I am another reasonably satisfied customer for City Barbers, although I find all the football stuff…read morea bit dull: being in the centre of town, it is constantly busy during the weekends, and I have aimed to get my hair done during the week when the waiting time is usually short. It isn't very personal: the many barbers are work mean that I have never had the same stylist twice, and it is very much a cut and go- speed and accuracy, not banter are critical, but the price is fair for the location and the service efficient.

Doesn't matter where I go to get my haircut, more often than not, I end up coming back here…read moreeventually. Maybe it's just because it's handily placed in the city centre, even for folk that live outside the city like me, or because it's fairly cheap and quick? I don't know, but it covers all those bases and more for me. I'm not a stylish man, I admit. I don't look through GQ and whatever other mags are out there for men to pick this season's exciting style. People who know me, will attest to this. I'm strictly a short back and sides man, apart from that dalliance I had with long hair that I try not to talk about any more. City Barbers covers that easily, quickly and with minimum fuss. I'm always in and out of here in way less than 20 minutes. There's no appointments, just walk in and wait, although that's never long. While you wait, big screens show classic sporting moments from Scottish history, usually football, but I have seen rugby from time to time. The walls and ceilings are adorned with classic newspaper front pages, football magazines, boxing programmes, rugby articles... it's a treasure trove of history and almost worth visiting for alone. I admit it might not be for everyone, but if you just want a quick trim and to be on your way, I can't fault it.

The staff are peaceful, not intent on blathering, sharing ideas for a comedy show or testing your football knowledge. As a barbers, the cuts are straight-forward and simple, for the most part (at least, mine was), but done efficiently and accurately. Sadly, they couldn't hide the male pattern baldness, so I am sticking to wearing a hat.

I had been to Rebel Rebel once before in early 2010 and came away satisfied with the cut I…read morereceived. It was expensive (£18), but at least the quality was high and the staff seemed pleasant enough. After my second visit, I can't say the same. In fact, I won't be coming back. Without placing a reservation, I walked into Rebel Rebel while it was empty, which seemed fine to me. The senior barber was snippy with me about my lack of reservation, but begrudgingly took me on. Alarm bells. I'm not the kind of person that brings in a firm "style", like a photograph, and this seemed to irritate the barber, leading to more snippy talk about my few guidelines being "not enough to know what you want". Fair enough, but I don't feel like I've ever had this problem before, even in highly regarded barbers I've been to in the past, like the House of Lords in Toronto, Canada. Later on, another customer arrived and supplied much of the same general guidelines as me with no trouble, which I can only assume means there was a problem with me personally. After being seated, I realised I was in for quite a ride. The barber cut my hair as quickly as possible and in a very aggressive manner (complete with angry sounding deep breathing). It actually hurt me as she cut into my hair and she didn't really seem all that interested in what she was doing. In fact, listening to the radio seemed more of a concern. After more pain on the end of a hot hair straightener to my neck, the haircut was finally over and I was free to pay and leave. I was left to ponder if I'd done anything wrong. Maybe my lack of reservation was an issue. If it was, I'd have come back later on or on another day. Maybe I was snotty in some way? I don't think so. I do have a mild speech impediment and maybe this put the barber off on talking to me properly. Who knows. As I've said, I didn't have a firm style in mind and won't comment that the haircut wasn't what I wanted. I know that barbers aren't telepathic. That's fine. I took a gamble. However, my treatment by Rebel Rebel did not fit the "cool" image the place puts out. I shouldn't be sunk into the chair, hoping the haircut ends as soon as possible. I also shouldn't be treated as an outlet for someone else's frustrations. I'm a customer, not a punching bag. Maybe the barber was having a bad day. Perhaps I insulted her somehow. If so, I sincerely apologise. Just please, don't come at me with those scissors ever again.

So here I go again. Almost a year has passed since i first came in here and despite the economy flinging itself doon the toilet, the refreshing thing to note about RR is that they're prices seem to be exactly the same. Given there city centre locale, this is excellent to see. Cut again was great. Quick, nae messing about, but attention paid to what I wanted, how the cut was progressing and everything else that goes along with it. Yelp discount still applies, so the regular cut comes in at just over 14 notes. Pretty good in my books. I like it. It's one of the few places I trust when getting a mop chop. I'll return!
