can book in for a cut, if you specify a 3rd year student they do a good job for a few pounds

Bit of a long story, but I will keep it short, whilst serving in the RAF I had 3 haircuts in one day, on the last one I was marched under escort to the station barber and watched over and had to pay for the privilege. Used to rebel as sideboards should also be level with the eye.
Prefer it shorter now , strangely I've just had a haircut in Split, Croatia for 50 Kuna (£6) .
That was an old fashioned barbers.

I went to a hairdresser last week,first time in about six years,I said to the woman that their industry would collapse if all her customers were like me. I really can't be arsed getting it cut,if something is getting in the way I just chop it off. It's rare for me to wash it as well, maybe twice a year.

Friend of mine hasn't washed his hair in the last twenty years or so, he wears it long and is a nice silky silver/grey. He says that for a few weeks of not washing it, it looked oily and messy but as the weeks went on it started to become what it is today - a nice head of hair.

My dad tried that once. He managed 8 weeks before my mother put her foot down. He always said it would have worked if he'd gone a bit longer! :lol-053:

... and not just overseas, either! Apart from the fact that a lot of established hairdressers can charge an arm & a leg for a 2 minute haircut, I've been to English hairdressers in the distant past who've made a pig's ear of it - and that's a difficult thing to do cos curly is fairly forgiving, well mine is anyway! At the risk of being sexist, you men don't have the same problem as us women!

Careful now, much male barnet admiration there, the wife might be watching

as a slaphead , i can't be bothered to read through all this hairy talk , but i do remember meeting a girl who funded her travels by haircutting on any collection of campers. these snowbirds get bore and even if they don't need it, they'll have a cut. she did very well out of it , so may be worth taking a course if you want a travelling earner with very few tools to carry

 

[Herbenny]

one of my lads is a barber and charges £16.00 at haircut and is completely flat out all day everyday

He done my hair once when I nagged him, I got a crackin short back and side and a beard trim

 

[jeanette]

I have mine short now and have had for a few years I used to have long straight hair now it’s short and spiked but fine so I just have to wash and go!

If you cut your hair the same as mine you would have no problems either

You are kidding. Since the 60s, at least, many men have made it a 'problem'
particularly when young taking inordinate time and care over their haircut
and styling. D.As, quiffs, Beatle cuts, Boston neck, tapered Neck etc. Had to be
just right, fussier than the girls. My experiences were London founded, so things
might have differed elsewhere in the country. A Greek hairdresser in Wardour St.
got mine wrong, upset? You bet I was, demanded my money back and got immediate
remedial attention somewhere else!
Much same the story with clothes. We'd do just about anything to get the birds.
Nowadays I couldn't give an ff. even wear jeans in old age!

Our last two haircuts have been in Spain, and most recently in Porta Maurizio in Italy. Both haircuts have been two of the best ever, by conincidence both 10€ each, and particularly in Italy, the hairdresser could speak no English whatsoever ever.

Dunno about that I have the longest hair in the office, it’s down to my bum, I reckon you ladies faff about too much. Wash it, condition it then towel dry and brush it :raofl::banana::raofl::banana:

Blinky show orf! Piccie to prove? ey? ey?

You've posted that to pee off the slap heads on here, you bad boy!! :hammer: :raofl:

Anyway, I certainly don't faff about with my hair, thank you very much

It's one of the reasons I have had long hair most of my life, I'd rather go to the dentist than a hairdresser. When I have worn it short it has needed a trim every month. Long can go 12 - 18 months between cuts. And often does.
