Do guys go to hair dressers?

Elessar

Perhaps a stupid question, but do guys actually go to hair dressers like Peter Marks? Anyone here? If so what are your reasons?

I usually just go to the local barbers and get the gruaig cut when it's too long, but I'd like a change. Whenever I've tried to grow longer hair it just becomes unmanageable and I'm forced to get it cut. I haven't really found a style I want, just something a bit longer than the regular "4 back and sides".

Went into the barbers today and the guy scalped me! I look like a skanger (Stooooooooooory bud!! ) I want a change!

*Tripper*

Sam's Barbers on the north quays would sort you out! its like a men's hairdressers. Its 25quid for a wash and cut(standard). I'd recomend it cause they actually know how to cut with a scissors and its not akways the same machine cut!

I've been going to Peter Marks now for about a year or so. I've only been 3 times though as I get my haircut fairly irregularly I suppose.

I used to be like yourself always going for the standerd fresh prince of bel air 4 back and sides LOL.

then I just started growing my hair longer and longer and it suits me much better. I'm gonna let it grow right through summer then go to peter marks and get them to cut it properly for me instead of just shaving it all off!

I go to Peter Marks quite simply because I prefer the haircut I get there to the one I receive in the barber shops, even the better places like the Grafton Barber.

Tell your barber you wanna keep the lenght, but keep it tidy, and they'll thin your hair out for ye

I'm the same, love havin longer hair, but gets too bushy and hard to manage

Bah, Buy a remmington hair trimmer and be done with it. I haven't paid for a haircut in about eight years *spits tobacco*

My mate does mine. Happy days. €50 for a hair trimmer cutter thingy and paid for in no time.

He's being cutting hair for years and is damn good at it.

Though I don't cut his. For the sake our friendship.

Sams on the quays is the best place in Dublin, pricey but good

I've been going to the same hairdresser in Wexford for the past 3 years. I have long hair and I only need it cut every 2/3 months so I don't see the harm in spending money on someone who's going to do a decent job. Also I get a cup of tea and get to flick through Heat and Hello!

I also get lowlights done, he charges me less than 50 quid for the lot wheras he charges women a lot more. viva gender discrimination!

Unfortunately for me, God decided it would be a laugh if he had my beautiful hair fall out so I won't be going to this guy much longer :mad:

Yep,have went to Peter Marks a bit,never know what to do with my hair so they usually have good suggestions and do a great job, also handy when I got highlights. The barber on Parliament Street (I think,street parallel to George Street, off Dame street) beside Jack and Jones do a quality job as well

I've no principled objection to going to a Hair Stylist (or whatever). But I baulk at the cost. I like spending money, but not on something that's going to be back-to-square-one in a week or so.

College Barbers in Balinteer will set you back a tenner. She does what you ask her to, as well, instead of giving you the haircut she'd like you to have.

ah the joys of having a full head of hair!! if only i was so lucky!:(

Rediguana, I go to Toni & Guy frequently enough. The way i see it is: If you go in to a shop and buy a Shirt for 40quid, you'll wear it maybe every second saturday night for a couple of months. But the hair on your head - you wear that ALL the time - if you add up the hours, it's probably better value. I genuinely would baulk a hell of a lot quicker at the people up here saying they've "100Euro to spend on a pair of Jeans, any advice???"

It's because good quality jeans can easily last a year. 100 euro for 12 months wear, or 40 for 1 month.

You wear the same pair of Jeans 24/7? All I'm saying is that it's not as ridiculous a concept as people might think. And what's the point in having great Jeans and a dodgy haircut.
As for getting the head shaved - unfortunately, that doesn't suit us all.

meanpeoplesuck

24/7? It's easy to get 30+ days wear out of a pair of jeans when there's 365 days in a year. I couldn't care less how much you spend on a haircut but trying to justify it as a better purchase than an item of clothing based on some subjective theory about how often you wear said item of clothing isn't helping anything.

I use the place in Arnotts.

It's actually pretty good and they seem to cater for people of all walks of life... I like how they wash and cut your hair in the same place... very economical.

Grafton Barber - but you have to keep getting the same 'stylist'

Otherwise it can go horribly wrong!

Same here, after a while you end up really quick at it too and can get it done easily in under 10 mins.

100 euro for a year? What kind of crap jeans are you buying?

I've jeans which I bought 6 years ago and cost me 20 punts and are still going strong.
