Any question answered...

Loadsa barbers are more than just a barber to alot of their frequents, gaining more of a social club vibe, somewhere to hang out really.

Also, its never too late to get a haircut.

what's with the Afro-Caribbean thing of barbers and hairdressers opening really late? It seems like a great thing culturally. Where does it come from?

^^^ Yer! Wot he said. Ain't you not never seen "Desmond's"
