Hair peace

Hey - long time no see

This one is urgent.

Where does a Lith gentleman go to get his hair cut in London? We don't want highlights and we don't want clippers. We just want to not look like a fool.

Preference given to the north, east, central, and points within.

We await your responses. x

If I were a gentleman, I'd probably go to Trumpers on Curzon Street.

Surely one's valet would take care of such a matter.

I really wouldn't let one's valet cut hair. Much more reliable to go to one's barber.

There's always this place. They're very nice. And it's owned and run by a 'lither, which can only be a good thing.

What a lovely name.

Probably also worth adding that I'd trust the poster involved with my life, let alone my hair.

I know a lot of guys who are regular patrons of Fish in Soho. A bit on the pricey side, but their hair always looks fantastic. Ask for Nigel.

To add to the question above, does anyone know where's a very safe place for bleaching? My roots (naturally a dull medium-brown) colour are starting to get too long to leave alone, but since my last bleaching my hair bits have been slowly breaking off over time, and I'm thinking maaaayybe it'd be a good idea to place it in the hands of a professional this time. I'm in Cambridge, but I think London or maybe Sheffield or Leeds would be possible. Help?

Mademoiselle Olulabelle, I would not dream of allowing my valet to attend to my tonsure. He would, however, identify a gentleman's needs and attend to same efficiently and discreetly. With minimal fuss. And a gin and tonic to calm my nerves.

I have heard that le dernier cri in the world of male coiffure these days is a charmingly naïve little salon, staffed by lovely girls and boys from Eastern Europe and Korea, that charges only Five Pounds, whatever the cut, and is in the veritable bowels of Soho, in Romilly Street.

Admittedly, I have my head shorn in a trice these days to emulate the nap of a well-conditioned beaver but what choice have I, as a homosexualist of a certain age in London? None whatsoever, I submit, ma chère.

Cheers Stoatie. I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't have a pop up ad or somesuch on Barbelith for Beaucatcher. The name is a long story, Ms.O.
Any hair problems solved though by a staff of very talented folks! Plus good music and a sense of humour. Nice days in the garden.

Mr Xoc, the purpose of this message was absolutely, explicitly in order to avoid the hellpit that is M. Topper's salon. And what is this age you speak of? Young homosexualists everywhere are throwing off the tyranny of the buzzcut - but I can quite believe I'll be stopped on the borders of Soho and forcibly... better stop there.

Ta for suggestions peeps, keep 'em coming.

Stoatie/Lily - I live on Church Street! Genius. Might pop in later today...

But it says Stoatberry Switchblade...
Hope you liked your hair after all, 1tj, sorry I didn't really get a chat in but it was probably the most hectic day we've ever had since this time last year. Thanks for coming in.
Next!

Lilly cut me a bitchin' fringe last week--it was a big hit at the wedding. Cheers!

So - how much _is_ Fish, then? What is pricey in the world of tonsure these days?

Woohoo, yes, ta Lily... Like my new haircut very much - props to Lara, the lady who did it, and Beaucatcher en generale - highly recommended...
