Beauty & Style How much do you pay for your haircuts?

[Hawk Dork]

In parts of the USA for sure. Our minimum wage isn’t that bad. A barber wouldn’t be on minimum wage but tips are customary in service industries.

My friend in NY said the only place you dont tip is Chinese Restaurants ?????
I dont think he was a racist or pulling my leg, but apparently that is a thing in NY or the rest of the US ???
When we went to Chinatown he didnt tip and said it wasnt expected ????

Not sure. That's weird. I'd tip any proper restaurant (not fast food).

Nothing. As I'm goin bald, missus just shaves it off. Use to pay $10 at a quick cuts place, but that quickly added up considering the time it took and fact that it was just a clipper all over (no guard).

 

[Stratton_Gun]

$25/30 ( depending on who I see) every 2 or 3 weeks. Sounds like a lot but a fade goes quickly. There aren't too many styles that fit my head so may as well keep it looking good.

when i was getting haircuts i was paying $45 and would be in the chair for 45 mins.
but i have long hair now, long enough for manbun if i was so inclined

 

[Spongebob]

I think I used to pay $30, seniors rate.

When I was going into hospital for cervical spine surgery (5 vertebrae in the neck), I got out the clippers and removed it all. Not a look I like, but learnt from earlier shoulder surgery that it hurts like crap to try and lift arms to wash hair.

Since I have allowed it to grow back, just hitting the sticking out bits with the clippers.

Rocking my grey/white lockdown mullet. Not a good look, but better than the nude nut.

20 bucks, a mate goes to a barber who does a shave as well which I'd like to try, but at 50 bucks seems a bit exxy.

Unless you are an actor on TV or something this is ridiculous.

a fair amount but sacrifices must be made if you want to look like youre in duran duran

 

[iluvparis]

$30 when the trouble doesn't cut it.

Go to a turkish barber

Seems about right. I pay about $45 for a cut and beard trim. I'm going tomorrow for the first time in a few months so I wonder if the price has gone up.

 

[Vincent Hanna]

$25 buzz
$40 fade/trim/anything other that a buzz

Great local barber, only take online bookings unless it's a quiet day so you are never waiting long at all.

$10 a week is pretty much nothing lol. Small price to pay to look good. Lockdown was not looking good and would have paid about triple that (if had somewhere to be lol)

My last haircut was in Indo

Cbf getting rid of the mane at the moment, one day I’ll shave it off or get a $25 job.

Does he do the flaming cotton ball to get rid of the bumfluff ?
I had the works in Turkey ,it was only a $1 a few years ago now though

 

[Billy ray]

Mine does that. He also has whisky under the counter if one is so inclined.

Flaming cotton ball? That’s a new one on me

 

[PoppedCorn]

$0 for a haircut in my house

Had the kids give me some terrible hair cuts during covid and lockdown. Great fun.

Otherwise do it myself (number 2 all over)

Opposite for me
Mines the same length all over past shoulder blades
Comb it straight out and trim the deadends

 

[Plugger35]

You can get a haircut for free if you just "lose"' your wallet, it can backfire though.

Zero - do it myself, buzz cut

Same.

Got one of those nifty hand held shaver thingies that goes to the skin.

 

[DaRick]

$25 once every 3-4 months does it for me.

I don't go overboard on ensuring that it remains short, but I also don't develop a mullet (very unnecessary in hotter Brisbane weather).

EDIT: In the interests of disclosure, I invariably go Blade #3 or #4 on the sides and back while leaving the top slightly longer and slicked back.

 

[Kram]

Got a great cut today for $30.

COVID reinforced to me how over rated haircuts are. Never again will I have a hair cut. The fake conversation alone is excruciating,
