Camping out side hairdressers on the 3rd?

Zatoichi.uK · 26 Jun 2020 at 22:41

Happy to buzz it myself now. No biggie and saves around £20pm. Already made my money back on the clippers I bought.

No. Because I'm not sad and incredibly vain.

Doing it wrong OP. The trick is to marry a hairdresser and convert your loft into a salon. Hair cuts are not an issue here

What a ridiculous thing to do. To each their own.

I'll give it a week before going when the madness calms down.

Why would not just book somewhere that accepts bookings? My son and I are booked in for next Sunday, no queueing just walk straight in, already paid for it too

Camping for a hair cut is insane, I wouldn't put it past the British public though, wouldn't surprise me if someone gets stabbed somewhere over a hair cut these days

Do any of reservations require people to confirm if they have had covid/had a test/any symptoms etc etc.

was just filling in online form for a relative, requesting such (liability) info, for an osteoptath visit - all on google docs ... is that gdpr (tin hat) compliant.

Track and trace could have some interesting dilema for barbers(give proximity versus pubs etc) ... suppose you became infected and, named the barber,
the tracers would ring premises up, and there would now be a log, that you could have passed it on there - would they have to isolate/close.

I suppose barber himself, may have a medical mask, but, they can't demand you reciprocate.

My wife has been told she should bring a mask or they will supply one.

I think that's taking things a bit too far. Marrying someone just to get a free haircut.

Not to stick the scissors in you? I'm joking I know what you mean I was the same when I was in my 20's which I assume you are, now I couldn't give a #### and just want in and out as quickly as possible

Steeps · 27 Jun 2020 at 13:33

I think you need to sue your barber for not prioritising your haircut and how it can affect your mental state on trying to become a top revenue earner. I'm sure you'd have been £100 better off if you'd had your haircut as soon as they open compared to waiting a few days.

Just had mine cut. The mass reduction meant my neck muscles turned my head too quickly and i pulled something.

I'd understand if you normally charged 10 and now your charging 12-14 because of ppe but charging double and claiming its because everyone has long hair is a joke.

Absolutely - Last time I actually got a haircut, it involved lopping off 3' of hair before any actual 'haircut' or styling work was applied.
Cost was the same as if I'd walked in with a 4" mop.

No different to marrying someone just to get a free shag, which many people seem to do...

The fact that both reasons actually end up costing you far more in the end seems to get overlooked, though...

I'm looking forward to pretending to know about football, then quickly getting out of my depth.
