Micks barbers - Suzy Sometimes in life you get, pleasantly, surprised! Having past retirement age, more than 4 years ago, I have sat in barbers chairs, over the past 10 years & more having spoken to the person about to cut my about how I would like it to be cut then sat & watched the same (OAPs) haircut appear on my head! Just over a year ago (having thought that I had tried every barbers shop in a 10 mile radius!) I thought that I would give it 1 last chance & called a new (to me) barbers shop that was a pleasant 20 minutes walk from where we live holding my breath, I asked if there was anyone available to cut my hair? & was asked when I was available & made an appointment. My trepidation, on arrival, was soon overcome, when I was introduced to a very pleasant lady called Suzy, who made me feel very relaxed with her smiling welcome. So I thought, at least the next 30 minutes of my life will not be so disappointing as my usual experience in barbers shops. What followed was a complete revelation to me! Having sat down & exchanged some pleasantries Suzy asked me how I would like my hair to be cut? Well, I thought, do I waste another 2-3 minutes on telling the person about to cut my hair how I would like it to be cut (?) to end up leaving the shop, 30 minutes later with the usual OAP cut (?), or just say the usual for us 60 year-olds please (?) I gave it 1 last chance & told Suzy how I would like it cut i.e. not the standard blue-print for some sad 60-yearold who was obviously not aware of how 60-yearolds are required to have their head half shaven & the standard length of each individual hair to be no more than inch long. My pleasant surprise began to unfold as Suzy began to apply what I had asked for not what I should accept! As well as the unfamiliar picture unfolding in front of me of not seeing clumps of my hair falling to the floor I actually found someone who was interesting to talk with, had a cheery manor & made my anxieties disappear. I can now say, with over a years experience, that I believe that I have found the 1 person in over many years, who is: an accomplished hairdresser, listens to what the customer wants & is such a pleasant person to share a casual hour with, each 4 weeks, chatting on all subjects, feeling relaxed & ending, without the need to screw-up your eyes & looking into the mirror in front of you, by actually saying how you feel about your hair, when asked an all-round excellent experience. I also know, from the many comments that I heard, on arrival, when a previous client is leaving Suzys talents are not exclusive to people of my age, but I have hear mothers leaving with their children & every age category all being so happy to book their next appointment, with Suzy, while pouring complements on Suzy as they smilingly leave the shop. My advice dont take my word for it if you really want to have your hair cut in the manner that you have requested & do not want to sit disappointingly watching someone elses creation emerging on your head & want to have an all-round good experience, call Micks barbers & ask for Suzy.
