I've been going to the same hairdressers for 30 years.
My hairdresser is male and 78 years of age although doesn't look no where near that.
It takes 1hr 15 for C&B and costs £28 and I get a cup of tea thrown in.
I've always been very happy each time I've stepped out of the salon.

Men train on ladies hair …….. but what's that about, men getting a cheaper cut  .  I tried to get mine cut with the guy who does DH's but I was pushed into the ladies section.  Again, complacency set in  so I stopped going there, plus all the girls SMOKED  - not in the place but outside so that ended that arrangement.  I will NOT have someone who smokes cut my hair

Perhaps it's because women usually have longer hair.
Mistakes aren't as obvious..............

Ah sorry I misunderstood.
Of course it doesn't matter about the quality of a mans haircut - there's so little of it!
Yes - it really makes sense to train where mistakes don't show up

I don't agree with you there Limpy.  the quality of my husband's haircut is very important to him and that is why he has been going to the same man for many years, even moving with him when he has moved premises.

Sorry BJ - it was a misguided attempt at humour.
Sill feel it's better for hairdressers to train on a fuller head of hair before they move onto shorter hair where mistakes are more obvious and can't be disguised.

Hi Limpy, the typed word can be very unforgiving at times can't it?  that's partly why I tend to punctuate my posts with the smilies as I have got into bother in the past with misunderstandings 

[limpy]

BJ - I do know what you mean about men being very very particular about haircuts.
My OH gets awful down if his isn't to his liking.
Which can be difficult as he wants his to "look as if it may need a trim next week" 
Luckily the hairdresser is used to him - phew.

Just had my hair done. DH asked me if my teeth were OK! I think, well I hope he was joking! I'm pleased anyway.
