Ladies - great hairdresser recommendation (3 Viewers)

Chatty hairdressers, what the deal with that?!.

I was getting a haircut the other day and one of the barbers was cutting a lithuanian guys hair. The Lithuanian guy was over here for about a year, living in Nass doing this and that.

I know this because depsite the first thing he said to the barber" hello (smiling politely)ha,,i dont really want to talk..(in broken english),the barber harangued him the whole time..

" What? Are you Polish? Polish is it? No? Lithuanina? Living here long then? What do you do? etc etc relentlessy
 
i wish. no, he just kept pestering me about my job except i didnt have one at the time and i had to make up answers. the first thing he asked was if i had the day off so i said i did, yes, and it escalated from there. no chatting in this new place

I usually lie through my teeth in order to explain away the state of my hair and why I haven't had it cut for six months, e.g. I've just returned from climbing Everest, or I'm a UN peackeeper.

Honestly, I'd rather go to the dentist.

I used to feel like that too. For about 10 years I went through phases of getting so sick of my hair that I would give up and go to a hairdresser, get it all chopped off, end up so appalled by the cost, time taken and the general humiliation that I couldn't face it again so spend 2 years letting my hair do it's own thing again... and then restart the whole thing.

Actually, I still feel like that... but unfortunately I started going to a hairdresser on Grafton St, who also cuts a friend of mine's hair... and if I haven't been in a while he starts nagging my friend, who nags me. Plus I see him around, and if I haven't been in a while he makes comments about me needing a trim.

He's a nice guy and a good hairdresser, and he's right... but it's annoying nonetheless.
 
I think going to a hairdresser and getting a cut you're pleased with requires a bit of ecker beforehand. Trawl t'internet, find out what would suit your hair type (if your hair is fine then a really voluminous cut isn't going to be possible without a lot of product, if it's curly a sleek do probably won't be achieveable each morning unless you get up at 6am). Do you like it down or up? Does your cut need to be versatile - like I cannot bear my hair around my face except occasionally and I always tell my hairdresser that so she won't cut stupid bits so short I can't tie them back. If it's fine and flat ask for long layers to add body to it - just do a bit of research before you go in and you should end up relatively pleased with the results.
 
that sounds like intimidation, a protection racket or something. he needs sorting out. how much is a hair-do on grafton street?

Yep, it feels like it sometimes too. It's around €50 for over an hour of faffing about. Still, he does do a good cut.
 
i get my haircut once a year, and i'm always too embarrased to be specific about what i want. So i place my trust in the hands of the barber.
A couple of years ago i got it cut in the barbers in the square and the bird there cut my hair exactly like this.

OMG :eek:

i had my worst barber experience in that place in the basement on westmoreland st - the waldorf i think its called, it has a picture outside of john bruton laughing. i decided to go in and pay to have my 6 months of beard shaved off rather than spend all day at it myself so i got the hot towels and cut throat etc but she cut the face off me and i had to go to work then dripping blood all over the place.
 
hahaahahahaha x 50 million

has anyone ever legged it from a barbers or hairdressers?

you know if you're trying to explain a cut to someone and you know they just don't get it? and you know that the eventual outcome is going to be skinhead

have you ever hopped the twig?

i always wanted to get that done, without the bleeding or course. Did you get the head massage?

No, but I did leave mid-cut once - and refused to pay. The girl was absolutely refusing to listen to me and had made a total mess of my hair which I went to another place accross the road to have fixed as best they could.

deadly! there's nothing worse than someone finishing a cut badly and going "thanks, that's great" as you're heart sinks into your stomach and you try and think where can you go to find a hat to conceal your head on the journey home
 
i used to go to a guy in galway called Barry who works in a salon called Memento, and if you feel like travelling, i highly recommend him! I'm actually travelling to the boyf in galway at the weekend and pencilling in some highlights and a cut too! I learned my lesson (stick with a good hairdresser) when i went to a different hairdresser last time and came out with a bob. :(
 
i was advised by colleagues to go see this bloke who fancied himself as 'har dressa to da starz' or some such, as they all thought he was the shit. i was expecting warren beatty in 'shampoo' but ....he cuts the blithers outta my hair and then wanted IR£80 in payment. the girl on reception laughed her head off when i went to pay and she saw me hair, called him over and started taking him to task over what he'd done. and she argued on my behalf that i should not pay. it looked like a mad mans arse for a good few years after. fuxake
 
jesus!
