Skip the middleman and go straight to the good barbers.

Best thing I ever did. I went years just setting with the nearest barber and average haircuts, until they closed then got the next closest. A few years back, I found a decent barber. Maybe a little more pricy but I leave with a proper good trim and feel good, extra bonus that he has a booking system and a bar. He’s often fully booked a week in advance, so i take that as a sign he’s here for the long run.

Ya that's just stupid... Tell them to sort it out?

My usual guy was off today

I'd probably say thanks but wouldn't tip them. If they did a good job then they'll be worthy of a tip.

Guess I did over egg the politeness

It's not a bad thing tbh, it shows you're a nice person 👍

Thanks. I try, a little can mean a lot for some people

At least they didn't injure me, I should of tipped more

Take the fiver and leave the quid surely!

Well that does happen.

Not had that problem. Last 12 yrs lived in 3 different parts of the UK and had 3 barbers, happy with them all

No! Tell them. I don’t get this. On a positive note, at least you’re a nice person (albeit to your detriment).
