What's the chance of a haircut tomorrow?

Hi all,

I'm in need of a haircut, and wonder what the collective thoughts are of there being availability tomorrow at the LHR clubhouse. I'll be arriving at probably 8am for the 11:30am VS19.

Will I get lucky? or should I just get my hair cut today...

Problem is, previous performance doesn't guarantee future results. :D

I haven't had a problem on my visits since the new system was introduced, but there are those that have.

Just ask Jacki. :0 :w

Maybe we should start a thread reporting experiences? However, given the number of variables day to day, I am not sure how helpful it would be.

Good luck - I'd say it's 25:75 that you will. More likely, there'll be spa staff milling around claiming they are booked up ): .

I've had "COWSHED PRIORITY PASS" printed on my V-flyer luggage label - I'll let you know if it works!

Thanks all, I was too in need of a haircut to risk it, so I've had the mop chopped this morning. I'll try and get a shave there :-)

Well, I think it is safe to say I could have had a haircut if I had wanted - the place was deserted at 8am on a Sunday morning, although now at 9:40 it is much much busier.

Still, the shave I had was a wonderful experience :), very relaxing. Now just waiting for a Mojito as seems to be the v-flyer tradition.

What is the world coming to, no T10 on board, and apparently no Mojito's today :( Oh well straight to the champagne then.

It's a hard life - order a few at a time in case they disappear as well!

It was discussed when the new booking system was announced that few people who really needed a haircut would take the chance if they couldn't pre-book and you have proved this to be the case. It does seem that early flights fare better than the end of the day departures - VS200 is a no-hoper.

Maybe we could input a flight No, clubhouse arrival time and if a treatment was available so future pax could assess the chances of getting treatments in advance?
