my local is in Durham, but I'm not going back just for a trim.

  • Go to Ray’s on Heaton Park Road.

    Whatever you ask for, he’ll give you a buzz cut that makes you look like a mental patient.

    In truth, go to Sweeney Todd’s in The Side (just up from the El Toro tapas place). It’s pretty cheap (about £7 or something), it’s still got the old Edwardian décor and fittings, they all wear proper waistcoats and that, they do an amazing wet shave, and if you want to engage in it, the banter’s top notch.

    • yeah I went to Ray's once... I vowed never again.

      So thats down the quayside then? Will have a wonder into town now.

    • oh man thanks marckee... that may have been one of the best haircutting ecperience of my life.

      He was a little bit racist and called my course 'artsy fartsy', but I don't care because he made me look like Steve McQueen.

        • A bit racist?

          Oh dear. They’ve always seemed pretty liberal in there (well, for working class Geordie men of that generation anyway). It's a cool place though. I liked to imagine that I was Al Capone.

          • It was a younger guy, not one of the older gentlemen...

            bit of an alpha male, still good though.

            • Ah right.

              The really tall guy with the beard is the main man and my favourite. Try and get him next time.
