Anyone ever been to a stylist?

[albionalex]

I'm in need of a new haircut. Usually I just get something simple from the barbers which costs me about £8.50 with my student card but I now have quite a bad receding hairline (I'm only 20! ).

I'm considering just getting a #2 or #3 all over but haven't really had it that short before and am a bit apprehensive. Therefore, i'm considering going to a 'stylist'. It would cost a lot more than just going to the barbers but I would expect them to be a lot more helpful/knowledgeable and should be able to sort me with a cut that should suit my ugly mug.

Anyone been to a stylist before? Worth it?

Man up! Just keep your hair short dude.

I know loads of people that have been to a stylist to get a hair cut. If you like, I'm sure they would give you advice about what to do when your fanny bleeds each month as well.

I find if I go to a proper stylist type place like you mention they're much better at haircuts than the barbers. But then it's a lot more expensive, so like a lot of things in life, you're paying for that premium.

However, hair grows back and out of 'styles' fairly quickly. So after 2 weeks after it's cut you may as well have just gone to a barbers tbh...So unless it's a big occasion (like a wedding etc) I'd say stick to the barbers.

Brighton has many outlets for gentlemen who like to look fancy. My advise: just get it cut.

I've been receeding since 21. Started shaving it, but have grown it back since because I didn't like being the only baldy amongst my friends. Fortunately I'm not bald on top.

My advice, just go with it. Either shave it off, or carry on as usual knowing that your forehead is getting bigger. Don't try to cover it up.
