I'd be afraid I'd snip my nipples!
Say What?!?! Topless Hair Salon Opens in Australia
Understanding your market’s wants and needs and knowing exactly what your clients’ desire out of their salon visit is important, especially when your patrons are one of the hardest demographics to get through the salon door—men—but isn't this going too far?

An Australian entrepreneur has launched a topless hairdressing salon "designed by men for men" in Sydney recently. Wojtek Wasilewski, owner of Hot Cuts, is giving his clientele something more stimulating to look at than just a GQ magazine. Topless and looking as if they are straight out of a strip club, the employees leave very little to the imagination. It took Wasilewski 18 months to find four girls who would be willing to strip down to their lacy skivvies. “I wanted to make the salon like a gentlemen's club,” said Wasilewski. “Business is booming. The phone has been ringing off the hook. I'm not surprised. They are stunning girls.” So stunning they are able to charge $60 for a cut and scalp massage.
It comes as no surprise the negative chatter circling about Wasilewski’s choice to open up a salon of this nature. Christina Arciuli, VP of Hair and Beauty, Australia’s Professional Hairdressers Association, was on camera raising a concerning eyebrow in regards to the safety of the hairdressers. With scissors, chemicals and razors being used in the salon, Arciuli strongly feels these hairdressers should be fully clothed and out of harms way. The clients on the other hand are saying, “safety shmafety.”
This business venture brings forth some important questions: Will this topless salon cast salon professionals and the industry into negative light? Will it harm the validity of this profession the same way shifty “happy ending” massage parlors have impaired the integrity of licensed massage therapy/spa establishments? Does this damage the “good name” hairdressers around the globe have worked so hard to protect?

I'd grow my hair long just so I could go get it cut there.

I used to work in a men's only salon. We did wigs, toupees and regular barber styling. I hated every minutes of it. The guys in the wigs and toups were foul and had a nasty stink to them. Most wouldn't take the wig off to wash it and waited until their appointment to come in and have us do it
One guy had his stitched to his head. Often his clips would become infected.
I wouldn't touch him. NO WAY, NO HOW! Fucking fire me. Most of the old men were leches. There were only girls working there too. I applied for the job on the other side in the ladies salon and they needed someone for the barbershop. I hated that place and quit for a lesser paying job, it was that bad. I can't imagine a topless joint! The nipple danger is bad enough, but the leches!!

The hairdressers near my shop have 'themes' day which all the men still flock to so you don't need to strip off!
There were all in England Football (soccor?) colours during the World Cup. They looked great, even though Lydia's shorts were too short!

The Aussies will try topless/naked ANYthing if given half a chance.

I think it's great. At least I did til TK started talking about an infected hair clip.

Sorry Jammin. It just brought back memories of working in that barber shop and the possibility of snipping a nipple giving a haircut.
It would be great if it were more sanitary. Lord knows I used to wear low cut shirts for tips all the time!

There used to be one up in the city where they wore lingerie, sadly I never made it up there for a trim.
