i need a haircut

hair by fairy is pretty cool - especially for the price. I've never had a panic-inducing, disasterous haircut there. but it scares me how super-fast they are.

i got one of the worst haircuts of my adult life at CUTS. i don't know if it was just the guy who was cutting my hair, but jesus, it was totally beyond repair.

actually, i got one of my bestest haircuts ever at the toni and guy academy...for FREE.

this is reminding me of how badly i need a haircut. i've been trying to grow it for the past 6 months, but it just looks fucking awful. i think i'm just gonna cut it all off again.

on the radio this morning, they were talking about hairstle trends for the summer-- we can all look forward to seeing 'cutout shapes from the scalpline and part'. so that whole 'i accidenally took chunks out of my hair out by using kitchen scissors' look is in!

i go to the 'cutting bar' in islington. £5. but it's a bit of a crapshoot, since there's two guys that are pretty decent, and everyone else seems to be learning still.

Last time Kate went to Hair by Fairy they didn't do her colour as well as they might have, by her own admission (I thought it looked good) so I think we will be sending her to Hair by Chris.

Mine on the other hand is getting thin. My quiff is built on quicksand :-(

and it's FREE fuckers

the dude shaved, like, twelve hairs at the front of my hairline. they weren't sticking out or grown in a funny place or anything. now they're short and will grow in to be shorter than the rest of the front.

why would he do that? I cannot think.

otherwise it's fine.

RJG, your hairdresser sounds crazy.

I'm seriously thinking of having my hair dyed platinum silver-purple (I'll try find a pic) - is this a good idea and how expensive will that cost me?

David, you could probably dye it that colour at home?!

charles li hair salon, e. 19th st just west of 1st ave, on the north side of the street -- you wont' regret it

indeed

I think I might get my hair cut like Hitler's again. You know, for the lulz.

where do you all go in london these days? been going to stamp on bethnal green road, it's decent but i never feel like they deserve 30 quid, not least cos the staff change so often you hardly have the same person twice, hence no conversation or memory of who you are.

has anyone got their haircut by toni and guy students for 5 quid or whatever or is this just an urban myth? sounds good...

a few friends of mine have done the toni and guy student thing - it's not always good, apparently (a friend had a four-hour 'haircut' that mostly was some trainee cackhandedly straightening her hair after cutting about half an inch off and leaving a bunch of split ends in). but i guess at free or five pounds of whatever it is you can always just get it fixed later if necc.

there is a really good place called 'studio stage door' in muswell hill, mostly staffed by japanese people, not dreadfully expensive and all the haircuts i've seen from there look good and wear well. on the other hand, fuck muswell hill.

Yeah otm, it is a bit far. I don't even mind spending 30 quid or whatever because hair is an item of clothing you wear daily! Like a smile! Just want to feel they deserve the 30 quid. My old hairdresser might ask "what have we done to make you leave?" to which I would say "what have you done to make me stay"

Been going to 'enry 'iggins on flask walk NW3 for the past couple of years and it's doing me very nicely. Cool, but not intimidatingly cool.
