I had a miserable time at that age and older because my parents had my hair cut (and in those days permed :( ) at a small local hairdresser who was more used to giving old ladies shampoo and sets, and certainly had little idea about cutting.


Most of my classmates went to a more upmarket salon elsewhere. They were quite kind but I was on occasion teased because of my hair.


I would say that if her parents can afford to pay that, and it gives her confidence in her appearance, what on earth is wrong with that?


A lack of confidence at thirteen can stay with you an awful long time.

There are many places in the world where the best on offer is a relative with a basin! It's not for me to question how anyone spends their money but let me say this. How on earth would some of you cope if the creature comforts were taken away? It's just hair. Thank goodness my two have no such issues.

I wasn't suggesting somebody might lack confidence in later life because they remembered having crap hair at thirteen :))


I meant that once you have a lack of confidence for whatever reason, it is often hard to regain it.


And Blah Blah, if your children are teenage girls they are very lucky if they have "no such issues."


It is not very fair to talk about "many places in the world". We are living in East Dulwich, and so presumably is the OP's daughter. That's a bit like saying we should all starve because people are starving elsewhere :(


Anyway, I still highly recommend Shingo at Kuki, rather than washing your daughter's hair with soap and then chopping at it with a pair of nail scissors :))

I get your view Sue (and never meant to belittle yours or anyone elses experience), but I also stick by my view that my son and daughter have no such 'issues'. They would never be traumatised by something as insignificant as an unhappy haircut. Hair grows, and we can change stylist. Being a bloke I go to the barbers and they are cheaper than what ladies seem to have to pay. Never understood that personally.


Edited to say that my wife has just told me I am such a knob :D

I pay about 45 quid for a haircut. Short back and sides. My mates with their 10 quid Turkish trims are usually incredulous. But it's worth it at hipster Blue Tit because:


- They will play obscure electronica before beat mixing into Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler.


- You get a beer or wine.


- The chairs are really uncomfortable but it doesn't matter because they are original 1950's and imported from America.

:)) :)) :))


The first time I went to Kuki, they were playing a Davy Graham album. I had to go back after that, never mind the hair cut :))


And they have a chair which massages you as you're getting your hair washed with your feet up.


Not very hipster but very soothing .....

Yet another recommendation for Kuki. I've had hair cut by Shingo and a nice woman (Amy?) and have been very happy w/ service and result every time. Really reasonable too. Much better than the other places round here - I remember having horrible experiences as a teenager similar to the one described by OP in GMs, Headnizm and Willis B. Kuki for the win!
Have you tried Tracey Cahoon in the Little Shop of Hair ( out the back of Charlie Foxtrot Nunhead Green) she's a session stylist for fashion and film when not in her shop - very on it in terms of latest cuts - I'd imagine any teenager would be excited by idea of having someone who cuts Orlando Bloom's hair!

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
