• Slightly dull practical question:

    how do hair cuts work nowadays?

    (barbers not hairdressers)

  • (barbers not hairdressers)

    What's the difference? Peeps that cut hair innit? Asking as not one for giving a shit about hair cutting.

  • Hairdressers offer you a cup of tea and wash your hair. Barbers don't.

  • (barbers not hairdressers)

    What's the difference?

    If we exclude the trendy faux-barbers that have sprung up like wide fire:

    Hairdressers generally:

    • are booked by appointment
    • seat you in a seating area and give you a coffee while you wait for your appointment
    • wash your hair
    • take a min of 30min to cut your hair
    • cost >£25

    A lot of which adds risk, but the appointment system would allow better risk management than a barbers queue and cab rank system, as well as likely a lower number of customers.
