Em Dott Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I can't be the only one that dreads this?So I have to find a new regular barbers seeing as my last barber tried to cheat me out of £2. So after 2 years of unrewarded loyalty, I'm on the search again.It's the thing of trying a new guy and hoping that he does it right. You have no idea what coiuld happen, and all you know is that if he takes one part too low, the rest has to follow. Tried one guy in Coventry, and he did not do a good job. Made me have to shave off my goatie and tash because of his butter fingers.Just come back from one in Tottenham. Shape up is alright just about, but I won't be going back there.Now I'm on the search again.But yeah, I'm sure I'm not the only one that dreads this?PS: Any North man been to one barbers on Church Street/Winchester Road (Edmonton). Need to know what it's saying as I might try there next. And anyone been to Sams Unisex barbers by Camden Road station? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubby Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hated this.The one on Winchester is decent, but it used to be better with the old owners (when Rollout and them man were the barbers), found out where he moved to and got trims from him about a month or 2 after the change, but he has since moved. Apparently the new barbers take the piss now charging £8 (used to be £6). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I even fell out with my own barber. Man used to charge me £3 as standar, but when I come in for a shape up after cutting my own hair he wants to charge me £5 (for what he called a shape up and shave) like it's normal.

Dubby Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I dunno man, haven't been there since last year. I never got shape ups but I think it was £3 for a shape up, £7 for a trim, n £8 for trim and facial hair shape up. But this was last year's price, I'm pretty sure it would have changed by now.

The one that barbers usually shape up and shave with.I have been going over my line up every few days after my fresh cut, preserving the fine line and shaving.I now only go to the barbers every 2.5 - 3 weeks.Back on the topic though, I don't know any barbers in North, but Bliss in Clapham junction is the one for me.

I remember back in the day when it was £7 for everything for even adults. That is why I bought the Andis shaving clippers so that I shape up by myself, and only go to the barbers for a full hair cut and shave.

Angelo Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Where you buy the Andis from? And how much?Man who does mine is some italian guy called Mario.Probably the best guy I've ever had.I really feel to start trying the shape by myself coz my man only works til 7, but I'm afraid I might slip up and come like alopecia keys.
