carni 10,094 Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 I have just been catching up on all of your posts. Wonderfully uplifting. I can't imagine there is another site on the internet with such supportive members, you really do me good, and make me laugh when I least feel like it. I wanted to quote parts of so many posts from you all but I don't know where to start so a big thank you all so much. I wish I could say my hospital visit went well, but no such luck. An attempt was made, using local anaesthetic, it was not happening so I have to go back for General anaesthetic, which has its own risks because of my heart problems. A big BUT....I still have options. I have avoided saying what my problem is, you really don't want to know Haha.  Benj, sorry you have had to go back in hospital Miduck, I hope the professionals can get you back on track asap. Our condolences to Donna, you and your family on the passing of her father. 6 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 That's all well and good Den, but have you seen some Beeston inhabitants recently ? I have today, and some are still sporting mullets for goodness sake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 2,071 Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 £4 00 for a hair cut well what can one say? are we talking mens hair? is the customer charged for what is taken off or what is left behind?  Even if its gents or ladies even unisex this salon is under cutting himself. Give him a year and his/her salon will be up for sale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,869 Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 Ladies haircut from £5, it is a big shop with 2 barbers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 I always cut Hubbys hair about every five weeks so no charge, around that time ,seeing as I have a simple style , I just book in for a dry trim.£10.00. On Wednesday I thought I would spoil myself and go for,shampoo, cut and blow dry. £28.00. Not a lot by todays standards, but a shock to this Dinosaur. Being the owner of dry hair I can get away with about four days between washes, so today it gets a wash. The shampoo and blow dry on Wednesday has cost me the extra £18.00 for four days. Back to my dry trims for a tenner for me, I think. Living on a budget these days.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,594 Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 I have always cut Paul's hair and also cut my own, but because my eyes are getting worse, I accidentally cut my knuckle when I was doing my own a couple of days ago!   Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 I hope your knuckle doesn't give you to much grief Margi. I quite often get a V shaped nick when I'm doing my hairdressing duties and they can sting sharply. No chance of doing my own. I have tried, but looking in the mirror and trying to cut hair is not easy. I end up with a very asymmetric look. Interesting, but unintentional! I do have a little trim myself but mainly the fringe area. That does for me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jonab 1,644 Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 As this hair subject carried on I began to think I have been ripped off. Down in the village this morning I began asking the locals about their hairdressing arrangements. It turns out that none of them goes into Grasse, as I did, but to various small surrounding villages where, if there isn't a proper hairdressing salon, one of the local wives has a small hairdressing business. Â I can't believe that having lived here all this time, I was unaware of this. All the time previously I've had very long hair which has always been trimmed by myself. It is only now (that I'm thinking I should look my age) that a neat short, cut is necessary. Â Anyway, all done and I have some clippers on order from Amazon to avoid further gross expense. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
