Evening all.


Being a new ED resident I'm currently in the process of trying to establish a regular place to get my hair cut. Somewhere that offers good value, decent chat, a smiling face and above all a good end result.


Having paid ?15 at a local barbers a month ago I was happy with what I got but thought I'd see what else was on offer in ED. So, I popped in to a place that was rammed and thought I'd see what all the fuss was about. However, what I received was a 10 minute (if that) cut with an Eastern European girl that literally said about 5 words and didn't smile once. And, much to my dismay I was charged ?30 for the privilege! Is it me or is ?30 a b***dy lot to be paying for what was in essence a short back and sides? Do places really expect zero customer service and for us to keep coming back??? Anyone know a good place (?20 tops) in ED??

Did she have more than one sock on?

Didn't you ask the price first?! If you're talking about the place on L Lane with the "coiffure" sign outside - I'm pretty sure the prices are in the window. Can't think of anywhere else in ED which would charge you over ?20 for a men's cut in ED.


"The Clipper" on Northcross Rd is fine for basic short back and sides, as is the Barry Road barbers. Can't say I was impressed with Headnizm though.

I usually go to clipper on NXrd, but had first bad cut there last week so am not singing its praises as i normally would - 10 mins of having my head thrown around rather forcefully and much too short but as started with big clipper-buzz to side of head was really no going back... but first time that's happened. Normally does the job, about ?15.

Yeah, I still think of it as Segers. Been going in there since I was a nipper.

Oh, oh, oh UnderhillOliver. Let me tell you a story.


Bellenden Belle didn't have a chance to go to her favourite GM stylist before Christmas and so instead went to one of Manchester's finest establishments, "as recommended by Tatler magazine".


I paid ?95.


Did anyone notice? Anyone?


No one.


A girl could weep.

?20 per month compared to my ?100 every 2-3 months... doesn't quite balance. But then if I stuck to the hair cut and put up wit the grey it would probably work.


I'm sure we get lots of extra costs elsewhere though. Men get to wear socks instead of tights, that's got to be a major saving surely??

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
