    Why do you want your hair cut in Wick if you live in Thurso? Are their babers not good enough?

    Anyway, I go to the one which is on the steep hill going down to the harbour. I've completely forgotten the name of the road now. It's where the Simpsons oils are.

    Oh and before any admin/ moderator decides to give me infraction points for posting personal information- it says he's from Thurso in his name!

    hehe! I know!

    Wait but now you might get infraction points for suggesting indirectly that the moderators are too strict!

    It's around £6 I think. Very good though and very friendly. No booking required.

    I'd expect it would be the same except it's a stranger cutting your hair who is trained. You also need to know what you want eg. 1, 2, 3 etc.. or just a general tidy up. All you do is, sit back, tell them what you want done and they cut it for you. You get the scissors, a thining scissors (which I hated when I was younger as it used to pull my hair out! haha) and also the head shaver.

    That's about all.
