Barbers to open opposite the Plough

[Bic Basher]

A barbers shop will open at the former site of the Cafe/Segars Electrics as a sign has gone up in the window today.

Isn't there one next door already?

Wasn't that a hairdressers which according to a recent thread on here has now closed, or is about to?

Roche?

[Toldyouso]

Yep Roche looks pretty closed to me

[Jah Lush]

Roche closed. A new one to open. Simple.

[Zebedee Tring]

Funny that the new barbers haven't taken over the Roche premises as that place had been kitted out as a barbers/hairdressers for yonks.

The site the barbers is opening has a smaller retail space than Roche which I expect has a cheaper lease.

Incidentally, it appears Linda's Hairdressers opposite The Grove has filled the void left by Roche's closure.

Yea, exciting news. ANOTHER BARBER SHOP IS OPENING

I've been waiting years for this to happen, no more driving 5 minutes down Barry Road for the hair cut of my dreams

Hahaha!

The price list is up and it's very similar to other places nearby: dry cut, ?12. That is a bit more (?1.50) than the place I like (next door but one to Mrs Robinson) and I was hoping the new place at the Plough would be a bit cheaper than places much further down the lane. Perhaps it's going after the more affluent Village-side lot.

Hopefully it'll open soon and be an asset to this part of SE22.

12 is the standard price for a blokes haircut, hardly breaks the bank.

[Romnarz]

The one opposite the co-op in East Dulwich only charges ?7 weekendays for over 60s - had to show my bus pass cos he didn't believe me ! Made my day!

[Bic Basher]

?12 is what I used to pay at Roche. Dulwich Barbers is ?10.50.

Incidentally, Mem's Barbers, who already have other barbers in Hither Green and Penge are the company taking on the lease.

?12 is the price for a wannabe regency dandy's haircut, not a bloke's.

[Louisa]

?12? That's ridiculous for a barbers haircut. I know of decent salons who do men's hair to a high standard for just a little more. A barber should charge no more than ?6 for a haircut. The care, love and attention you get in a proper salon cannot be replicated by a barber. I always insist Mr Louisa goes to my regular salon. Nothing worse than a badly blended graded cut, shudders.

Louisa.

[Seabag]

There's a Mister Louisa?

Wow, he's a lucky guy ;)

[Bic Basher]

The cheapest cut I've found close to ED is Erdis in Forest Hiil, which is ?9.

[Ukla]

Great news. Much closer to home for me and I usually pay ?12 so will give it a go.

[Bic Basher]

The shop sign has gone up.

Where is it? Is the top the library end, or the Asda end?

It's always interested me , this concept that the only time one needs to "strap up" is at the weekend.

Or does the phrase imply sex is only had at the weekend ?

[Jeremy]

Weekends for playing away. It was the way they did things back in the day.

[northlondoner]

Oh an adulterous affair ?

[bob]

Friday hair done out on the pull hence the need to glove up.
