EDOliver Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Evening all. Being a new ED resident I'm currently in the process of trying to establish a regular place to get my hair cut. Somewhere that offers good value, decent chat, a smiling face and above all a good end result. Having paid ?15 at a local barbers a month ago I was happy with what I got but thought I'd see what else was on offer in ED. So, I popped in to a place that was rammed and thought I'd see what all the fuss was about. However, what I received was a 10 minute (if that) cut with an Eastern European girl that literally said about 5 words and didn't smile once. And, much to my dismay I was charged ?30 for the privilege! Is it me or is ?30 a b***dy lot to be paying for what was in essence a short back and sides? Do places really expect zero customer service and for us to keep coming back??? Anyone know a good place (?20 tops) in ED??

Jeremy Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Didn't you ask the price first?! If you're talking about the place on L Lane with the "coiffure" sign outside - I'm pretty sure the prices are in the window. Can't think of anywhere else in ED which would charge you over ?20 for a men's cut in ED."The Clipper" on Northcross Rd is fine for basic short back and sides, as is the Barry Road barbers. Can't say I was impressed with Headnizm though. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/4855-30-for-a-haircut/#findComment-156219 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mockney piers Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Where do you work?My barber on Tottenham Court Road charges 7 quid, are friendly and do a pretty good job. The missus goes to LL and pays upwards of a ton, which just ain't for me!!

bignumber5 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I usually go to clipper on NXrd, but had first bad cut there last week so am not singing its praises as i normally would - 10 mins of having my head thrown around rather forcefully and much too short but as started with big clipper-buzz to side of head was really no going back... but first time that's happened. Normally does the job, about ?15. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/4855-30-for-a-haircut/#findComment-156229 Share on other sites More sharing options...

indiepanda Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 ?30... life is so much cheaper as a man isn't it? I think I last paid ?30 about 10 years ago if not longer, and that wasn't even in London.

Bellenden Belle Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Oh, oh, oh UnderhillOliver. Let me tell you a story.Bellenden Belle didn't have a chance to go to her favourite GM stylist before Christmas and so instead went to one of Manchester's finest establishments, "as recommended by Tatler magazine".I paid ?95.Did anyone notice? Anyone?No one.A girl could weep. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/4855-30-for-a-haircut/#findComment-156413 Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiepanda Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Ouch - was that just for a haircut or did it include colour?I usually pay just over ?100, but that does include a full dye job each time.

RosieH Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 ?30 haircuts and no "feminine items" to buy...That said, fellas do tend to get their hair cut more often so maybe it balances out a bit?

But then if I stuck to the hair cut and put up wit the grey it would probably work. I'm sure we get lots of extra costs elsewhere though. Men get to wear socks instead of tights, that's got to be a major saving surely??
