So, er I went to Toni & Guy

[ianrauk]

Clippers from Argos and do it myself (no guard fitted).

Same here....

My last cut and colour cost me £140 and I still had to shell out another £7 to get my fringe trimmed a few weeks later, the cheeky swines. It's not even any better than my usual £90 do but I was being lazy and had it done in Battersea rather than schlepping all the way to Paddington for it.

I use dog clippers, they were better quality than anything else about at the time - had them for about 25 years now. Hope I'm not hounded out of the place for saying that.

Terrible!
Like the Freewheelin Franklin avatar though.

My local barber only charges a fiver - can't argue with that.
In and out in less than 10 minutes, so I only have to stare at myself in the mirror (why on earth do they all insist on putting you through that ?!) for a very short space of time.

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

£0 but my husband has longer hair than I do!
On the +ve side, I have't gone grey unlike him!

 

[Herr-B]

£7.80 for me. I say, 'take nine', and that leaves me with a quid to get out of the car park. Unless she's stinking of fags, then I just wait silently for all my change.

My barber charges £6 but you do have to listen to him talking about Spurs......whatever that/they might be

Something to do with a cowboy's boots?

I'm not sure re Toni and Guy - I think sometimes when they get it right it can be a nice cut but sometimes it is just a bit too trendy out there and not my cup of tea - as a result of that I've not been for years. I don't get my hair dyed professionally - spent over a decade dying my own hair and gave it up a few years ago and wouldn't pay for the overpriced privilege of someone to do it for me - like it as my natural shade.

I get my haircut at the Vidal Sassoon training academy-take ages but is affordable for a lovely cut. Always very interesting and something new each time but subtle as I want it to be or don't want it to be without needing to do much with it.

 

[Night Train]

I just ask my Dad.
He cuts my hair, foc, and I get a from my Mum at the same time!

 

[ttcycle]

By the way, who are Toni and Guy? I don't think I've heard of them - are they members of a modern beat combo?

Like H&M when it was Hennes and Morritz?

£6 when I remember to go. Always 10 mins of my life I never get back........

 

[Marshmallow_Fluff]

I used to pay anything in the region of £80-£90 for colour, cut and style, but I suddenly got soooo lucky as my hairdresser decided to go solo with a "mobile" business. Now she comes over to my place and she's charging £15 for cut and £20 for colour (£10 if it's just roots).

 

[Archie_tect]

£7.50 plus a tip [don't buy cheap sausages they're full of fat and meal]...
The barber shop's called "Q" ... but they're never full!

 

[snorri]

Interesting history behind it.
