Do you use a barber or beauty shop?

When I was a kid there were only barber or beauty shops, but in the 1970’s they came out with unisex places. I started using them when I was a young man, but now I like going to the barber shop like I did when I was a kid.

I go to the beauty shop to get my hair done but when I had to cut my hair I went to the barbers shop.

Barbers - cos its just a tenner and its easier than razoring my own head with two mirrors.

If anything i go for the conversation and to get out the flat for a bit. They love me anyway cos i fixed their till thats got Windows CE on it lol.

Barbershop, though im letting the hair get longish again but will probably still have them shape my beard as I grow that longer over the winter too.

I try to have my wife do my hair with clippers whenever possible. I prefer function over appearance.

They always chuckle and say “i cover cover, no worry” pointing to the small area of receding hairline :rofl:

I get a trim at my hairdresser twice a year.

I stopped colouring it.
Will have my natural colour.

My friend Anders thinks i should go blonde but it’s too expensive and too much high maintenance for me.
Love him anc appreciate his opinion though.

I want to start getting my eyebrows waxed.

I like having my nails pretty colour too.

I avoid them if possible. And visit them maybe twice a year.

Same here. Cost savings from paying the barber for his labor as well as the travel costs to the barber shop if any.

I always get my haircuts free because I’m a hustler like that.

LOL Nah I’m j/k. :wink:

But the community college salon I go to always does free trims for veterans. It’s a pretty sweet deal.

Recently they were closed though so I just had my mom take it all off with a #1 all over.

I think next time though when it grows out I’ll go to the salon and get a nice fade. :slight_smile:

I go to the salon once a year…due…probably go next month.

They take a #2 to my sides and back, and scissor the top. It’s pretty short but not a buzz cut.

Nice man.

Yeah, a #2 is nice and clean cut.

I typically get a #3 on the sides and back, and a #5 on top, or just a short buzzcut.

I just buzz mine down to the skull - saves me money and having to make conversation in the chair

I use an asian barber. I think he’s Vietnamese? I’ll have to ask him next time I get a cut. He does a fantastic job with short straight-hair haircuts.

Honestly the ethnicity of the barber shouldn’t matter but I feel I had to mention it because it’s a huge part of the experience and the language is spoken there just as often as English. I wonder if he’s talking crap about my while cutting my hair lol! Probably not though in all seriousness the guy is awesome.
