 As an alternative to the barber in NDHQ, I went -- and still go -- to 
 Barry Melthorpe's "Snobby's Hair Saloon" on Laurier Avenue East about 
 10 minutes walk from 17 NT (http://www.snobby.ca). He offers a 
 discount to members of the CF (same as his student discount) and does 
 a decent haircut, in my wife's expert opinion. Barry's a funny, 
 opinionated Englishman (was a cook in the RAF on National Service) who 
 runs the Simpsons and Seinfeld reruns on his shop's televisions most 
 of the day. It helps if you like dogs, though, there are always two 
 little Yorkies running about.
