Walking past yesterday and it looked like a decent place - well it was actually. Popped my head in to see if I could get a cut and they said I needed to book. Then one of the staff came over and said they could fit me in straight away. Anyway all went well and I got a nice trim. Went to the counter to pay and they've tried to punk £70 out of me :LOL:

The barber had been trying to flog me some shampoo for £30 a pop along with some hair clay. I thought they must have added these to the bill by mistake so explained it was just the cut. But there was no mistake and they wanted £70. Anyway, I put a £20 note on the counter and did one. It will have been more than enough to cover the cost of the cut. What's right is right, gents - surely?

Anything but a spit and sawdust place are fleecers in London. Will offer you all the lasses gear and products, even a pint and stick it on the bill. Not my cup of tea. Find a gents clip joint and stick to it

0151. Hair. The hair of the head is to be well cut and trimmed. Sideburns are to be short and well trimmed and are not to extend below a line running through the mid point of the ear. Extreme styles of haircuts and colouring are not permitted. If the hair is dyed or highlighted, the colour chosen is to be natural and in a uniform shade appropriate to the individual. The commanding officer shall be the arbiter upon what is or not an acceptable style or length of cut.

a. Rastafarians. Male Rastafarian hair is to follow the same general rules for other Service personnel in that it is to be neat and tidy and not of an exaggerated nature. Dreadlocks are to be no longer that the collar and able to be worn with all types of military headdress in such a way that is compatible with the image of the Royal Air Force.

0152. Beards. Male personnel are to be clean-shaven when in uniform. Beards may only be permitted on religious grounds or when specially authorised by COs on medical grounds under the provisions of AP1269. The beard is to be a full one and it is to be kept short and neatly trimmed. Muslim personnel may wear short neatly trimmed beards. Sikh personnel may wear their hair long in the Sikh tradition, the hair of the head is to be so arranged that it is placed under the turban. For occupational or operational reasons, where a hazard clearly exists, personnel authorised to wear beards on religious or medical grounds may be ordered to modify or remove facial hair to such an extent as to enable the correct wearing of respirator or breathing apparatus. However, during routine NBC training or Stn exercises the beard may remain unshaven.

0153. Moustaches. If a moustache is worn, the upper lip is to be unshaven and the moustache is not to extend below the edge of the mouth.

Take note!
