Barbers

Started by: admin (1644)

My mate usually cuts my hair but he's broken his arm So I'm looking for a substitute barber<g> Do any of the Turkish barbers in Wigan remove the hairs in your ears by singeing them? Best way to remove them but you need to know what your doing

I went into the barbers in the Weind once and asked him for a haircut and a shave, he said you'll not get a shave this side of London.
I then went into a tailors shop a couple of doors up and asked if he had any lightweight jackets because I was off to Saudi Arabia at the weekend, he didnt have anything but still managed to sell me a sports jacket, on the inside label it said Harry Jones Wigan.

Why the big smile is it because you only paid £5 for a haircut or because you had the removal of the hairs in your ears by singeing as well, here in Ashton you can get your haircut,ears,nose,and eyebrows,timed for only a fiver anytime if an OAP

and if you're a tight arse like me, I do DIY haircut and pull the nose hairs and the ear hair out, bugger the pain, In fact I quite like the sensation from the nose hair tug, it hurts a little and makes you sneeze, So you get a good clear out as well,

Hi Dougie Yep he did all those things too. But he didn't singe the hair in my ears However he did a great job of removing them, now completely hairless. I've decided to sack my mate.

There was a barbers at the bottom of Rupert Street in Scholes who did chiropody as well as hair cuts. You could get your hair and toe nails cut in one visit! I think his name was Mc Farlane.
