I took a guy friend of mine to the place of Greyfriars that's not Sophie Butler when he didn't know where to get his hair cut (I suppose guys don't know these sorts of things). Anyway, he was happy with it and it was about 12 quid, but he has long hair so not sure how they do with normal blokes' cuts.


Johnalan. I went there once, paid £10 and emerged with hair not appreciably different from when I went in. Which is either a really, really good sign or a really, really bad sign. I wasn't sure then and am not sure now. Which is why I go to John the Barber. He makes the hair shorter.

That said, as my visits to St Andrews are now few, I shall have to find a new coiffeur.

Is exnihilo thinking of Charlie Taylor?

I lived above Charie Taylor for a year and it was a slim few who emerged with a haircut that didn't require the immediate attention of a hat/paper bag. The staff have those awful reinvented mullets for crying out loud.

Avoid it like the plague.

If you want an actual good haircut for around or less than £20 then you'd be best going elsewhere. There are good salons in Cupar and Leven which are the only ones I know of myself and female friends using.

The ones in St Andrews don't really cut it regardless of the price.

Guys of course don't really have this problem as all they usually ask for is a couple of numbers and it costs them a fiver!

Ah, John the Barber... a man who growled into my ear yesterday that he remembered me from my mop. A joyous moment.

And thankfully, I have time for my hair to grow back in time for Christmas.

My friends and I got our hair done at Charlie Taylor for the Hall Ball and it was pretty good. That was just up-do type things, not haircuts mind you. It was also ridiculously expensive, something like £25. Though there were vouchers floating around for 1st years- £10 off the first visit.

john's (off south street, up a flight of stairs) is sometimes staffed by a woman with wonderfully cute stories of her little girl. Never actually seen John myself, but the lady is lovely! 6 pounds ain't bad, either.

Also I think that sometimes they look for hair models in the salons and its cheaper if not free. The only drawback being that you may end up with green or orange hair artfully cut into the shape of a sailing boat.... but hey, its worth an ask cos in some places they let you chose your own style and colour. Hell, its all practice for the student hairdresser.
