I had a trim today. My barber for the last 20 years, Tony, decided to retire during the summer lockdown and hasn't re-opened, but instead sold the business to another barber. A few years ago Tony bought the premises next door to his and opened a ladies hairdressers which his daughter manages. On and off over the last 10 years she has also helped Tony out cutting mens hair, especially when he was having cancer treatment. Now she has a sign outside stating that they were also doing mens haircuts, so I went and saw her rather than seeing the new kid on the block.
Over the last 5 years a lot of barber shops, often Turkish, and sometimes unisex, have opened in our town. Unfortunately they all seem obsessed with just using clippers to cut hair. Remembering the butchers of my childhood tearing away with blunt hand clippers, this lass knows my preference for a cut using scissors.
