This is why I go to a salon rather than a barbers - sure it's
not the most manly of places, but along with the coffee\tea\other they give you, it's really relaxing.
When in my early twenties and single, my mate and I would drive around Bournemouth area looking for the "right" salon. Nothing quite so relaxing as an attractive young lady massaging your head and then pressing a firm bosom into your shoulder....
