When you go to the barbers

I tell them what I want and about 1/3rd of the time they do what I have asked. I even make sure to emphasise the bit they always **** up. Does it help? Does it hell.

Then again, I pay about £14 so I can't get too pissy. They do the flaming ear thing as well which is always good.

My local barber is very good, I usually have a high skin fade (grade 0 sides and back) which takes about 20-25mins for him to do and only costs £12.50. I used to get a mate to cut my hair (runs a barber shop) up until recently but after he never turned up for a booked appointment, I decided zero tolerance is the only way forward from now on. Saved me £7.50 by going back to my local too, same cut, in half the time.

I haven't been to the barbers for about 12 years. I bought myself a pair of clippers for £15 instead.

Number 2 back and sides.
Number 6 on top.

I'm not particularly good at it but I was never happy when the barber did it either. Why pay a barber to make me unhappy when I can do that myself for free?

Been going to the same barber for years who always just asks, 'short?' To which I agree and she cracks on, I come out with short back and sides and cut neatly on top. Wasn't able to replicate it during covid so I went back.

"Alright Pablo mate how's it going? Still crap at German? Yeah so same as usual really, down to a 1 around the back and sides, and leave the top long enough so that I can still do something with it, bit of texture in the top too"
*** HAIR CUTTING TAKES PLACE ***
"38? Take €43, cheers mate yeah see you again"

City centre barber in a hipster district primarily frequented by expats from various countries, fridge full of nice beer and hipster coke, you know the sort of place.

Same. What surprised me though is that when I take my son to the barbers I occasionally see bald men, like you and me, going there to get a head shave. Quite aside from the ridiculous waste of money I love the convenience of just clipping my head myself.
