I've lived in Munich for about a year now and have been taking my chances with cheap hair salons…read moresince my hair is relatively simple, however the last couple cuts haven't been that great. So, I decided to suck it up and shell out a some cash for a good haircut. Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's absolutely necessary to pay absurd prices for a good haircut, but I do think the probability that you'll get what you want is higher.
Anyway, I gave SHAG a try last week since it's in my neighborhood and was very pleased with my haircut. After being offered a drink, I was consulted in the beginning on exactly what I wanted to do with my hair, and in the end it was one of the best cuts I've gotten since moving over here. The head message was also a nice bonus :) I'll definitely be back!
