Any one I've went to has been a pish haircut. With you there. Went for a simple grade 2, tapered at the back in Aberdeen and this bird, without asking, shoved molten wax up my nostrils. Said sorry but her boss said it was compulsory. f**k that. Did breathe a bit more freely for a few minutes after the shock wore off I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chlamydia Kid Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Turkish barber that is an airdrie club sponsor. 0 at the sides and back, 3 at the top, bears shaped and trimmed, ears and nose waxed. Every 2 weeks. Comes to £16. I give him a score. So I pay £40 a month on my hair when I basically have none. If I could be arsed I’d go to Argos and buy a beard trimmer,clipper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IainMorton Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 2 back and sides, tidy on the top. Always go at least every three/four weeks. Also noticed that my hair seems to be growing quicker the older I get. I thought it was meant to fall out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Terrapin Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Bishopbriggs Barber(near the train station). 6 girls rotate, 5 of them give a decent haircut, 1 doesn't. It's like Russian roulette waiting to see if you'll end up with the shit hairdresser. Haven't worked up the courage to refuse when it does happen......What is barber etiquette in these circumstances? .Oh, £9 for a 2 at sides cut short on top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the trim, he wrapped a hot towel around my head like a turban, then strapped on some kind of vibrating glove mechanism, and gave me an upper body massage while we waited for my head to melt (or something). Then the towel came off, and he whirled a cut-throat razor around my hairline with alarming speed. He also offered to attack my nose/ear hair with what looked suspiciously like a little blowtorch. I demurred, to which he said that I "must not want to look too sexy for the in-laws". He wasn't wrong TBF. Looking forward to questioning my usual hairdresser about the absence of vibrating tools in our sessions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 On 5/11/2018 at 22:02, NorthernLights said: Barbers Pole on King Street in Aberdeen, should be £8.50 but I just round it to £10. A number 4 all over. I used to go there until one of the lassies had a massive fight with her enormous boyfriend who then proceeded to stand behind my chair glaring at me in the mirror as she went back to cutting my hair. I will still get my hair cut when I head up to Inverness for an ICT game. Usually try and squeeze in a trip to For Men Only. Short back and sides is £10 and the folk there are pretty good fun to chat with. If not I head to Sink and Anchor on the Grassmarket for the same thing (£20). Bit more of a hipster barbers (beer , PS4 etc on offer) but again the staff are pretty good when you are in there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JollyJoddy Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Nowadays there are no decent barbers in my area, though I still visit a nearest hair salon to trim my scalp. I'm doing all the beard grooming myself, by the way, who's using any beard oils balms here? My skin gets extra dry each winter and I decided to try some moisturizers as mentioned here, maybe based on argan oil. It is said here https://www.wikihow.com/Use-Beard-Balm that using these balms should be included in my morning routine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
