Morning all 🙂

i was having some more work done on my tattoo this morning, and I also needed a haircut. As the weather is rubbish and I didn't fancy a 40 minute drive to the hairdressers I went to the barbers next door to the tattoo shop, as I only needed the back and sides shaved to a zero I thought I'd give it a go.

The result is the same as if I'd have gone to the hairdressers, but my question is, what is the difference between the two. I asked my dad and he said "about 8 quid son" - thanks dad 🙂

that is the only difference I can see really to be fair, plus the barbers was a bit more down market (at the risk of sounding a snob).

So do any of you boys know the difference?
 
Don't frequent either establishments. Not been to the barbers since I splashed out on some trimmers about 10 years ago. Get a zero every 6 weeks and a buff up with some brasso.
 
Depends on your hairstyle, if you have the buzz cut, barbers and a chopping board,

For me, I have got quite short hair at the moment but I go to the hairdressers once every 3 months! costs £15, but by the time I go my hair is quite long but still looks good.

For years I went to a chop shop (barber) and spent more in the long run because my hair was a state.
