It's possible I'm biased, but this guy sounds like a douchecanoe.

I'm sure my boyfriend would love the place as well

I have reread the article. Once I got over my initial butt hurt because I have a vagina, I do understand where he's coming from. Though I'm not really one to just hang out at barber shops, I still wouldn't ban women (or men from any other shop). Bodies mean business!

Now look at this. She comes in at the start saying she was looking for a present for her bf and now she is following along in the forums soon she will just get her own supplies start shaving straight or DE and going to meet ups. Good for you. Be careful, it's a rabbit hole and addictive sticking around us wet shavers. LOL

This reminds me of a big publicity stunt some guy tried when he felt that the Hooter's chain of restaurants were discriminating and wouldn't hire men for their wait staff. In the end, he won out...however he had to wear the "uniform" of the Hooters girls: panty hose, the shorty shorts, and the Hooter's white t-shirts. He never went to work at Hooter's and just made himself look like a fool.

I love the idea, too much today men can't be men. If I lived there and wasn't shiny up top I'd certainly frequent that establishment.

What's the point of banning women from a shop that doesn't cut women's hair ? Rhetorical question.

Best barber in Ottawa is named Saskia. If they ban her from her own shop, I'm off!

There's no need to ban anything. What they have done on the few occasions women have wandered into the shop I go to is politely (for we are, after all, Canadian ) explain that they are only trained to cut men's styles, and that if that is what they are looking for they are more than welcome to stay. So far all who have been told this have just as politely thanked them and gone on their way. No hard feelings on either side.

You know, I own a traditional barber shop and I believe that it's important to welcome all types of people no matter what gender, color or creed. This "old school" fad is going a bit far IMHOP. In general my shop is masculine and the conversation there is wide open no matter what age, sex, color, creed but I have female customers and even a female barber who works with me. That's just how I roll. On the other hand I applaud this dude in the UK for preserving what he thinks is right. Hawleywood out in Cali, he's the same type of cat! No broads is #1 on his list of shop rules. Funny but kind of crazy.
