Top Barbers related questions

The main difference between the two is that barbers are trained in cutting shorter hair with simplistic styles. If you would like a traditional masculine haircut, a barber is where you should go. Hairdressers, on the other hand, are trained in cutting longer, fuller styles. If you're going for trendy, fashion-forward hairstyle, a hairdresser would be a wise choice.

Nope! Barbers typically do not colour hair. Their training is mainly on giving traditional haircuts, like military-style, fade, slicked back, or buzz cuts. If you want your hair to have colours or highlights, it's best to go to a hairdresser. Most of the time, they would even give you tips or suggestions on which hair colour suits you the most.

It depends on your hair length and style. For short haircuts, at least once a month would be enough. Medium length hairstyles can be trimmed every 1 to 2 months, and long hair can be cut once every three to six months. If you like to sport undercut or skin fade hairstyles, you may need to visit your barber for a quick trim more often, because these looks get messy faster than the other styles.

If they would like to have a shorter, masculine haircut, they can go to the barbers. But for stylish cuts, colour, and hair treatments, going to a hair salon would be the best. Since hairdressers are more updated with the latest hair trends, you can ask them for style suggestions that will flatter your features better.

That depends on the hairstyle you want to have, and the range of services you like to avail. Haircut and shave usually last for 20 to 30 minutes. Typically, haircuts take 15 to 20 minutes, but if you would like a more complicated hairstyle like a fade, it would typically take 45 minutes. We recommend blocking an hour for your barber appointment to be safe.

Most barbers go through private courses, further education, or apprenticeship to earn a certification. It ensures that they have all the skills they need, such as cut-throat shaving, beard trimming, freehand clipping, and carving. While anyone can call themselves a barber, a certification and formal training show that they have the skills and knowledge to do a great job.

Most mobile barber services cost between £25 and £60, depending on the type of cut, extras like beard work, and your location.

Hello I am Afro Caribbean and I’m really interested in some dermatology help. I recently had some dark sort of circles under my eyes which I think I got from weight loss and I was looking to remove them and bought a skin bleaching cream (Named: MELANOFREE) which I used on my eyelid and under eyes (silly mistake). Now I keep getting dark marks lines under my eyes which I never had before I made the problem worse than what I had before. My eyes look like I have dual black eyes. Please help me. Thank you, Tasha

16th Dec 2024

I’m Tasha I’m looking for a mobile Afro hairdresser to come to my home to do my hair and hopefully if all goes well be my go to person for hairstyles on a regular basis. I really want to get my hair in single braids (pick & drop) - micro braids if possible - and I have been looking online at people getting a mesh sew in at the front and sides to and the braids at the front and sides attached / croquet into the mesh so the braid looks like it’s growing out of the scalp. I’m preferably looking for braids as I’d like versatility of styling - but I could be tempted with frontal unit & bundles I’ve never done this before. I’d also would like to try vixen croquet braids but with my lack of hair line and front sides of hair I’m unsure if this can work for me. I wonder if you know what I mean or are able to do these. Hopefully you can help me with my decision going forward. For your mobile services I’m available in the Brockley SE4 area and Mottingham SE9 area. I hope to hear from you soon. Many Thanks, Tasha
