i see men going to saloon/parlor nowadays. although some are still the conservative that they prefer the barbershop. how often do you get a haircut? do you still have a barber do it or do you go to a unisex saloon? do wives here have husbands or maybe boyfriends who enjoy the services of a parlor? not only do they get a haircut but also have some scalp massage and shampoo and hair dye and blower, something i dont think barbershops offer. have a nice day. ann

Hi Anny dear I have a barber shop near my home, it is known as 'Laxmi Hair Cutting Saloon', the owner is my age, we are friends, his sons help him too in the job, he cuts my hair since last 5o years Dyes my hair, gives massage, trims nails, hair on my ear lobes (my antenna to connect with almighty, kidding).. The charges are just 50 rupees, a big concession.. I don't visit unisex parlors, too costly.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Professor

dear professor, am happy for you having a friend barber, and lucky he is also near your home. for me, i have to travel 15 minutes and walk about 50 meters to the parlor to see my favorite hair cutter and manicurist. it is difficult to find one that would suit to my taste when they start working on my hair. i have been to many other saloons before i found this. thank you for your response. have a nice day. ann

Hi Ann. I get a haircut every month or two usually. I used to go to a unisex salon, but as a child, my mother always took me to a barbers shop. My dad still goes to barbers shops. He would not go to a salon. He is too old fashioned for that. These days though, my wife cuts my hair at home in the bathroom with clippers. I usually start and do as much as I can and then she comes in and finishes it off neatly. It is much cheaper and easier this way. We do the same with our son as well.

Hubby has given all that up and now requires home done hair cuts. Usually the eldest daughter will come and do this, but I got talked into it last time and I told him if he didn't get someone else to do it I would shave his head. Bless him.

In the nine years that I've known my husband, he has never been in a unisex salon or even a barbershop for that matter. The two of us used to go together to get our hair done at the quick service salon for men and women, but then in an effort to save money for our family, we invested in a set of clippers and I actually cut my husband's hair for him. It works out quite well for us and he is just as happy with his hair done here as he is when he pays out of pocket for it.
