Does anyone know why Polish people have designated barbers? I've just seen one and it got me pondering  I get that African and Asian hair types may require specialist treatment but do eastern Europeans have a different hair type too? Or is it just a language/cultural thing? Does anyone around hair know the answer?   |

Probably to polish their Polish heads as most I've seen have cropped barnets!

Can he do that dance where they sit on a stool and pretend to kick both legs out at once, Riv? They shout 'ha!' a lot, too, don't they?! Wouldn't mind seeing that next time you have an 'at home with the Rivs'...... don't forget the invite. Thx. xxx |

Requires an expert coiffeur to deal with those double crowns and that flat at the back look that's all the vogue.
I'm trying to locate a Welsh stylist for me mullet.

It's normally a choice between Grade 1 or 2, if you are a Bohemian Pole you may opt for a Grade 3.
I think a little stereotypical logic is required here.

My barber type of choice when I lived in the six towns was always Sicilian.
For years I used the barber in Percy Street, Hanley, conveniently located between Mr Nudge (before) and the Market Tavern (for after). Perfect Saturday afternoon. Salv was the young barber there and had a gangster fixation, he swore blind he was descended from famous outlaw Salvatore guiliano, and for all I know, he could have been. Always had a good tale to tell, an eye for the ladies. Often you would come out with an uneven taper across your neck if an attractive girl had bounced past the window at the crucial moment. When I first started using it in the 1980s, there was an old boy who barely spoke one word of English, I think he was Salvs grandfather.
There was also Giovanni in Birches Head I used from time to time.
Lastly, I used Mario's in Sneyd Green towards the end as it was convenient. Mario had worked all over Stoke for the big firms and set up on his own some time in early 90s I believe. Top bloke. I still use him to this day when I nip back to the city, and had a good catch up with him about 6 months ago.

Used to use an old Italian guy when I was in London, his party piece was warm olive oil on the back of the neck and side burns followed by the cut throat razor. Clean as you like and taught you to sit still. |

Good colour scheme, though.
