Told a lady in work yesterday that my current haircut was my most expensive ever, €17. She said last time she'd got her's done it cost €170.

would you say her hair is ten times better?

Damn right.

Is

I find barbers are all about expectations. Just going for blade cut? €8 is what I'd pay and expect it to be over in 10 mins. Going for a blade on sides/back and some non-complicated scissor trimming on the top? I'd pay €10-€15. Need something a little fancier where you can be confident the barber will know his shit & hopefully do a really good job? I'd pay €30-€40 but there better be a hair wash thrown in and the whole job should last about 45 mins.

The best barber I've been to was a Turkish one down the end of Manor St in Stoneybatter almost next to the turn to the Joinery / Arbour Hill. Used a bare hot towel shtyle razor on the the of my neck, took at least 30mins and was about €12. I'll be going back next time I have the opportunity

There's an Egyptian lad in Stradbally that's class too

Started up his own place after working for an Irish guy and getting paid buttons. Said he left Egypt to get away from that crap.
As solid a haircut as I ever got.

Jaysus I might give that a go next time, though I was delirah with the job the lady in Sam's Barber on Prussia St did.

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

Abso. There's a sign in the salon in work. Men $12, Women $25
Where else would you get it?

Well women do get paid twice as much as men.

Turkish lads on the Main Street are €15 for the same treatment (including a head massage at the end).

Guys, I decided to go to the cheaper barbers. Couldn't justify £42 for trim. In the queue now. Wish me luck

Keep an eye on the work in progress - you may need to make a quick exit

These guys are solid. 40 years of experience. No hairdressing school for them. Gino's Barbers in Stoke Newington.

I also find it weirdly reassuring when your barber is bald. It's like he cares so much about other peoples hair he doesn't even need his own.

Don't be fooled by that. A barbershop celebrating a similar anniversary prompted me to start this thread

Unsatisfactory Haircuts | thumped.com

Also, the local one here (which I've just decided is unsatisfactory) recently had a celebration of 50 years. I entered their competition for a hamper of hair care products for men but I didn't win so fuck them.

Speaking of hair care products - my father, who still has a full head of hair at 76, keeps asking me do I want to try this expensive looking hair-thickening snakeoil he just happens to have.
