Barber or hairdressers

£10 and a good turkish barber. Actually takes pride in it and knows what hes doing. A woman chatting crap and cutting my hair... nah.
 
The place I go to is both. You walk in and on the left is the gents and on the right is the ladies.

I pay about £5.50 a go now and give a few quid for a tip. I've been going since I was about 16 and they've always gone a great job.
 
£6 it costs me for a number 3. My barber is pretty fit, she can ask/say whatever I don't care :p

I did once go to a barber on a work lunch though, it was a Saudi barber in Portsmouth. The guy was pro++, I have never seen any barber spend so long fine tuning the taper and sideburns before. Was also £6.

Shame that place is not close to home, else I'd go there often. Work lunch haircuts eat into my eating into omelette time, which is not cricket.
 
£21 + tip.

It's a nice price cut actually, my hairdresser moved from a more expensive salon recently. I was paying £30 + tip before.
 
I used to pay £10 for a dry cut, £17 for a cut and blow dry and £34 for a full colour, cut and style. Those were half price due to mates rates and I'd make sure she got lots of drinks bought on nights out. I've recently moved so had to find a new salon. Tried a local one last week for a quarter of an inch trim to tidy my ends up and they did a good job of it, hairdresser even neatened up my layers. Charged me £15 and threw in a manicure and gel nails for free as it was my first time there. Top banana.
 
£10 every 2 weeks at my Barber. I have no idea how many of you manage 6+ weeks, my hair is a complete mess after 2.

I used my first Barber for nearly 10 years, had to move on when he got so old he couldn't or just didn't listen to my direction. Kind of a big thing considering I have a pretty strong inclination on what I want to walk around with on my head!

It's surprising how big a decision it is choosing a replacement for your barber, many things have to be considered, not least how much they irritate you in the time they have you trapped in their chair. I don't have much toleration for other people or their problems, their quirks and their willingness to share!
 
Barber - supposedly £10 for the cut but they always give me £2 change never asked why. I can easily go 6 weeks between cuts just need to get the back of my neck trimmed up in the mean time.
 
Turkish barbers, I like that they go the extra mile making sure it's perfect and the little extras like using the open razor on my neck and attacking my ears with little balls of fire. During the winter when i have a beard they also trim and shape it for no extra cost.

Costs £9 and get a free cut every 6th visit too.

Pretty sure asking those sorts of questions was how the Da Vinci code started.

This. I have my hair cut short (not skinhead short though) My job makes me sweat a fair bit & my hair gets wet (even in winter!) wet hair in winter is not a good recipe if you dont want to catch cold.
 
I go to a proper old school barbers just next door. It's great, there's only one barber (the owner) so you all sit and put the world to rights whilst you wait. Hairdressers just aren't the same, at this place the hair cut is almost a bi-product, you're really going to catch up with all the old boys.
 
5 on the top, 3 back and sides no fringe, sorted. I go to a local barbers, costs £7. I do have a chat to them now as you go so many times you actually start to know them.

Used to be barbers every two weeks while I was serving in the RAF.

Eventually got bored of that so bought my own clippers and went over to using that unguarded so about a No 0.5 I think it works out to, then got bored with having to do that more frequently than going to the barbers.

For the last 6 years been using one of these http://www.headblade.com/

So fast and easy to use.

At the same time I switched to shaving with double edged razor, decent shaving soap and a best badger hair brush and am slowly working my way upto a straight razor :eek:

So much cheaper than all that Gillette crap better for the skin and to be honest its made shaving a much more pleasurable experience again.
 
Hairdressers. Just literally had my barnett chopped and styled. £18.

Used to DIY it myself with some clippers, until I came to the harsh reality that it looked crap shaven like that.
 
I normally just go to the closest hairdressers to my house but I went to a barbers when I was visiting my family in Northern Ireland and it was very good. Mainly because I was given a beer during the haircut ;)
 
Usually pay around £7 at a barbers near where I used to live - wouldn't trust any around where I've moved to. 3/4 people who work there are great every now and again I get the fourth - no matter what you ask for you always get the same ropey cut :(
