I NEVER get the haircut I want. Maybe I should hack at my fringe a bit, see what happens...

I need a haircut. I will probably wait until December when I go back to CA.

I can HIGHLY RECOMMEND the salon located in North Finchley(London). They have Artistic Team that doing shows;teaching Classsic/Creative Cutting in Goldwell Academy. I`m sure any of them will give you something that will suit you even if you don`t know what you want.
Salon name is LEXINGTONS, its 5 star salon but prices not too expensive: man haircut with finish is £25. You will see their fashion directions from their work displayed and video playing from the last show; plus all of them are very friendly. I get great hairstyles every time!

― Tamara, Wednesday, 21 September 2005 10:12 (eighteen years ago) link

Tamara, do you work for them by any chance? ;-)

Seriously. I need a haircut. I'm getting desperate. I might even go to Tony and sodding Guy.

My bandmates (not Anna, the other two) keep swearing by their super-Amazing Japanese stylist, but never put me in touch.

― The Brocade Fire (kate), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 10:40 (eighteen years ago) link

My hair is optimal fringe length now, but horrendously shit sides + back. However I don't want to go to a salon because they can't understand the words "leave the fucking fringe alone"

― tissp! (the impossible shortest specia), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 10:42 (eighteen years ago) link

what is the most any man should ever pay for a haircut?

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 10:42 (eighteen years ago) link

I find that grabbing it and holding it generally does the trick.

(I am forever trying to keep scissors away from fringe. However,it's got ridiculous now - beyond Scottish Cow phase and into "might as well have long hair all round" phrase now.)

― The Brocade Fire (kate), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 10:43 (eighteen years ago) link

I considered applying duct tape to it before going.

― tissp! (the impossible shortest specia), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 10:44 (eighteen years ago) link

I need a haircut too. Actually I've needed one for about a year...still don't know what I want though, to keep it longish or to go for another wedge-like bob. Sadly, I can't handle a fringe it seems.

― sgs (sgs), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 10:46 (eighteen years ago) link

Whatever happened to the girly night hairdressing party we were going to have?

Oh yeah, we couldn't find the time to do it before the next gig, which is when I need mine hairs cut by.

― The Brocade Fire (kate), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 10:47 (eighteen years ago) link

Wear a top hat.

― tissp! (the impossible shortest specia), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 10:47 (eighteen years ago) link

i went to that place on rosebery avenue that suzy recommends. it turned out ok

― terry lennox. (gareth), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 10:52 (eighteen years ago) link

I thought they only did male hair and short hair. (I do not want short hair.)

Also I need a stylist or a colourist at the least because I want to put in tiger stripes. Tabby stripes are too tame for me now.

― The Brocade Fire (kate), Wednesday, 21 September 2005 10:56 (eighteen years ago) link

two weeks pass...

So I have an appointment for a haircut at 5 today. This gives me about 3 hours to decide wtf I want...gah I'm indecisive! I always grow my hair out thinking that I'll do interesting things with it etc but then only ever do the minimum to get it out of the way. How do other people decide to change their style?

― sgs (sgs), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 11:30 (eighteen years ago) link

I decide to change my style upon seeing pop stars with the look that I want. (Except for the tabby/tiger stripes, that was inspired by g-kit's comments.) Whatever you do, do NOT pick your new style out of the books that they have sitting there for that purpose, because then it will be an impulse decision and you will end up with a mullet or something horrible!

Funny to see that comment there because I am still so happy with my new hair, I'm pleased every time I see it in the mirror.

― Paranoid Spice (kate), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 11:38 (eighteen years ago) link

argh no mullet for me ever! I've given up trying to have bangs/fringe so I don't think there's a danger of that.

― sgs (sgs), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 11:42 (eighteen years ago) link

I think the wedge/eton schoolboy thing would probably look very cute on you? (Or perhaps that's projection because I've always wanted that hairstyle but my hair is too wavey.)

― Paranoid Spice (kate), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 11:45 (eighteen years ago) link

My style changes gradually. I rarely get it cut the same way twice and generally agree to whatever (subtle) changes my hairdresser wants to make. I've gone from very short to a jaw-length bob in the last year and hardly noticed it happening. I think I let the hairdresser get away with this because I am no good at picking a style to suit me, so I'd be rubbish at suggesting for you too Sarah, sorry!

― Mädchen (Madchen), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 11:49 (eighteen years ago) link

I need a hairdresser now. I got pissed off with my hair last night and took the kitchen scissors to it. It's doesn't look bad. I came into my current workplace and no one mocked me or even noticed a change (the advantages of an office full of men), but it could be better.

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 12:15 (eighteen years ago) link

I would reccomend the Shimura Stylist, but she's quite expensive.

― Paranoid Spice (kate), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 12:16 (eighteen years ago) link

See what you think later on.

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 12:43 (eighteen years ago) link

Also, bring your job application and we will fill it out for you!

― Paranoid Spice (kate), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 12:45 (eighteen years ago) link

It's not a form. Any job I go for always requires feature ideas and a critique of the magazine. I've only ever filled in a job application form once in my entire life.

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 12:47 (eighteen years ago) link

Plus, it doesn't feel very sporting to pick AMP's brains for journo jobs, even if it's a commissioning position.

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 12:47 (eighteen years ago) link

Damn. I mean, I could come up with those for you, too, but they'd probably be really rubbish. x-post

― Paranoid Spice (kate), Wednesday, 5 October 2005 12:48 (eighteen years ago) link

i GOT a haircut and you can't tell! (stomps off cussing yosemite sam style)

― ai lien (kold_krush), Saturday, 8 October 2005 18:16 (eighteen years ago) link

Anyone in NYC have a favorite stylist? I need recommendations -- someone who can do long layers better than just technically-adequate (or I'd save myself the trouble and go back to Beehive). Preferably in the range of $80 or less. My split ends thank you.

― Laurel, Saturday, 8 October 2005 18:34 (eighteen years ago) link

bumble and bumble are good at the layering thing, and if you go with a more junior stylist it'll be under $100. plus both of the salons are architectural wonders, and if you go to the w.13th st branch in the early evening you can watch the sun set over the hudson as you get your cut.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 10 October 2005 11:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Does anyone know where I can get a nice haircut for less than a million dollars in New York? I'm willing to pay about $40, but can't go much above that. I have a ton of layers and do not want this fucked up.

― Laura H. (laurah), Monday, 10 October 2005 12:16 (eighteen years ago) link

call b&b and see if you can get in to a training session. you need to have free time during the day to do this, but it's worth it. vidal does it as well, but they generally like to do drastic changes.

a few weeks ago there was a piece on s4lly h3rshb3rg3r, the woman who gave meg ryan and jennifer aniston their signature looks, and it mentioned that her cuts are now over $600.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 10 October 2005 12:22 (eighteen years ago) link

My free bumble and bumble haircut was awesome! the result of the free stlying session was not but a) it washes out and b) I got free stuff.

Re cheap places to get a haircut in NYC, try any of the Japanese pseudo-chains in the East Village and beyond, including:

1. Hoshi Coupe, east 9th street, around $40 and
2. Hair Mates, 3rd ave, similar

Or, he specializes in girls' short hair, but can do anything

3. Crops for Girls, Orchard St, $15 for student; $30 otherwise

i can't recommend shaving your head enough

― strng hlkngtn: what does it mean? (dubplatestyle), Monday, 10 October 2005 15:21 (eighteen years ago) link

Shaving own head not an option (it's about to be winter and my brain would freeze), although I am partial to that treatment in the opposite sex so I'm with ya there.

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 10 October 2005 15:32 (eighteen years ago) link

women shaving their heads as well would bring us closer to a borg-esque world of no beauty standards

― strng hlkngtn: what does it mean? (dubplatestyle), Monday, 10 October 2005 15:35 (eighteen years ago) link

unless we started judging people based on the shape and texture of their heads.

― strng hlkngtn: what does it mean? (dubplatestyle), Monday, 10 October 2005 15:36 (eighteen years ago) link

which we almost certainly would

Haven't we already seen that movie? Phrenology to thread.

Japanese hairstylists are A++, thanks Mary.

Positioning and diameter of scalp moles and head-polyps will open new horizons of desire and sexual regimenting

two years pass...

What kind of haircut should I get? For reference, my hair looks like this:

Suggested joke response photos: weird mohawk! Puerto-Rican afro! Clown wig!

― Hurting 2, Wednesday, 23 January 2008 22:15 (sixteen years ago) link

also please give me ideas of how to actually explain the haircut to the stylist (I am incredibly bad at this), and also tell me good moderately-priced places to go in NYC.

― Hurting 2, Wednesday, 23 January 2008 22:19 (sixteen years ago) link

i'm seeing THE ROCK, a little
