Are The Dutch Like This?

When I got a haircut in The Netherlands I was amazed. In the US every
single haircut I have ever had took no longer than 15-20 minutes. In
The Netherlands it took an hour. Not because the haircutter was slow
but because of his careful, precision cutting. He spent 15 minutes just
cutting out my ears! The question I have is: I think I saw this type of
quality workmanship all over the country. Am I right about this? Is
this true about The Netherlands? The people seem to be so happy in
their work, no matter what it is. The Dutch are like this?

Why shouldn't they ?

You will find that your experience woud be repeated in most of europe.
While my wife and I struggle to find someone with basic skills in the US we
have never had a bad cut in France, Austria, Belgium or Italy.

I've never had a haircut in Holland but how much did it cost
you? About the lowest price I've seen around here is USD14 for a
15 minute haircut.

It is US$11 here for a 30 minute haircut, mostly with scissors, minimal
use of the electric shears. Some barber shops are a dollar or two
cheaper.

Getting a good haircut in the US is hard. The cheap joints just dole
out the 10-minute hatchet job for $12. The fancy joints dole out a
30-minute metrosexual job for $50. I was recently advised to see a
woman who works at a medium-quality chain called Regis. I drove out
and asked for her and got a great haircut for $30.

I once got a haircut in Bournemouth, England. That was a really good
cut, delivered by some gay guy who had the sense to give me an easily
managed cut without making me look like a metrosexual. The cut was
affordable (can't recall the price), but the parking ticket I got from
the city of Bournemouth was £65!!!

Oh, well. :0(

With the typical Dutchmen it takes longer to find their hair. You're lucky
he didn't charge you extra for having a full head of hair to cut.

Sorry, I can't tell from your post where "here" is. How can a
person make a decent living, allowing for shop costs, with
what's left from under USD20 an hour?
