How much do you pay for haircut?

$22+ tip

They do a nice job but I think it's expensive.

How much for happy ending?

15 + 5 dollar tip. They usually spend an hour, seems fair. Canadian dollar isnt worth as much mind you.

You don't have any hair though.

$30 + $5 tip unless they did a wretched job (I shouldn't have tipped my last barber, I'm a few weeks out and it's obvious he fucked my cut up, couldn't tell at the time through the product he slathered in it, etc)

I know a Chinese lady in the embarcadero who can do it for 14 and she is awesome

Between 15 and 20 dollars but I give a tip usually 2 or 3 dollars sometimes 5 if I'm feeling generous and I'm looking/feeling great afterwards . I don't go to those fancy salons here , just your local Asian spot. And it's fine for my needs.

Fifteen quid.

$10 + $5 dollar tip. Pretty inexpensive, although 2 of the 3 barbers can't seem to cut my hair the way I want it, so I don't tip those two as much.

I just shave my head then pay randoms on craigslist to glue my pubes onto my bald head.

$25 + $10tip. Rudy's barbershop. I'd go cheaper but it's a 3 min walk from my house and they have me done in under 20 mins.

Used to pay this Asian dude named Chong to cut it, and it was expensive, but he did a really good job. I kind of got tired of how long it took, since I don't have a very extravagant hairstyle or anything, so now I go to a local place and they do pretty much the same job.

I shave my head, shave my dog's back, then switch his hair with mine.

After just getting cheapy chops and some not being great, there was a nice hair salon just step away from my flat in Camden town, and I thought, you know let's give a nice expensive cut a go.

I knew the owner from the area and walked in to book.

Told him I had a job interview that afternoon so only had about an hour tops to which he said that was more than enough. Day comes, get there and he introduces me to this Japanese girl who is going to do my cut. OK.

Her english is a bit broken but seems nice if a little shy/quiet. She washes my hair and it takes 20 full minutes (given that my hair is not even 2 inches long, I'm starting to get a bad feeling).

The she starts cutting with scissors. Fine I think, they don't use clippers in nice places like this. it goes on.

And On.

and fucking on. I look up at the clock and it's been 1 hour 20 minutes since I walked in and she still hasn't touch the other side of my head. The owner guy looks over and I gently give him the WTF? look.

He comes over and tries to discretely get her to speed up. I can tell she's been getting progressively more and more nervous, hands shaking a little bit etc.

This goes on for about 20 mins and she's doing the ear area and then moves on at which point it's now been 1:45 hours and I call the owner over as she's still not done, but I look up in the mirror and realize my shirt shoulder is a big patch of blood.

She's nicked my ear and it's dripping like fuck.

That's it, I tell the owner to get me a towel and he needs to finish the cut. He does so in under 10 mins, cut is fine, but nothing special shirt ruined, I've missed my interview.

......and he says "that will be �65 please".

"are you fucking serious?"

"er, oh nevermind, this one's on us".

I walk out and from that moment on, I've never spent more than $25 on a haircut lol.

Yikes.

Never been cut by a barber/hair dresser. I always get a bit nervous when they whip out the straight razor, but from personal experience that thing is easier to use on someone else than yourself.


Posted by DJ RANN on Feb-02-2016 22:15:

I swear, ears bleed like fucking crazy. She got me right on the outer edge and the fucker would just not stop dripping.

�30 (including tip)


Posted by rubez on Feb-03-2016 15:55:

cut my own... high and tight.

would have been �10 (inc tip) every 2 weeks... �250 saved a year. think the price for the hair cut is �6-7.

�30 a hair cut, WTF?! hipster barber? womens saloon? massive tip?

also, any hair cut that takes more than 6 minutes... there's something seriously wrong going on. i take less than 10 to do it myself with a multitude of mirrors and weird angles. i think the barbers are feigning 'value' by taking so long, fannying about.


Posted by Dykes_on_Jay on Feb-03-2016 16:15:

That post tells me why you can't afford a haircut.


Posted by on Feb-03-2016 16:19:

My barber takes 20 minutes and does detailed work, tapering the back, trimming the neck and even the eyebrows. I've received compliments which is unusual for a guy.

I'd agree 30 pounds is excessive...
