Haircuts and new bikes!

I've been going to the same hairdresser in Neutral Bay for about 5 or 6 years now. Cathouse has undergone a few changes since then and over time became more of a Rockabilly clothes shop that hairdressing salon. It didn't come as huge surprise to find out (via Facebook!) that it had closed it's doors for the last time.

After much research and nervousness both Jo and I decided to try Daniel Mostyn on King St in Newtown. Jo tried it out first on Saturday and then I went on Sunday. More about that later.

Earlier in the day we thought we'd take a nice long walk as it was such a great day and there haven't been many of those especially on the weekends for a while. We ended up walking through Surry Hills to Oxford St, Paddington. While walking along we randomly ended up looking in Woolys Wheels at some bikes. We weren't really looking but when I saw the Avanti Blade 2.0 I thought "why not take it for a spin, just for fun". We walked out with 2 brand new bikes!


Jo's Blade 2.0. Mine is the same but all matt black

So, after spending my surfboard insurance money on two bikes I went off to the hairdressers in search of a new look. I think I've had the same/similar haircut for probably around 18months - 2 years now so it was time for a change. And Daniel Mostyn is the place to go for something different! It's a very "out there" kinda place, with all black walls and a bit cage thing in the middle where they take photos of you and discuss what would suit you.

I met with Stacy, the Art Director for a chat (this was after my wine glass of water with lemon and little mini pudding!) and we decided to go darker in colour and a bit shorter in the cut. The colour was on in no time and I was taken to the dungeon room (all black walls, graffiti everywhere, no windows) for a shampoo. Then Stacy told me her "idea" for something different, which I thought sounded pretty cool so I went with it. You'll have to wait for my birthday party post for the photos :)

An Art Director to talk through a haircut!!?? I must have missed the meeting that made this mandatory... As long as my hair is neat, tidy and low maintenance then I'm happy... But then I am a boy!

Still waiting for the pics.. :)
