Fyne Blades

Very very nice !!!
very nice, the hair salon very good and polite and the place is very cheap!

When a quarter of your hair has fallen out, you don’t want to be paying a quarter of your day’s wage for a haircut. Frankly, you don’t even want to spend more than a quarter of an hour getting your trim.
So for the thousands of us slowly ageing men there’s no need for all the fuss of a stylist and no need for Italian named places charging 30 quid or more for a cut. Instead it’s all about finding the cuts for less than a tenner that have you in and out in ten minutes. They are surprisingly rare in London.
Fyne Blades is just this kind of place and it took me months to find. It’s a slim half-​shop on funky Askew Road and I get my quick hair chop here for less than the price of a bottle of French wine and chat shit with the nice Polish lady.

I just got back from a year in the middle of nowhere in Canada, where I found the best haircut ever, from a tattooed fiftysomething rock chick in a bric-​à-​brac shop, for $ 8 (£5). This totally blew away all preconceptions I had about paying lots of money for haircuts. In fact, I realised that there’d actually been a correlation between the expensiveness of the service and the crapness of the result.
So when I got back, I thought I’d give this tiny local barber a try. He’s not tiny, but his shop is. It’s thinly sandwiched between the chemist and the chinese takeaway. There’s a few other hairdressers nearby, including the long-​established Colin The Barber on Cobbold Road (old school) — and for a long time after he opened, I never saw anybody in here. Now, though, it seems busier (though according to him, business is still slow) and I can see why. He gives a bloody good cut.
Also, I always feel so oppressed by fake cool hairdressers. When they start talking to me, and I realise I have to up my Cool game, I just want to grab the scissors and plunge them into my eyes. There’s none of that with this guy.
And he’s cheap.
