Any barbers open?

OP here.

I certainly don't have the head for a "2 blade" headshave or whatever.

I need a proper haircut!

Surely there must be some sort of solution to this.

Do you currently own, or have access to, a hat?

I normally get a number 1 all over but not too fussed. A 2 or 3 will do. Just not too confident doing the back.

If you're doing it same all over there's absolutely zero skill required. Either a hand held mirror while looking in another mirror or get someone else to tell you if it's all same length. Or get someone to do it but there's absolutely no need. Thousands of men in Ireland shaving their own heads for years on their own

Now I know this is a windup - if you have a job you surely have the intelligence to work out that a hat functions quite well as a sun shade.

Deal with it, nobody cares if your hair is a bit messy right now. Cop on.

its grand saying cut your own hair if you have a head shaver but these things are as rare as a bottle of dettol- have been trying to get one on amazon all sold out except crap ones with poor reviews or ones that cost a fortune

Check your local chemists for one. Got one for €30 last week in ours. Or ask them if they can order one in.

Tesco in Paul Street still have the Remington one for €30.. and it has 25 accessories with it - including a drape - its the job! oh and it all comes in a handy little case.. it really is incredible value for money

Just did my no. 2 cut with my Remington. Second cut since this all started.

Maybe NSFW? I don't think so but you'd never know. Anyway, it reminded me of this thread and gave me a giggle.

I think we are going to have to spell it out for you.

This virus is passed on mostly by airborne. They say you are 100% going to get it if you spend 10 minutes beside someone with it.

They also say 60% of people don't show symptoms for 2 or 3 days before developing the fever or cough. This is when you are a super spreader.

So you would like to sit in a chair for 10 to 15 mins with both of you breathing in each other's breath??!!

Do yourself and your barbers a favor just cut it yourself. This virus is a killer.

why are barbers hairdressers etc opening in europe so -mask gloves etc do you know more than health experts in spain italy

Picked up a cheap trimmer in Dunnes for €15. If I just get one or two half good cuts out of it I’ll be happy enough.

It needs to be spelled out for you, its not an airborne virus. It passed by particles

Particles such as micron-sized water droplets laden with virus and suspended in one’s breath?

If you wore a mask and sanitised your hands you 'd be safe getting your hair cut.

Well if you say it it must be true, post up your medical degree when you get a chance good man or would i be right in thinking one of your buddies on Facebook said it

No harm in waiting to see how barbers and hair salons get on in Italy, Spain and so on before we commit to reopening.

We’ll know soon enough how high the risk is.

We are not Spain or Italy, they are doing their own thing, be it wrong or right. Is it so hard to comply with what is being asked of us here?

I’ve a head a hair on me like the wolverine and not one single fcuk could I give if I never got it cut.
The gombeens with the fortnight haircuts must be suffering.i wouldn’t mind and you’d see more hair in a cats sh1te of a frosty morning then what’s on them and they giving 15 euro a cut.
This might learn them but I doubt it

Does the barber cut around the elastic band from the mask or move it a few times making the mask fit badly? What if they accidentally cut the elastic band and it falls off?

Also, just to annoy everyone who's clueless to this whole situation, my wife is a hairdresser, I've had 3 haircuts since the barbers shut down.

I guess some people care about their appearance, and how the present themselves? Not everyone wants to look like "wolverine" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Some people need to reel in their vanity and deal with it.
