Observation: UK vs. Oz – Haircuts

Big Jim’s Trims in Ealing were responsible for my latest and long overdue ear-lowering. Notable differences to my last haircut in Melbourne include:

– Very cheerful hairdresser with “actually interesting” conversation.

– Instead of the little water spray bottles to wet the hair, you lean forward and have your hair washed in a basin. Posh! 🙂

– Rather than a small, battery-powered shaver to clear “neck fluff” at the rear, a cut-throat razor was used! Scary stuff.

– The latest Beyonce or (insert any Top40 R&B “artist” name here) rubbish was replaced with much tastier Psy-trance!

The only (not really) negative to report was the 12quid price, which isn’t even particularly expensive over here. UK Wins!
