Daytona Introduces Bikini Barbers

[Acturus]

Not as cool as the now-defunkt topless coffee shop, but still. Daytona, Florida, has this love-hate relationship with Bike Week (starts today I believe), and in their effort to make Bike Week more family friendly, they've got this goofy promotion to get bikers in and cleaned up.

Silliness I tell you.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Bikers from all over the world are rolling in to Daytona Beach for Bike Week and there is a new business hoping to attract the surge of customers, a Bikini Barber Shop.

Bikini barbers are scantily clad cosmetologists, professional and licensed -- they just wear the same thing they wear to the beach, to work.

Jim Stevenson scheduled his grand opening around Bike Week. He said Bikini Barbers and motorcyclists go hand in hand. City commissioners worry that half-clothed women won’t be good for the city’s image after the biking events are over.

Commissioner Rick Shiver said the city wants to attract more family-oriented businesses to sustain the city’s economy year-round.

Stevenson said the Bikini Barber Shop is a family atmosphere mixed with a little creativity.

"We're looking to be in a family fun oriented atmosphere, you'll see a lot worst, on the beach than this,” Stevenson said.

The radio station I was listening to this morning said it was a program that would only be in effect during Bike Week, which sucks. But here's to hoping it takes off (no pun intended) and helps promote other scantily-clad business ventures.

I think that's gross. They're going to get hair all over themselves and just look disgusting and sloppy. Maybe guys don't care about that but I would never go there, even if it was a guy in his trunks cutting my hair. I don't want my trimmed hair all over you, that is not sexy/appealing at all.

They had the same thing here, in Utah, for a while. It was called Bikini Cuts. I thought it was weird.

Massive blowdryer in the back where the hair is blown off them. Sounds pretty sexy to me. OFC every haircut a woman has ever given me has been shit. I'll stick with my old eyetalian barber.

Blow dryers do not get off the wet little hairs, I don't care how massive it is.

plz

Maybe the barbers are really oiled up?

[Ivve]

Sounds itchy. Getting cut hairs in the waistline of your bikini bottoms, and then pulling it away from your body to dust them away and having them fall into your crotch sounds like the most fucking disgusting thing I've heard in a long time.

Solution: transparent raincoats.

[Ivve]

Sounds unsexy and really uncomfortable for anyone working in one.

[ZarakiKujata]

solution: naked under seethrough latex bodysuit.

This doesnt sound attractive at all.
