    2. The moment they say "where did you get it cut last time"you know for a fact what they really mean to say is 'Did your deaf, blind and slightly epiletic cousin grab the closest blunted blade and cut your hair, because if not maybe she should have done,its a mess

    to which you reply "here"
    that'll keep 'em quiet for the rest of the time...
    anyone remember the story in Leaving Cert Irish called An Philibin... about a family that became rich and the barber cut all yer man's hair off and just left a small tuft on the top of his head.... i just remembered that reading this thred... so on second thought, like the waiter can spit in yer soup, don't piss off the hairdresser... they can get you back

    I have been given so much advice by hairdressers on how to take care of my excessively curly hair that just does not work.

    "We'll layer it, it'll look better and be easier to comb"
    "I'm going to take out the layers, you need to let your hair be weighed down so it doesn't get frizzy"
    "Use loads of conditioner and leave some in after you wash it"
    "Use hardly any conditioner"
    "Use hairspray"
    "Use gel"
    "Use mousse" etc.

    I did once get my hair cut by a hairdresser who also had curly hair and she just said not to brush it except when it's wet and to mix serum in with mousse to get rid of the sticky mousse feeling. Best advice yet.

    Haven't gone to a hairdressers in about...2 years or so. I like my hair long, and it's so much less bother

    3. You get what you pay for IMO. I used to go down to the local barber and i walked out unhappy every time. Decided to splash out a bit and went to a fancy one, never looked back. They do a great job every time, so ill just keep going there, simple.

    Yeah i'd agree with that. I once went into a barbers and the cut cost me €8....never ever again!!!
    That would have to be once of the most crappy cuts i ever got, was damn right embarrassing looking. Though thankfully my hair grows very fast and i wasn't in agony for long

    Go to a good place and you won't be disappointed

    Nope, I don't share your fear Piggy because I love the whole barber experience. I think you just need to find a new barber/hairdresser that is actually half decent. There ya go, problem solved. ;)

    I always go to the one down the road. The one with the busty blonde with the short arms. I always ask her to do my fringe at least twice.;)

    Rubs hands on thighs under hairdressers smock.

    And then you have to stand up.

    Who wants to pitch a tent in the hairdressers?



    Thats a rhetorical question.
