Because my hairdresser, Verity, retired from salon cutting to go exclusively catwalk/shoot I've found a new hairdresser just around the corner from me who does the cut for £10, is ex-catwalk but didn't like the bullshit and turns out he cuts the hair of several boys I know besides doing Weird Shit to the local despatch rider cohort. Also it turns out that they've got all the shopfitting from the old Italian barber who used to be on the same little street (and if you've ever seen the sleeve for Nick's single Hairstyle of the Devil, THAT is the barber I'm talking about).

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.

RJG has the best haircut. Period.

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

Got mine cut yesterday at a rather nice joint in London Bridge under the Hays Galleria. I forget what its called but I bin there a couple of times now and the guy who cuts it is a real dude. Plus its very swish and you get a nice wash and everything with a cup of cha for 20 bar. Was looking 100% Garage Rock prior to cut and quite liking it but now it's nearly tidy, cos I have a wedding to go to on Saturday. Not sure about the whole thing just yet cos it's at that stage where it's all new and needs to grow out a little and get a little messy.

okay new yorkers, we've talked about a lot of things here, but we haven't really talked about this, oh fuck it, where do you get your hair cut? (i'm all about the low budget, used to go to Hoshi Coupe on east 9th st., but recently changed to Hair Mates on third near astor place. Am still anticpating my first coloring.

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 11 April 2003 16:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'm not getting my haircut til about June probably.

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 11 April 2003 17:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

my girlfriend cuts my hair

and it's FREE fuckers

i hear matos is writing a feature on nyc shaving joints...

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 11 April 2003 17:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

the last place I got my hair cut was in Queens, I went in because it has a neon sign advertising it as "The Home of the Fade" (I did not get a fade). $7 + $2 tip.

― hstencil, Friday, 11 April 2003 17:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

three months pass...

i just got my haircut on monday. i look so freshy minty and not like mullet-in-the-making.

― Tad (llamasfur), Saturday, 9 August 2003 21:12 (twenty years ago) link

i got mine on tuesday. was tricky with having grown a beard recently and all. didn't want it too short. i think its OK.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Saturday, 9 August 2003 21:18 (twenty years ago) link

I got mine cut on wednesday.

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 (RJG), Saturday, 9 August 2003 21:21 (twenty years ago) link

i'm going gray, too. i was shocked when i looked down and saw all of them. i'm like, "i'm gonna look like steve martin!"

― Tad (llamasfur), Saturday, 9 August 2003 21:25 (twenty years ago) link

How often do people go for a haircut? I'm thinking, 2 weeks into this new one, about going for another. I usually leave it 6-8 weeks but I'm in that post-relationship effort haze. (At £4.50 a pop this is manageable though, I suppose. Maybe.)

― David. (Cozen), Saturday, 9 August 2003 21:31 (twenty years ago) link

mine cost twenty pounds in the end and it only confused me.

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 9 August 2003 21:33 (twenty years ago) link

i went 5 months (!) between this one and the last one. i usually get a haircut once every 2 months, esp. during the spring and summer.

― Tad (llamasfur), Saturday, 9 August 2003 21:35 (twenty years ago) link

i need a haircut too. i want something cute but i can't find any decent pictures.

RJG, your hairdresser sounds crazy.

― sand.y, Saturday, 9 August 2003 21:39 (twenty years ago) link

Do people take pictures along with them to the hairdressers?

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. (Cozen), Saturday, 9 August 2003 21:40 (twenty years ago) link

i've never taken a picture in the like, 5+ years i've been going to the girl who cuts my hair. but recently, she's been doing an 80's thing, and last time she gave me a really awful undercut. so i am going to change hairdressers and bring pictures to avoid hairdresser disasters.

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

― sand.y, Saturday, 9 August 2003 21:44 (twenty years ago) link

That will end in (my / someone else's) tears, sand.y.

― David. (Cozen), Saturday, 9 August 2003 21:49 (twenty years ago) link

i still can't picture what colour you mean. i am imagining the same colour hair as glimmer from she-ra.

― sand.y, Saturday, 9 August 2003 21:54 (twenty years ago) link

one month passes...

bump

gareth where is your "usual place" anyway?

i miss charles li, my gay asian hair master

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 8 October 2003 09:45 (twenty years ago) link

four months pass...

i woke up this morning and fear that i'm getting close to a mullet. suzy, did you say there's a good and cheap place that you love? help! don't want to pay £40 for a trim...

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 4 March 2004 15:59 (twenty years ago) link

Chris (my ex-catwalk barber pal) is working in a little barbers' called The Pleasant in Rosebery Avenue, next to Antoni and Alison shop. He's awesome, but his colleagues are freaked by girls who aren't referrals so if you go in, say you're looking for Chris and I said he'd be the guy to sort it out. He is the only one there who is not an old guy, cuts are £8 but I just give him £10, and please in all seriousness do not let anyone else in the shop touch your hair. Gareth did not heed my advice on this point and came out of there with a non-Shoreditch mullet courtesy one of the old duffers.

― suzy (suzy), Thursday, 4 March 2004 16:14 (twenty years ago) link

i will take your advice. does he work weekends? it would be so nice to get a haircut on saturday.

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 4 March 2004 17:24 (twenty years ago) link

no haircut since june! I've saved at least a fiver!

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 4 March 2004 17:48 (twenty years ago) link

I'm not sure about Saturday, but you could always swing by over a lunch, since your nice friend works next door (he's a 9-6 man). I think my last Chris haircut took 20 minutes.

― suzy (suzy), Thursday, 4 March 2004 17:51 (twenty years ago) link

ooh, that's a good idea! maybe next week.

i went past it on the bus tonight and my friend starting giggling since it's called 'gents hairdressers'...

― colette (a2lette), Friday, 5 March 2004 00:34 (twenty years ago) link

i am finally getting my hair cut today, after not having it cut since june!!

two months pass...

I'm getting a haircut on Tuesday for the first time in four years. Nothing drastic, but I haven't used this stylist before and I'm very nervous. Basically I want my hair to look like this

http://www.kanga.nu/~mirror/mirrors/lorry.org/scrapbook/new/keri-russell1.jpg

with a little bit of this

http://www.lookalikesbychar.com/photos1001/nicole.jpeg

which all told isn't that diff from what I have now, but it could look better, y'know? plus i really need a trim at this point.

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 20 May 2004 14:05 (nineteen years ago) link

yay, i just got back from the wonderful ILX barber...i love him. he makes me happy...

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 20 May 2004 14:18 (nineteen years ago) link

there is an ilx barber?

sometimes i think i have come very far in recent times, but, then, i read a thread like this, and i am in just the same place as i was on the 4th november, 2002

― gareth (gareth), Thursday, 20 May 2004 14:19 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm about to have my usual haircut crisis again. I need a haircut but all the places in my neighborhood are either salons that charge at least $60 or the Hair Cuttery. No middle ground. I will probably end up getting a shitty Hair Cuttery haircut again.

― NA (Nick A.), Thursday, 20 May 2004 14:24 (nineteen years ago) link

I have found hair equanimity. There is a place across the street from my house ('house') with decent hours that charges only a quarter of the most I've ever paid and at which I've had moderately successful communication and results with three different random people. Also, I share two names with it.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Thursday, 20 May 2004 14:31 (nineteen years ago) link

gareth, the ILX barber is the one you went to but got the old man to accidentally cut your hair instead of hip young guy. from what i hear, of course.

i love it that you give him £10 and he gives you £3 back. which is, of course, his tip. good haircut and generous tip for £10? i'm in love...

― colette (a2lette), Thursday, 20 May 2004 14:35 (nineteen years ago) link

I got my haircut at last minute at a semi-posh salon rather than the usual barbers the other day. They fit me in that afternoon (a saturday) and it turned out the guy who cut my hair lives down my road and isn't gay so i managed to avoid conversations about "fabulous" things etc. I got a free beer and he only charged me £10 instead of the usual £16 cos he new me. Refused to give me change too so I couldn't even tip the fella. Top one!

ay new yorkers, we've talked about a lot of things here, but we haven't really talked about this, oh fuck it, where do you get your hair cut?

just got my hair cut here and they did a fantastic job. not cheap, but really not that bad for a we-do-models upper east side salon.

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 22:08 (nineteen years ago) link

i was a mudhoney client from '99 until this year, when my beloved genius brendan left for another salon. i still recommend them, though - bethany at the sullivan street location for men clara at the bond street location for both men and women.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 22:56 (nineteen years ago) link

i need a haircut so bad!!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 23:16 (nineteen years ago) link

i cut my own hair these days. i suppose i shouldn't be surprised that people regard me with fear and suspicion

― the surface noise made by people (electricsound), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 23:30 (nineteen years ago) link

and now i think the time has come to cut my hair once again. i almost got it cut, the other day. but today, there is no going back

― charltonlido (gareth), Thursday, 27 May 2004 15:10 (nineteen years ago) link

i got a haircut, i dont know how i feel about it just yet

― charltonlido (gareth), Thursday, 27 May 2004 20:55 (nineteen years ago) link

one year passes...

and here we are again

i still dont know where to go. i hate them all

― terry lennox. (gareth), Saturday, 10 September 2005 11:21 (eighteen years ago) link

you should DIY, gareth

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Saturday, 10 September 2005 12:45 (eighteen years ago) link

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

― Crackity (Crackity Jones), Saturday, 10 September 2005 16:08 (eighteen years ago) link

ok im going to take a picture in this time. but i need to find a picture of someone with the hair that i want. i saw a hipster guy with great hair the other day, kind of choppy and over to one side. ack, im no good at descriptions

― terry lennox. (gareth), Sunday, 11 September 2005 17:50 (eighteen years ago) link
