Anyone been to one? Went to the Ted Baker one in Mayfair today, they light a cotton wool stick thing soaked in flammable liquid and then put the flame on your ears to burn the hair off

It was pretty painful.

£23.50.

Average price in London is probably about £18 so it was a small premium.

TBH I don't care about all the frills, I just want a good haircut, if I can find somewhere that will do that and costs £2 I will use them. But I can't sadly.

It is expensive, but they do a good job, much better attention to detail than most places. They spend about 30 minutes on each person.

You are probably paying a premium for the Ted Baker name.

I don't have any actually in my ears

Just the tiny little hairs on the outside, pretty sure everyone gets that?

Well, it's only for the outside of your ears. Well for me it was anyway, my ears still hurt TBH and it was over an hour ago.
