Barbers/Hairdressers in Portsmouth?

Hair is getting to the point where i can't tame it any more, so instead of going all the way back to London to my local barber i might as well adopt one while i'm here! is there anywhere decent and fair priced ones which do modern styles and such, like they can give you a choice of pictures of what style you want? i fancy doing something new with it, preferably a barber near gunwharf/commercial road? but not too fussy really.

Razor's Edge is in Portsmouth & Southsea station. They're ok. But if you do use them tell them what you want done and then ask how much it will be.

Had a few situations where they try telling me my cut cost more than what it says on the wall

Might sound a bit dumb for asking, but what do you mean by that..? :smile:

Okay then, you have white hair..its cool. If you was a black person, I could advise you on where to go..but as you dont have black hair, I cant help you there.
I ask because, there are different barbers for a Black person and a White person and this is due to the way the hair is.

Crew is pretty good opposite Lloyds bar. They do 10% off for students but the best thing above anything is that you can have a beer in there while they do your hair!

How much is the beer though? Not student prices I bet
Garbo's Hair near subway (near the union) is pretty good. I've been there myself and plan on going again soon :smile:

I went to Rush hair, which was pretty good. I think i've got a 50% off voucher if anyone wants to lay claim to it?

No. I would not recommend Rush for students. Firstly I had a voucher for £10 off the haircut and 30% off colour. I thought it would be fairly cheap with these coupons. But as soon as i got there, the hairdresser refused to cut my hair unless i paid for a £12 treatment additionally, because it was in 'such bad condition'. Ok, so she cuts my hair really nicely, the colour was good too - but when it came to the bill, it was literally like waving goodbye to my social life for a month. £81 - with the discounts. WTF. Rip off. There's got to be cheaper in Portsmouth.
