I felt tortured, at my hairdressers.
- Thread starter fiveub
- Start date
I did a couple of times when I had lots of money.
Double it and i've paid it.
It was more than a cut though, it was also colour.
*waits for the comments*
BRING IT!
To be honest I'd fussy about my hair, always have been, hate barber cuts because they ruin it - I've been to many over the years.
I now go to Toni & Guy with a top 'stylist' who knows me (3 years), cuts my hair the way I like it without needing to ask me what I want. I guess you get what you pay for.
I don't find £45 a month an issue, it's the 'norm' now.
As for the OP - most definitely homo-molestation.

£35 Toni & Guy = Hairwash + head massage from some fit chick, free tea, top class cut and some banter from equally fit chick.
£6 = gay fumble from someone who only knows how to use a shaver from trimming his knuckle hair.
Hmmm lemme think for a min
I was doing the london T&G thing too...until...
Got friendly with my 'regular' (who's fit as...). Go to her house now for a personal service, only 15 quid
Agree with Edleake.
I've had the same person for 2-3 years now, knows exactly how I like my hair, she also enjoys cutting it as I give her freedom really, whereas other clients are nitpicky and just want 'boring' cuts.
She threatens me that if I go to someone else she will kill me, and them

her daughter is not half bad either 
I pay that every six weeks for a haircut. I'm sure many will think it not worth it, but they do go to a lot of trouble. Differences compared to a standard barber's cut I would say are:
- Own private room in which to get your hair cut
- Complimentary drinks both alcoholic and non-alcoholic
- Your own TV to watch what you like
- Wash
- A cut by a top stylist whereby they take the time to cut the hair properly. i.e. if you want grade x around the sides and back they do it with scissors and not the razor. This results in a better finish to the hair.
For a top stylist in central London it is not that extortionate. I know some places that will charge up to £100 for what is essentially a wash and cut.
These guys know what they're doing and when you think of the rent in a prime location and then find out that it costs them £500 for a pair of scissors you can begin to understand why it costs a little more than a back street place.
For 10 years I shaved my head myself and if I had the same length hair all over I'd do the same, particularly with the new ceramic clippers that just glide around the head in a minute or two. But now I've grown it out and need it to be "styled" I'm happy to pay for a good job.
