How long have you been going to the same salon/barbers for a haircut ?? I have been using the same person for 30 years I'm 43 this year and I wouldn't think of using anyone else. I have tried others but they are all useless

I go to different hairdressers almost every time I need my hair done. Whoever can fit me in when I decide I want a cut, I hate appointments.

Anyhow, my more regular and favourite hairdresser has now moved to Australia, so it's just anywhere will have to do now.

I had the same one for about 5 years. Then my mate decided to split up with her and she's moved away.

Last haircut cost me 12quid!

I took my 2 year old son to have his cut and it cost me £5.75 ( ) for 10 minutes work.
It costs the same to do mine and takes her 20 minutes

Been using the same ones for about 8 years.

was paying about £5 every 2/3 weeks for some bloke to cut mine, and every time he showed me the top + back in the mirror i had lost a bit less

waste of cash i thought, bought some clippers and shaved it all off and have done ever since

our lass pays about £50 every month or so to get hers done
usually takes her little sister along at the same time and pays for hers as well

I used to have my haircut by the same girl on purpose because I'd try everything I could to get her to out with me. Didn't work.

My wife is a hairdresser now so it pretty much rules out any other woman cutting my hair ever again.

Same guy for 18 years.

Currently charges £3.80. I do tip him £1.20 though.

Was chatting to some Tart in a pub a few years ago who happened to be a hairdresser. She said I should come along to where she worked and she'd do my hair for a good rate............. £40

**** that





























I did **** her though

Getting a new barber is the most stressful thing that can happen to a man apparently.

Get one that chats about football and hang on to him like your life depends on it!

About 5 years, but then it was just at the end of the road for me.

Also as I did him a couple of favours with a wedding he wanted photographed whilst he video'd it, I get haircuts for free.

If you have hair, you must go to a proper salon and get some little minx to cut it. I don’t want some fella massaging my head !

Always funny when the "i do my own, sod paying £10" people pipe up.

Its like someone with one of those scummy gardens you see backing on to railway lines as you cruise past in train...the ones with a fridge and a patio made from stole kerb stones...anyway, its like them saying "get a gardener...sod that, i look after this place for noting"
