We have a barbers in my local town that attracts customers from other towns. A couple of years ago it stated £4 on the window, but they charged £3 for a quick clippers cut. I believe they now state £7 on the window, but can charge £5 for quick cut. They even cut eyebrows so they finish too quick, we don't want to look like Dennis Healey 🤣🤣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It was spit and sawdust but you were guaranteed a good laugh. When Steve packed it in Taylor took it over and out went the team photos from the wall and it was done up like a nightclub closet. I tried it once, got charged about 50% more and started going to Nigel Coulson’s on West Street. That was cheap enough but it had a high staff turnover. The owner would show up, empty the till and disappear again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
