rather than a barber.
was in salon today
bloke
short back and sides.
wanking about having hand massages and head massages.
his hair was just THERE, it wasnt even a style

the junior who then gave ME a hand massage said she found it creepy
i said that the whole girls hairdresser thing was odd.

I've never been to a salon that was inappropriate for a man to be in. How could it be creepy for a man to have a hand massage? Unless he actually was wanking about
the place...

YABU, and the junior shouldn't have been so unprofessional. She'll have been moaning about you to her next victim client.

ShatnersBassoon · 09/12/2010 14:46

Sorry, it wasn't AIBU! Just ignore the "YABU, and " above!

Unprune · 09/12/2010 14:46

No, it's not strange...
You see men in hairdressers' all the time!

tulpe · 09/12/2010 14:55

Not at all strange. And why is it okay for women to declare their love of massage but not men? Not every man who enjoys massage is a raging perv.

lol
i said to her
" you arent massaging his PENIS"

she giggled

My DP goes to a barbers three miles from our house rather than the 'salon' two minutes walk away.

He likes to be in and out within 15 minutes having talked about the football/rugby etc and handing over £8 plus a £1 tip.

Sorted. I shall get him a hand massage for Xmas and see what he says.

My DH goes to a salon, he spends £36 every 5 weeks and always books the same hairdesser because he knows what his hair will turn out like, much like most women do. He has really thick hair and a bog standard barber cut does him no favours.
Don't think he's odd but do take the piss out of him for being so high maintenance!

My DH goes to same place as I do. He's not metrosexual in any other way but he is thinning a lot and his 'stylist' cuts it really well. Don't think he would want a hand massage though !!

My DS (16) likes going to the salon. I give him money for the barber but he tops it up himself and prefers the salon. I don't really care where he has it done so long as I am not paying salon prices.
