Myla and Davis

[Tanza]

Just had a baffling phone conversation with hairdresser Myla and Davis in Northcross road - trying (and failing) to book a haircut for a 13-year old boy at the weekend.

They won't take a booking at a weekend with a child - even if the customer is happy to pay a full-price adult haircut for that child. I've never known a hairdresser actually turn a full-paying customer away on the basis of age.

They must be doing well if they can afford to be so strict on their no-kid policy at weekends. I'm genuinely puzzled.

I get the fact that hairdressers can't justify cheaper kids haircuts in peak time - but I've never had a hairdresser refuse to take an adult fee for a kid before. Their business, their rules, of course. Odd though.

Try the barbers in Dulwich Village - Porters - you can walk in without a booking and they will probably be loads cheaper too! They are also fantastic - my son goes there.

Thank you for that tip re Porters. Funnily enough a friend just recommended Porters to me - her teenage son goes there and lots of his school friends too. Wasn't on my radar. A walk-in hairdresser sounds ideal. Thanks.
