I'm not a winger but
 
If I have on criticism of my new home & life it as to be the gents hairdressers / barbers.:thumbdown: Sorry

I cant get a good hair cut for J#*K s#*t (sorry about the language) I’ve been in Aus since Jan 05 on the Gold Coast, and cant get a good hair cut any where.
When you do find a good one, it costs a fortune or you go back a 2nd time and that barber/ hair dresser has gone and you end up with a cut that looks like a first year apprentice has just practiced on you.

Can any one recommend a good Barber / hairdresser that was trained in the UK, on the gold coast and can cut my hair without looking like a mop the week after its been cut, long bits here a tuft there and one side lower than the other.

Come on Guys help me out, I know it’s a bit girlie lads, but I’m fed up with the wife looking at me after having my hair cut and giving me that look (“who the bloody hell as cut that” :lol:look)

Good day and here endith the sermon

Get yourself a set of cutters and do it yourself.

Yep, if you have a haircut that gets done with clippers you can guarantee consistency. It only cost me $14 too.

It took me a while to find someone that I was happy with, cutting my hair.

Generally, the stylists just seem to be either (a) ignoring what was asked for or (b) deciding that they know what's best for you, which is kinda like a different take on point (a) I guess.

Conversely, the rare few gems are there to be found and I have found at least two stylists who actually gave me a great cut. On the whole though, the majority of them aren't fit to sheer sheeeeee-eeeeeeep!

I guess that's why hairdressing is on the MODL?

If you fancy having a day trip now n then to Byron, theres a cornish woman in the barbers by the clock tower - shes a billy bargain & good for men/women (thats sounds wrong...for hair cutting :)

I only had my hair cut here once in Melbourne, at a place called Adventure Hair, that should've been enough of a warning really - they gave me a mullet type thing :)

Try " Next International" at Helensvale, owner is a lovely lady from Durham, Denise.I've been going there for a few years now, she has another salon in Oxenford, same name.


Denise is still a pom at heart, despite being here many years, and occasionally goes over to the UK to update with Vidal Sasson courses , her son who also works in the salons has just got back from a training course in London.

You wont be disappointed;) Tell her how you like it, and she will look after you.;)

We have resorted to that. We gave up on the hairdressers here along time ago. They cost a fortune and are rubbish anyway.

Shave it off, have done with it:D;)
