My local one does nasal hair as well
Hot wax then they stuff what looks like a small tampon
up your nose then when its set they rip it out
And i pay for it

Mine also does back crack and sack along the same lines...

Years ago at my then regular barbers, I was asked if I wanted by eyebrows done. I was unsure of what was to be done and to avoid offending, I said yes. The barber zipped across with trimmer and comb. Luckily he did not start threading.

Sounds like the kind of establishment allegedly frequented by MPs and Peers of the realm!

We have a few of these tragics.
One of them actually wears a hat whilst cutting.
lmfao.

...therefore my hair is always about 6" long on top and about 2" long on the back and sides.

Something like this?


My hairstyle days are long gone. I use clippers once a week to keep mine neat.

I've been going to the same barber in Covent Garden since 1990 (used to work in an office opposite). I have an emergency hipster backup in Berlin if I don't have a trip lined up. It peeves me slightly that a Berlin haircut costs double the one in the West End - it's all very well having cappuccino and beer on tap but all I actually want is a haircut.

It seems local town planning now stipulates that in any adjoining block of 5 shops at least one must be a Turkish Barber,this ratio must be adhered to in any block or multiples of 5. My village now has 7 and welcomes the more hirsute amongst us with open scissors.

Oh dear, nearer the truth than I thought then.

I use the wife's 'hairdresser' a local woman who's child is in my son's class. £10 for a fade up the sides and some scissoring on top to camouflage my growing 'monk doo' without resorting to the dreaded 'combover'. Used to go to an Italian man in a portacabin but queuing in the rain during winter was a pain to save £2. This way I book, turn up and it's done in a nice heated salon.
Previous to that I used a town center barbers where I did the whole 'wait for a particular guy' thing but he was very popular and it could take hours. Tried an expensive place once or twice but at the end of the day it's a haircut and paying £30 for some decor and a coffee seems reckless to me.

I found mine by looking at the reviews. Did a trial cut ie first time with them. Liked it and the barber. So I’ve stuck with them. Other times I’ve usually gone for ladies hairdressers that do blokes!
There’s plenty of hairdressers/barbers around to pick and choose. At least where I live.

There's been an explosion of men's barbers / hairdressers in my small town for some reason. My main issue is everyone working in them and everyone who comes out of them all have exactly the same "do". Basically a modern (crap) version of short back and sides with some sort of parting carved in it. No problem to me as I've been doing my own for years, number 4 all over now, sadly.

I think I understand what you mean sort of, but what's a vintage (good) version of a short back and sides ?

Genuine question - as I think most modern barbers take on a short back and sides is a few goes of a clipper round the back and a trim on top.

You've got me thinking fellas in the 40's, 50s and 60's where getting a better style of cut .

Similar to this really, just a (in my eyes) extreme fade and overly long on top. Honestly it seems every bloke under 25 has basically this cut. I walked past a couple of barbers the other and had to double take as every single person had exactly the same cut. From the back it looks like a mass cloning experiment. Never seen so many hairless backs of heads
