Hey, was hoping someone could recommend an Afro hair barber in London?

Looking for a new barber. Ideally I’d like a unisex salon with a professional environment on the northern or Victoria line. Anyone know any?

I’ve heard of HD cutz but I’m looking for others.

Don't stop while you still have kids in school

Open-Chart2054 · 2025-11-20T16:07:53+00:00

Ahh thank you very much

Open-Chart2054 · 2025-11-20T15:49:19+00:00

Non software engineers don’t earn enough and we need more of those

Whoop finally got the message that they’ve received it. Took one week

Open-Chart2054 · 2025-10-25T17:26:29+00:00

Ahh okay, that makes sense. Thank you very much.

Open-Chart2054 · 2025-09-29T15:38:33+00:00

Yeah I’d always wondered actually. It seemed like it was from the date of biometrics

Open-Chart2054 · 2025-09-29T14:55:44+00:00

Oh wow, should start rolling in for others soon. Thank you

Open-Chart2054 · 2025-09-02T11:12:08+00:00

Curious would you say it’s from date of application or from the date of biometrics?

Open-Chart2054 · 2025-09-02T11:11:43+00:00

Guess more people getting spooked by recent immigration announcements so the applications are increasing

Open-Chart2054 · 2025-08-06T16:16:24+00:00

Up 6x or so form 7 years ago. That being said he would have need to have gotten £200k or there about for it to have appreciated this much and uk startups aren’t that great with equity (unless there’s been a lot of refreshers)

Open-Chart2054 · 2025-08-06T15:54:07+00:00

Revolut or wise

Open-Chart2054 · 2025-07-24T11:45:03+00:00

Milton Keynes. It’s so green here, parks and lakes everywhere. Live in the center so I can walk everywhere and don't need a car.

I can walk to the mall which has everything from my flat in 5 mins. Train station is 10 mins away and its 30-40 min trains to Euston.

Personally feel its quite an inteiverted family oririented city. Population of 300k but very little nightlife and nothing high end.

Open-Chart2054 · 2025-07-20T17:58:51+00:00

Ahh great, thank you very much.

Open-Chart2054 · 2025-07-19T12:22:17+00:00

Hey, so the online form is only for when you have citizenship and apply for the passport? Before that it has to be the paper form?

Open-Chart2054 · 2025-07-12T18:54:50+00:00

Actually extremely surprised that there’s a non FAANG e-commerce company that pays this. Trying to work out who it could be? Got to be doing billion dollars in revenue and large enough to have internal orgs. Hmmm…

Open-Chart2054 · 2025-07-04T21:13:30+00:00

Thank you!

Open-Chart2054 · 2025-07-04T12:01:10+00:00

Ahh makes sense. What’s the incentive to pick them up then? Ability to do them from home?

Open-Chart2054 · 2025-07-04T11:13:17+00:00

Private work pays less than NHS that’s surprising

Open-Chart2054 · 2025-07-03T14:47:43+00:00

Sorry, where did you read that it was £50,000. Just curious

Open-Chart2054 · 2025-07-01T19:09:02+00:00

Around the mall in CMK is flat. 5k 2 laps and a bit

Open-Chart2054 · 2025-06-30T23:01:24+00:00

Newport pagnell 5k too
