Why, oh why, is every fcuking barbershop in the land shut on a Sunday! Surely it makes sense for them to open all weekend?!

I need a haircut!

[Easter Bunny]

Why arent you at work?

I've been shaving my head with clippers for the past 7 years. What is barber shop?

[Slacker24seve...]

Perhaps its because MX5 drivers like a day off work too?

Has anyone else noticed the demise of the 'proper' barbers. Barbers should be run and owned by greek men with big, white hair, tongue and groove cladding on the walls and pictures of said greek man with boxers and film stars circa 1950.

The only female in the shop should be a saturday girl who sweeps hair and washes towels. She DOES NOT offer you tea or coffee, she DOES NOT talk about her weekend, she DOES NOT use a mobile phone.

Customers have their favourite barber and will wait until that barber is available, even is this means they have a longer wait. Chit-chat is not forced, nor uncomfortable but genuine.

Magazines should include 'Practical Classics' and 'Razzle'.

All the barbers these days seems to be devoid of history, run by women wearing black and not only completely ignoring you but talking absolute shit to their mates. I felt as welcome as dog shit. Fuck em, I'm growing my hair now. Tell you what, at £7.50 for 12 minutes work, you can fuck off if you think you're getting a tip. I want for my change. Sluts.

My hairdesser (can't call them barbers, it's women who dress in black and charge £7.80 for a no.2 all over) opens on a Sunday.

Cut thy own hair, assuming you have a proper haircut such as short back and sides or a grade all over.

Buy WAHL clippers.

[Dazbo666]

20 odd quid for a set of clippers and attachments, and I do a DIY hair job about once a month or so.... the clippers pay for themselves within a couple of months

EDIT: ..and by coincidence my current set is WAHL brand too

Banks not being open on a weekend, other than 3 measly hours on a Saturday morning, boils my piss.

[Harold_Shand]

I work 07:30-16:00, Monday to Friday with 30 mins lunch break. I have had £8 in coppers, all bagged up, ready to get changed for about 3 weeks. No wonder the economies fucked.

I've never understood why a lot of shops (including those aimed purely at kids, etc) have the bulk of their opening hours when everyone else is at work (/school).

But then, lets say they changed 'main' opening to Wednesday - Sunday with odd hours on Monday/tuesday.
Now all the people doing deliveries etc need to work those days. The people trying to contact these companies also need to work these days too. All the related service industries for these people now also have to change their working week. Suddenly actually we're back where we started .

[Paxovasa]

The reason they are shut on a Sunday is they are all singing (although it takes 4 shops to form one group).

Perk of having an aunt who is an independent [s]barbette[/s]</del> ... er, [s]hairdresser[/s] ... no... [s]beautician??[/s]... person wot does other peoples hair (and tutor of such at a college)... free trims at my convenience.

But also means I know her main business comes from doing home visits, as she doesn't have a premises and can only support so many people going to her house. Including saturdays and the occasional sunday appointment.

No idea how much she charges (wa-hey) but if you're desperate enough, it's probably worth whatever a simple 10-minute shave & scissor/razor tidy-up runs to. And she can't be the only one doing this otherwise she'd surely be at the head of a nationwide mobile hair cutting empire by now (ain't stupid, nevermind what the stereotypes say). Get thee to the yellow pages.

edit: damn it all what's with the lack of strikethru?

[G]

want bananas strike through?

My old barbers used to be a proper(ish) barbers. Big fat guy with a handlebar moustache, tall thin guy with grey hair and the middle aged greaser (think greased lightning). Used to have classic car mags and the like. And because I was a kid I got a free fruit salad sweet at the end

Then a hgv ran straight into the fuckin shop and got it closed for a year. And I started doing it myself. Need new clippers as my pair just died and ill be fucked if I'm paying £8 for a number 2 all over again by some poncey twat with gloss black furniture all over the place. Theiving gits.

Rent for a shop is about 18 to 20 k a year, depending on location and area.

8 quid is a lot, but they need to do quite a few to pay the rent, then the bills for waste, electricity, water and wages. Clippers, scissors and hair products cost too.

Everything adds up really.

Anyway, I have cut my own since 2007 and prefer it.
