    Barbers

    Where do you all go? For the last couple of years I’ve been going to Kurdistan barbers in portobello. I get my hair and beard done, the service is unbelievable. Such nice guys and so professional in what they do.

    United we stand here....

    On the road a lot, so tend to get a chop where I am.

    For Inverness, Top Cut barbers on Church Street ( it’s very central) are great. Proper wash, good cut and they give you a nice cup of tea

    Old Town Barbers Club in Dunfermline. They're excellent but you have to book well in advance.

    The difference between a good and bad haircut is about three weeks.

    I go to Alfie’s on Fleshmarket Close, have done for years. Franco who runs it is pretty sound for a Jambo.

    Jims barbers. A tiny wee shop on the corner of Dalry road and Dalry place. Australian/Italian heritage and a massive Hibby

    I use Bluto & Olives just down from there mainly because the Polish girl who does my hair is quite pleasant on the eye. Her accent is very alluring as well.

    I've always liked Ruffians at the West End, only go every so often as a treat... relatively cheap for me as it is just beardwork, the need for haircuts passed a long time ago!

    I went to the Gyle last time I was home and got butchered. I wear my hair in a side parting and the Polish lassie cutting my hair asked if I wanted to keep the line on the left, when I answered to the affirmative I didn't realise she was gonna shave it in. 😨

    I used to go to these girly salons and thought it was getting quite expensive so I looked for a barber. David Gray was the obvious choice.

    First two times were ok but my last haircut is the worst I’ve ever had. It’s probably just luck but it’s time for a new barber...I’ll give that one a try.

    Failing that it’s back to paying £20 in a salon. At least I get to have free coffee and a perv.

    I will have a look in the next time I’m passing A bit off topic but I don’t know if you noticed the young guy in the Kurdish place, but he wasn’t in when I was there yesterday and the other guy told me he had been stabbed 7 times in a racist attack. It wasn’t in the shop it happened, he’s apparently recovering well. The guy got 7 years, he was out on bail for stabbing someone else at the time.

    Barbers are far too pricey. Like restaurants.

    Rag & Bone. I go to the one in Dundas Street (Rob has been cutting my hair for years now, class barber, great guy too), but they have others on Jeffrey Street and Morrison Street.

    I’d definitely recommend them.

    Sink & Anchor near the Grassmarket. Good cuts and sound guys. You can also have a game of FIFA while you wait.

    David Gray are not bad depending on who you get. Would recommend the Old Town Barbers Club though, it's hard to get an appointment but they are very consistent and I've always been happy with the haircut I've had there.

    I usually forget to book, so go on a waiting list and get a cancellation.

    Just wherever is close and looks like the sort of place that won't charge more than £10.

    Just went to Pasa barbers in stockbridge - very friendly service and over and done with in under 10 minutes.
    Mon the Hibs.

    Me too. In fact I was there on Saturday. Had to listen to the previous customer who was a Jambo shout about how great the new stand is and how great the team are as he was getting his hair cut.

    I could tell Franco was thinking to himself this guys a fanny. Then the boy leaves and Franco says exactly that.
