Scoundrels & Gentlemen

The growing trend of the men's barbers becoming as fancy as the ladies is shown on this photo. It's quite fascinating to watch the pampering & increasingly complicated hair cuts that takes place in these expensive establishments.
They were queueing up even on a Sunday!

I think Harry would be very out of place in here!

Slightly cockeyed as I took this photo very quickly as you can imagine & so the angle didn't help! Harry was rather horrified I had even dare get my iPhone camera out!


Thank you all for your fun comments on my wonderful card for Mothers Day! I was so happy to think that I qualified for that wording!
We all like to think we are still fairly 'with it' !

Three good things:
1. Sitting out weather.
2. A potential disaster of a loo overflowing yesterday was a much better outcome than at first thought!
3. I am about to embark on my first bottle of sample gins & tonic water tonight.

It's a trend here too, Pat.
Yes, sitting out weather! Did a lot of work in the garden.

Looks a lovely place for a trim! Love your term 'sitting out weather'.
March 27th, 2017  
I haven't noticed any of these around here - yet!
March 27th, 2017  
@julzmaioro no you're right although Brian had his cut in rather a posh barbers in Ponsonby Central, he loved it so you never know! I think farmer George & retired farmer Harry are a bit old though!

Great shot, it looks very inviting.

March 27th, 2017  
@gijsje even in the Netherlands!
March 27th, 2017  
Very nice -- looks pricey to me !!
March 27th, 2017  
@pennystot yes indeed, I didn't see the price list! They were all youngish chaos who don't mind sounding that sort of money!
March 27th, 2017  
@dide Roll on sitting out weather!
March 27th, 2017  
@jesperani yes it was like a top ladies salon! How vain these men are these days about their hair!
March 27th, 2017  
Wonderful seeing and I like the lighting and composition a lot. At least they still use bikes!
March 27th, 2017  
@brennieb I am scoring the gins! Marks out of ten but only had the first one tonight so no comparison yet. I could have stood there for ages watching but it looked a big nosy!
March 27th, 2017  
@beryl Ha ha yes very pricy Beryl but money no object in the pursuit of perfection!
March 27th, 2017  
@jgpittenger Ha ha yes they probably can't afford a car although we did see some very fancy cars all being driven by the young! Oh dear I am sounding very old!
March 27th, 2017  
@happypat --must remember that !! ha ha !!
March 27th, 2017  
Nice shot
March 27th, 2017  
Cool looking place!
March 27th, 2017  
What's this - free sample of gins and tonic? I never get any! And Ray has his hair and beard trimmed at home!!!
March 27th, 2017  
David would be out of place here to. I usually cut his hair or if I cant he goes to Just Cutz
March 27th, 2017  
@quietpurplehaze Yes free samples Hazel, my Mother's Day present from Cathy.
March 27th, 2017  
@dawnee @kwind yes a peek into a mans world! 😧
March 27th, 2017  
@onewing Cheaper too Babs!
March 27th, 2017  
Its a public place so they would think it good for advertising their skills when you took the photo! Home hairdressing for my man.... but I'm not allowed to trim his beard! Have a gin for me!
March 27th, 2017  
Fabulous name for a male hairdressers
March 27th, 2017  
@maggiemae So many of the 365 men folk are home cut I find...us women can turn our hand to anything though that's one thing I have never done is cut Harrys hair.
March 27th, 2017  
@kwiksilver isn't it just!
March 27th, 2017  
Looks expensive!
March 27th, 2017  
Very interesting old worldish
March 27th, 2017  
this looks like a cafe in preston
March 28th, 2017  
A great capture Pat.
March 28th, 2017  
That's a lovely photo! Jonathan would love this!! He has grown a beard which I'm not too keen on but gets it trimmed properly and hair cut by his own professional!! Don't think Allan would fit in there either!
March 29th, 2017  
that looks a very interesting Barbers shop They are certainly springing up all over the place here too.
