Would you men get your hair cut in a salon.

Finding a good stylist is a huge weight off the shoulders. Think about how many times you've been let down by inconsistent haircuts. If like me, you tend to have medium length messy style hair you are better to invest in a stylist over your run of the mill barber.

The key is to find a good one and that's trial and error unfortunately. About 5 months ago I found an American bloke who came from a family of hairdressers and had years of experience in Atlanta before moving to Prague and opened his own salon. This background info was important and pointed towards good stock. Always do a bit of research on a new stylist and look at his testimonies.

Now this guy has turned out to be a revelation and most important of all he is not one of these get you in and out as quick as possible merchants. That used to boil my piss about a lot of guys. He gradually works through the cut and assesses it as we go. That way you don't end up scalped which can often happen with a disinterested stylist.

At the end of the cut once I am satisfied he takes some photos on his Ipad and uses it as a reference point for next time as well as being a client database of sorts.

This sort of attention to detail is worth the extra money. He charges 500kc which converted to euros is 20 quid. Expensive by Prague standards but always safe in the knowledge that it will be a job well done.

Go to a barber myself - costs €15 plus tip once a month (blade 3 back n sides with scissors on top)

Have tried several others over the years as I've moved around but still end up going back to the same place

This thing of head massages, newspaper and coffee does sound nice though!

Depending on your style, on the hairdresser. Just like barbers, there is good and bad stylists.
But a good hairdresser wont cut your hair as good as a good barber. Mens hair isn't there strong point.
