Free haircuts for CSS/HTML
  • doctorlalloo
    Was having my haircut by Paul at Chaps & Dames the other day, he asked what I did - I said I design websites for a living...

    The talk came round to how much I'd charge for a simple website for C&D - he said he couldn't pay me much - but he could give me free haircuts for a year (£20 haircuts x 12 month = £240).

    I'm seriously considering it - but I need someone to build it. I'm sure the Free haircuts offer would extend to whoever the developer is as well.

    So any takers?

    £20 for a haircut? Daylight robbery.

    @krs - even worse than the £20, a haircut every month?

  • krappyrubsnifkrappyrubsnif
    @ShaunG - Exactly. Every six to eight weeks, I reckon. And then the real thing.

    While I'm a terribly soft touch for web work to mates and family, my hairdresser and the like would have to pay reasonable cash. Independent web designers & developers shoot themselves in the foot every time they take on these type of arrangements.

    @ optimo75 I hope you're recording the time spent discussing it here - clearly billable time. I think you're up to at least three haircuts already.

    Going by your previous work it's going to money well spent :-)

    haha I only got 12 metres of hessian for doing their site. Won't make that mistake again...

    That site has reminded me of my favourite piece of animated parsley of all time

    When it comes to haircuts - you get what you pay for - I've had £6-£10 haircuts (when I was skint) and always came out feeling like I was about to go into the military.

    I was really impressed with Paul's barbering skills - he took almost an hour to cut my hair. Properly.

    Not rushed. No clippers, just scissors, comb & razor.

    And yes - a haircut every month - I like to keep myself looking trimmed and neat.

    Look out for the new Chaps and Dames website (maybe) I'm sure we'll discuss in detail soon.

    : )

    I fondly remember the days when I had enough hair for an hour long haircut.

    These days I'm a Mets £6 special kind of guy. They get it right every time, not the military style either.

    I also refuse to do mates rates websites, take over half baked projects and charge more for work that a regular client might spring on me in the eleventh hour.

    @matt - I so know you're right.

    Whenever anyone mentions FREE to me I get all excited.
