From reading the old forums, I got the impression that people who were maybe early in their transition or didn't 'pass' as well as they'd want to could have some issues with hairdressers and barbers when it came to getting the service that everyone is entitled to. This thread is for recommending hairdressers and barbers that you felt were both sensitive when it came to your personal needs as well as giving you a great service (eg. a good cut, showing ways to hide or enhance certain aspects of your face).
Keep it honest, short and free of cattiness.
Trans-Friendly Hairdressers and Barbers

E'van in Newcastle are good, not cheap though, but good.
Re: Trans-Friendly Hairdressers and Barbers
For guys in the Manchester area, I'd recommend the Funky Crop Shop on Bloom Street (in the Gay Village). They're a gay barber shop, so they don't really do female hair styles, and they are used to people who appear female but want male hair styles. Their prices are a bit higher than the average Manchester barber, but still extremely reasonable for a city centre place at about ÂŁ12 for a standard hair cut. And they should be fine if you do actually want to explain that you're FTM rather than let them assume you're a butch d*ke, but either way you shouldn't have any problems getting the haircut that you want.

Re: Trans-Friendly Hairdressers and Barbers
I have a guy come round to my home & cut my hair. He's been doing it since before I transitioned, and still does it. The transition did not bother him. He has another transsexual customer. His area is West Norfolk. If anyone needs his phone number, please send me a PM.
There are home hairdressers in most areas.

Re: Trans-Friendly Hairdressers and Barbers
This lady has recently cut my hair, plucked my eyebrows, waxed my legs and pierced my ears. She is very trans friendly. Her salon can only accommodate one customer at once, so it is private.
