why can't you get a haircut at the airport? it would be so convenient
Scissors. Everyone knows they’re a key tool in the hijacker’s arsenal. Especially the tiny nail scissors.
Would also need a shower at the airport. Can’t get a haircut without a shower right after😖
the itch from having leftover snippets of hair in my clothes on a long flight sounds painful.
Virgin lounge at Heathrow used to have a barber (and a spa and pool tables!)
Pretty sure I've seen barbers before. If not, maybe it's a weird licensure thing? Like a carry over from the old-world restrictions on barbering. Might be totally off base here. It's such a good idea there must be an equally bad idea stopping it, right?
Have worked with a few airport owners and it's amazing the reality distortion field they live in. A belief they are the destination, not a means to an end. Can understand why from a traditional revenue stream perspective — but a missed opportunity to innovate
Sometimes it feels like a close shave when you just make the flight in time...
Airport profitability maximization is all about profit per limited sq ft Gates & Parking are high profitability Shops need to do massive turnover to deliver profits, pay high rent Hard to make economics work for haircuts vs. fast food and on-the-go shops, i don't think the salon owner could afford the rent
Not sure about other airports, but in the domestic terminal in Cape Town you most certainly can, as well as get a manicure if you please.
Piggybacking on this one to ask why airport coffee is so universally shitty. Surely major airports are high-traffic enough to support at least one decent third wave place.
