Last I looked both bars operated at similar prices?

Of course its not genuine Japanese.

I'd be surprised if it was big enough for Wagamama

Jon

What other chain has popped up? I can't think of any indie that has been replaced by a chain in years.

A very astute observation.


However, people have been banging on for at least ten years about chains taking over. What have we got... Cafe Nero, Oliver Bonas, Gourmet Burger... that's about it I think.

But neither Foxtons or Picture House took over their site from independent shops. Franco Manca is taking over the site from another small chain. I get the point of course, but nevertheless, the prediction of "indies squeezed out by chains" has not really materialised yet to any significant extent.

" the prediction of "indies squeezed out by chains" has not really materialised yet to any significant extent."


this is ultimately true, to date. Helped by the small unit sizes 9as many people have said over the years)


And yet, and yet.... change is in the air I think

Exactly-- no indie has been taken over by a chain. And there are really very few large chains.

    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
