How much do you spend for a haircut?

This also begs the question–how often do you get your hair cut?

Higgs may only pay $15, but he might get his hair cut once a week. Itera can afford a $100 haircut, but he only gets it cut/permed/styled/dried every six months.

Me? I pay $15 per cut (tip included), and get it cut every 2-3 weeks. I know that I should probably get it cut every week for a more professional look, but 2-3 weeks seems to work for me.

always tip the stylist 15 %

^^ I’m mostly bald. I just take clippers to my head every week #1 or #2 setting though, so no hacksaw.

#45

The real question should also ask for haircut times per year and thus annual haircut spending. For me, 12 haircuts a year at $20 per haircut, a $240 annual haircut spend.

#46

I go to the strip mall joints with TV’s showing sports and a junior college dropout cutting hair. Cut, shampoo, a shitty neck massage and a hot towel on the face. Usually runs $18-$22 and then I tip $7 or $8.

Wtf are you talking about? Scalping or GTFO.

#51

I only get my hair cut 5-6 times per year. As long as I keep the sideburns neat, letting it grow for so long isn’t an issue.

#52

Looks like only 1 person’s barber in this thread went to a top 2 barber school.

#53

I go about once every 6 weeks. A little less frequently in winter. I usually notice if my sideburns are getting too unwieldy or it gets hard to comb it right.

Reading this thread reminds me of the times when a barber used a straight edged razor on the back of my neck, and the nice warm shaving cream. I miss that, and haven’t had that in ages.

As for tipping, since I go to the same place regularly, I like them to treat me well and make an effort. If they know I tip, and other people don’t, I feel it makes them try a little harder to keep me pleased.

always go to a barber if you are a male. Fantastic Sam’s, Great Clips, and SuperCuts are hacksaw and the people who cut hair at these places are beauticians.

#55

This is true, I try to go every other month (although with time crunch that sometimes gets pushed to 2.5 or so)

I usually have them cut it a little shorter than I like it because it gives me an extra week or so between cuts.

#56

So does your hair grow over your ears? I can’t stand it when my hair starts touching the top of my ears.

It never used to bother me to have long-ish hair. (Not quite the Beatles look, but close.) But since I joined the Marines, I can’t stand having hair on the back of my neck or my ears. I’d go back to a high-and-tight if I didn’t look like a retard. (A fat guy with a big head sporting a military haircut just looks like a dumbass.)

#57

So true. Always went to those types of places when I was younger as my mother would just drop me off there. Finally went ot a real barber a few years ago and never looked back. A real trained barber makes your hair look 10x better than someone who works at a SuperCuts etc.

#58

I use trimmers to clean up around the ears or the back of my neck so I don’t have roll in there every month.

#59

In junior high, my parents used to drop me off at super cuts, and god it was awful. My parents usually never gave a damn about me, but they were like wtf happened, when my haircut was done

Seriously 2-3 weeks? Wow that’s really frequent. For really short hair I guess it makes sense
