I use Haircut Sir at the bottom of Tulse Hill. Wouldn't describe what you get as Vidal Sassoon, but you certainly end up with less hair. The old boy who runs the place has been cutting hair in Brixton for 35 years


Not Vidal Sasson but you end up with less hair, I wonder if Supercity's connected to the place?

James


Y'know I've been all of a tiz all night!


I don't know but James you really inspired me and .... sooo it well bought me out of "there". So now like a pheonix, a bird of paradise, a peacock I am readdddy to strut my drakey stuff down his "Lordship's Lane" and back.....my eyes as dark as "coalite"........( it is a smokeless fuel ) I'm on fire... yes sir! this clone is "in the zone..."


Oh yeah loooooooooook out!! I am primped, pressed, permed and pompadoured .......I'm a raven for a ravin'.... wearin' rhinestone in my hair & ready to fly.

So come on lets strike like raptors & hit the town tonight.


What do you say "big cock" ....



.............or are you staying in washing y'hair ?

James I used to like all my colour, but a friend in headnizm used to do it all with a cut for about 20 quid. Once she'd gone back to Australia, it suddenly became very expensive, and I decided it wasn't worth it. Plus I am a bit to old and thinning at the back a bit if I'm honest, so I'd probably look a total knob if I had it done now.

Jimi...this is nothing...some people have received FAR worse...it's only a forum and it's all part of the fun...and remember, you can give as good as you get...if you are "innocent" get in there and fight your corner...if you've been a "naughty boy" and been caught out, then learn from it...but don't give up...ED IS nice and so are most of its residents...save a few cliquey tosspots...but I'm sure Hampstead wasn't devoid of those either.


As per jaybee82's post, "Welcome to to The Forum Jimi".

I second that with a welcoming Jamesian Adam Ant-style 'FA FA QUA DIDDLY FA FA' from 'Stand And Deliver'.

And it would also be apt to throw in 'Singer's Hampstead Home' by Microdisney.

Well when I say apt, I probably mean gratuitous.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
