Stylists Top Trumps
FaceBook
We’ve seen Top Trumps for superheroes, super cars and even super wrestlers. So now we at Pall Mall Barbers bring you The Top Trumps for Super Hair Stylists. For those who don’t know how to play, you have to divide the barbers up between the players and pit one stylist against the other. In each category the higher the numerical figure the better. The winner of each round gets to choose the category of the next round. So divided your barbers and go conquer!
NB – This information has been gleaned from interviews with the Hair Stylists and barbers are known to exaggerate and fabricate the truth. We apologise if any of their claim to fames are wide of the mark. To establish the truth you’ll just have to come in for a trim and ask them yourself.
