Is a wet willy standard protocol?

[mrk]

New Turkish barber shop opened up a walk down the road and my usual place was rammed so figured I'd go there instead this time round.

All good, clean place, snazzy Turkish music don't understand a word but the beat is "fire".

After the cut and fade he says hair wash time, I insist it's not needed as I'm showering later anyway but he insists. I apologise and obliged in true British tradition.

Barber washed my hair then proceeded to WASH MY EAR HOLES???

Immeasurable violation.

Then goes to the other room and grabs a hot steaming towel and wraps hair and face in it and lets it steep for 4 minutes. Am I a teabag now?

On one hand an unusual barbering experience.

On the other hand .. Yeah

Thoughts and prayers?

Nope, flame cleaning I've heard of but never before actual rinsing and cleaning with their fingers lol

Id much rather flame clean, would actually be rather cool

No Q tip, plus q tips are bad for use in the ear anyway!

£14 it cost by the way for a proper skin fade and the extras.

The question is will you be going back?

Depends on if my usual barber is rammed next time too Got another Turkish barber th eopposite end of the same road and whilst that barber offers me a drink etc, he talks relentlessly and you just want to glove slap to say be quiet

Maybe your ears were particularly rank.

Impossible, I value my hearing as much as my eyesight, so they are well maintained!

The barber lifted my head up and violently twisted it last time I was there which resulted in a nice pop! Must admit it actually felt quite good after but do feel he should have asked first!

But on the whole I think the Turkish barbers are great, and nothing beats the smell of singed ear hair in the morning.

Pffft I crack my own neck multiple times a day

Huh, and I was a bit perturbed when the Turkish lad shaved my eyebrows (just to a sensible length, not off entirely). A wet willy is pretty next level!

Without asking?! I would be amazingly peed off and demand free haircuts for a year if they did that without asking. Who even shaves their eyebrows anyway aside from guys being dudes on stag parties or something

Last page?! Are you one of those who has default page views

If you say 'Immeasurable violation' in a Mortal Kombat voice then it's a perfect 10.

Outstanding.

I did it and the .m4a is on my desktop, but... where can I upload it... [chin think emoji]

How was the moisturising face cream applied? I'm getting the impression there's more going on here than cutting hair.

no moisturiser, Turkish aftershave was slapped onto the skin faded areas

It smelled like Turkey

Skin fade is a haircut lol. The cut fades into the skin.
