Pointless Rant No: 4362

Barbers and their selective hearing.

Took Funk Jr for his hair cutting today. Whisky there I asked the barber to blend the top of my beard with my bald head and tidy up the neckline a bit. Asked him not to take off any length and to leave the ‘stache alone as I like it to cover my top lip.

Result: He did the blending and neckline but also trimmed the ‘stache above my lip and utterly **** the rest of the beard. What the **** is wrong with them? First time at this barber but not the first time it has happened. I never learn and should just stick to trimming it myself.

Need a picture to judge the offence

Whisky there I

Maybe you were slurring a little?

My BiL sits in the barbers with a mirror, supervising every snip to thinning barnet and beard. He seems to change barbers often. He also spends at least an hour in the bathroom every morning to everyones eternal frustration,  I, and you, are not doing it right….

Pics needed before we pass judgement…. ?

Didn’t you notice him trimming your ‘tache? Did he sedate you with the whisky?

I never learn

It’s a bit like requesting “just a little bit of mustard” at a 2bit sandwich bar… <inserts half the bottle with yellow diarrhoea>

I noticed him trimming the moustache but I’m extremely British so said nothing and just quietly seethed. I just don’t get how they can get it so wrong. I would upload a picture but the shame is too strong.

Stiff upper lip and all that, eh? Good for you. And now everyone is able to see it!

Ah I remember as a youth going to Slasher Wood in his little shop by the picture house. I should have known better, I usually went to Reg Uren. Anyway after Slasher had finished he said “do you want Brylcreme”? “No” said I. “Too late” was the reply followed by a splat. Mum was horrified when I got home and next time I went back to Reg.

Barber just tired and not paying attention after his 18th fade on Sat before Xmas, maybe a little hungover.

Never happens at 9-11am on a Tuesday.

My biggest issue is the turkish barber.

Similar description of what you want except i hate a too long tache.

30 seconds later i appear to have a point chinstrap thing going on.

This was a Turkish barbers. Perhaps they have something against bushy beards and big ‘staches. 🙂

The worst one was Mr Lister. I was 15 with luscious, long blonde hair. Popped in for a trim and he gave me a Dolph Lundgren He-Man mullet! The piss taking from my mates was so bad that I cut the mullet bit off myself.

It’s for this reason I do my own – I have nobody to blame then but me.

And it costs me nothing.

Not forgetting eyebrows, they definetly have a thing about eyebrows.

My one and only trip to the Turkish barber, and to be honest there not much of a mane up there to get creative beyond a No2 all over, resulted in a No2 all over.

“want me to trim those eyebrows sir ?”

No thanks, fine as they are

Fzzzzzzt

Just went ahead anyway.

There was no tip forthcoming. So as above, do these 4r5eholes just not listen ??

And thats my one and only trip to the Turkish barbers. Bought hair clippers and i suit myself
