Where to go for a decent hair cut?

Post by ClaretAndJew » Wed Mar 04, 2020 6:56 pm

So lads.

Any recommendations?

I don't mind paying more for a good hair cut.

I don't want no quick short back and sides crap either.

Price range of around £15-20 per cut.

Barber Bros in Padiham.

Lowtons form dipped when he stopped going and went to Simon Towneley with Tom.

Barber Bros are where I go now but I've stopped liking how they do my hair, cutting it right to the top instead of leaving me with a parting. Apparently it's what some barbers just do.

Nice guys but my style has changed!

Jazz Mans is still the best in town. And eddies if Neil’s ever there.

Although neither do ‘proper’ shaves which is a shame.

Use Jazz Mans more as can pay on the card.

Stylz in Nelson also very good. But make sure you tell them what you want. They sometimes assume :lol:

Not sure what differentiates a £5 haircut and a £15 haircut when they’re all generally done by someone with a level one in hairdressing.

At least when I used to go to Toni and Guy I got a shampoo and head massage from a tidy bird but it was still bloody expensive, for what it was.

Everyone’s a barber or a window cleaner these days.

Yet still struggle to know when they will actually bother to do it.

At least with jazz mans they are open and consistent.

I recently got a window cleaner, i was home whilst he 'cleaned' our windows he was using some sort of extended brush with water squirting from it. The windows weren't very clean and the frames were black, apparently the dont do them any more. Needless to say it was his last day doing them. What happened to wiping them down with a cloth and taking pride in your work?

When I go there I'm always slightly puzzled by the hairdressing certificates on the wall awarded by a distance learning college.
Thought it was a hands on sort of 'hands on' qualification.

Barber Bros. is ****. When I’ve let them cut my hair previously (it’s very convenient from where I work) it looks like it’s been done with a butter knife.

Rips on Lyndhurst Road is consistently good and he’s a top man too.

Best thing about rips is telling him some porkies and seeing how long it takes for them to get round. Better than fishing on here.

Never tried that 1 but I've been to a few, they seem to go the extra mile with removing nose & ear hair as well as the hair & beard depending what you go in for.

Bobbin barbers, and for about £2, you can book a time slot that suits you, so no queue in and out without the hustle and bustle.

Also do beard trims, hot towel shaves and shaped up etc. They are well worth the cash.

Nowhere you have to book. That would be a ladies hairdressers. A few resident hairdressers on here it seems they may be quite good at cuts when not whining.

You don't "have" to book, however I find working a 50 hour week, and valuing my time/weekends, I find the £2 supplement to book great value.
There's also the added bonus of him being a top notch barber.

I do understand though, that there a folk out there that like spending 2-3 hours at a barbers on a weekend to get a £7 short back and sides that looks like Edward Scissor hands has done it, and cant afford the extra few quid.
File under the people that drink in the big window, and/or order a Fosters or Carlsberg when there's Moretti, Peroni or San Miguel available. All them 30p's add up...

Nope didn't say that, but I am also sure the barbers aren't hairdressers and only for ladies...

I don't label someone just because someone takes the cheaper option, and/or compromises on quality. It maybe their circumstances that determine why they make such choices.
Im fortunate that I don't have to regularly compromise with what I actually want, but do also sometimes take the cheaper option through choice, however I understand many people don't have a choice, so have to put up with the cheaper option or compromise on quality to get by.

The OP states his price range and quality he expects, which is why I provided him with my opinion within his requests, with the added bonus of saving him some time regards queuing/waiting.

You DO NOT have to book, its an option to save time for a small supplement.
Like a queue jumping pass at theme parks etc
But you've moved goalposts, you said, if you book it's a hairdressers for ladies.

Also probably 50% of barbers use some sort of booking app option.

I agree.

If there’s one thing that grinds my gears it’s turning up at a barbers. Completely dead.

‘Sorry I’m really busy mate’
There’s nobody in?
‘Yeah I’ve got bookings just waiting for them’

It literally takes 10 minutes to cut my hair and it’s about £15 these days. Just squeeze me in like a normal barbers and tell your booking IF they turn up they’re on next. They won’t even know any different.

I agree.

If there’s one thing that grinds my gears it’s turning up at a barbers. Completely dead.

‘Sorry I’m really busy mate’
There’s nobody in?
‘Yeah I’ve got bookings just waiting for them’

It literally takes 10 minutes to cut my hair and it’s about £15 these days. Just squeeze me in like a normal barbers and tell your booking IF they turn up they’re on next. They won’t even know any different.
For this reason my barber is down thousands of pounds as that many have moved on to real barbers.
