darkpagandeath

Thought the Hitler youth haircut was the fashion now ?

GenieOz

Balding men everywhere are rejoicing at the fact the combover is finally in fashion.

Honestly laugh at people intentionally giving themself that look, all influenced from geordie shore of all things, gobshítes.

Live and let live, ye miserable gits!

I blame One Direction.

Whatever it is I blame One Direction.

Twats. It serves you right for going to a barbers that caters for these characters. I used to go to one in Barrack Street in Cork and I swear to God I never saw him use a scissors in three years as everyone in there was getting a buzz cut.

Eircom_Sucks

Im not bald , but whats that got to do with the price of chips ?

Bieber benders , skinny jeans and slip on slipper type shoes , no socks , jeans to short lol

I shave it then grow for 6 months then shave again. From Ross Kemp to Harry Styles then back again. Cost me 20 quid for an electric shaver years ago.
How much is a haircut these days?

I saw a grown man out with his kids today sporting a Vanilla Ice. I felt embarrassed for them.

Apparently all these young people use outré hairstyles and clothes to project an individual persona to wider society and alienate older citizens and other authority figures.

Can anybody confirm this?

Frosty McSnowballs

1.5 blade around the side and back, square the fcuk out of it, raise the locks, trim on top. None of this fancy schmancy lark!

That's how Fancy Pants rolls.

There used to be a Barber in my town called Jemmie when you sat in the chair he would ask "which do ya want, square or modern?"

Karl Stein

What ever next? They'll be drinking soda from the bottle and spending all their money on jukeboxes and shiny belt buckles.

Society is on the verge of collapse.

They had one lock hired and one lock lowered by the sound of things.

I havnt noticed any offensive haircuts in honesty. Dont they all just have a trucker cap on sideways with a lip or ear piercing.

Im noticeing a few extras from "This is England" about lately. I just thought there was a Danny Boyle convention or something.

minidazzler

I sit in the chair, he says "same as?" I say yes... If I ever had to change barbers I wouldn't know how to explain how he should cut my hair.

'Now that's a haircut you could set your watch by' abe Simpson. im the same,short back and sides all the way,if you want to shell out for something fancy its much better spent on pants.

Who cares if you find a particular fashion distasteful OP?
Why not simply mind your own fecking business?

darkpagandeath

Maybe it was the Barracks you were in and need to go to specsavers

Vito Corleone

When I get a haircut I go in and ask for "a trim". Anyone who goes into further detail than that or a number is a cacafuego!

Oh the difference between men's and women's hairdressing establishments. :pac: I love spending ages at the hairdresser - it's a treat!

Barracks is up the other side of town to Barrack Street for some reason.

This is incorrect. It is done to project their sameness to each other. They are oblivious to wider society. Thank you.

You're one of them

I do mind my business but it takes the piss getting this done when it takes ages to do em

Molester Stallone

It's the "go faster" stripes & "waffle iron" hairstyles of young males of a certain ethnic minority that make me laugh, Vanilla Ice do's are glorious compared to that rubbish

MadsL

Haven't had a haircut in 2.5 years. Bloody hippies taking a stand.

I think that 'Barracks' as it pertains to 'Barrack Street' refers to Elizabeth Fort.

Well worth a visit for the views out over the city.

Agreed - I'd even say it's done to project their sameness to some hair-stylistically historical figure such as the aforementioned Vanilla Ice whose short lived fame was established before their birth and that they hope by channeling some measure of credibility will be afforded them beyond their otherwise clueless years. Or something. At any rate I doubt there have been many genuinely original hair styles since em - the crimper?

I'm not 'one of them'. Don't have a "cool" haircut or clothes or anything.
It wouldn't be my style either but it really doesn't bother me how people choose to style themselves, whatever their motivations.

Calibos

They joined the ranks of the other 100 million strong 'individualist' male fashionistas. (I think I puked a little in my mouth even typing the word fashionista!)

The Backwards Man

Not a single menyion of Spike Milligan or Harry Seycombe. What's wrong with you people?

What are the rest of us doing?

Frank Lee Midere

There used to be far more hair styles back in the day. I recall the 80's but dimly but it was an era where the short haired mixed with the punk, the long haired hippy or arty student, the blow dried, the shaved and the cut at home by mammy. To name but few.

Now it's all short and mammy cut.

Yeah. The op is old.

I go to a rural hair salon, it is full of old women getting perms and they usually say that I have a quare head of hair, usually when they see it lying on the floor being swept up, these old lassies seem to know me and my family but i don't know them
