A business man was in BrainBashers Village for a meeting. He had time to spare before the meeting, so he decided to get a haircut. He looked at a street map and was surprised to find that there were only two barbers in town, right across the road from each other. He walked across the village and came to the two barber shops. He went into the first one and was shocked by the dirtiness and the hair everywhere. The place was a mess! He looked at the barber and the barber had a really messy haircut all in his face and uneven. He went across the street to the other barber and saw the place was immaculate, clean and shining like new. The barber was nicely dressed and had a dazzling haircut: it was perfect. However, the man walked across the street and got his haircut at the shabby barbers. Why?

Becoz, there are only two barbers for the entire village. Even the barbers need to have a hair cut.

Because the Shabby barber is the one whose place was all messy with hairs and he was unshaven and wild hairdo. This proves that his shop is visited by all the villagers often for haircut and that he must be good at his job to attract all the crowd.

On the other hand, the barber with clean shop and clean looks was the barber who had no clients as he was not considered as good as the untidy barber.

Thus the man went into the untidy barber's shop for haircut !! :)

Since there are only two barbers in the town, the shabby barber's hair was cut by the neat barber and vice versa. Needless to say, the shabby looking barber is a good barber. Hence he goes to him. :)

If the barber is well dressed and the saloon is neat means there is no one coming there. The shop may be perfect but the person is not.

Because image is not important when you just want your hair cot. The first one was working... because it was a mess... The second one we don't know if the guy was able to cut anything. May be he was good at cleaning, not in cutting the hair...

My best regards,
Good problem

Because he didn't have enough money to spend on haircut as the other shop is of good standard.

Bcoz there were only two barbers in town.must have cut each other's hair. As the messy barber had a poor haircut was performed from the clean barber. The good haircut was performed by the messy barber.

The correct answer is --> Since people can't cut their own hair and there were only two barbers in town, the two barbers must have cut each other's hair. As the messy barber had a poor haircut, it must have been from the clean barber. The good haircut was therefore performed by the messy barber.

Wishes to all for making an attempt and congratz to those who guessed it right........ :)
