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? |

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. -- Joseph Coulter Cruises and Vacations http://www.josephcoulter.com/ |

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( - TR - helping Brits enjoy city services. |

You're lucky he didn't charge you extra for having a full head of hair to cut. :-) |
