$20, but only if there's "happy ending."

hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 4 June 2004 16:29 (twenty-one years ago)

oh wait, wrong thread.

The category of 'haircut' would exclude a bikini wax, right?

Aimless (Aimless), Friday, 4 June 2004 16:34 (twenty-one years ago)

If there's any cutting going on during my bikini waxes, my sense of honor obliges me to blood the offender.

How much d'I owe you Tyler?

Becks (Hereward), Friday, 4 June 2004 17:41 (twenty-one years ago)

i paid the most i've ever paid for a haircut yesterday - the equivalent of $22 - but it's maybe the best i've ever had (= i didn't hate it as soon as i got home)

m. (mitchlnw), Friday, 4 June 2004 17:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I pay $30 and tip $10. It should be $40 anyway but she's been cutting my hair for years and gives me a discount. Paying anything over that seems ridiculous when you have to cut your hair every four weeks.

I do know a hairdresser who charges something like $100 for just a men's cut. He's very good, but it's the salon name that makes it that expensive.

kyle (akmonday), Friday, 4 June 2004 17:51 (twenty-one years ago)

kyle are you a metrosexual?

HAMBURGER NEURON GROUP (ex machina), Friday, 4 June 2004 17:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I have been accused of this, but I don't think my clothes would qualify me.

kyle (akmonday), Friday, 4 June 2004 17:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I was fed up with the shitty haircuts I got at the shitty low-cost nationwide-chain barbers, so at the beginning of the year I went to a fancy salon and paid like $30. It was the worst haircut I've had in years.

oops (Oops), Friday, 4 June 2004 17:55 (twenty-one years ago)

HAIRCUTS SHOULD BE FREE JUST LIKE MUSIC

I am. When I lived in Paris I used to shag on the metro all the time. Gives one a lifetime membership without any annnual dues.

shagging on the metro gives you other things as well, Michael. Those dirty parisiennes!

Michael White (Hereward), Friday, 4 June 2004 18:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't speak french!

Living in the SF Bay Area: people here look worse than NYC or London, I find. Really most people can't be bothered to get out of their sweats and their flip flops, even in the financial district. This goes for lots of gay men as well (assuming that's where the pressure would come from).

I'm already married so I don't feel any pressure to look good anymore!

kyle (akmonday), Friday, 4 June 2004 18:15 (twenty-one years ago)

amateur!st (amateurist), Friday, 4 June 2004 19:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I cut my hair too, though I do need some more lubricating oil for my clippers. Apparently you can use 3-in-1. We'll see.

Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 4 June 2004 19:53 (twenty-one years ago)

AUS $7.00

the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 4 June 2004 20:01 (twenty-one years ago)

do you cut other ppl's hair too Mark? Having a really short haircut is one of those things that I've never had the guts to do - at the age of 33 I still think "No! My Mum'd kill me!"

I have recently had to find a new hairdresser as the one I'd been going to in London closed down - I'd been going there since I was 7! The cost of a haircut has therefore rocketed from £7 to £13 (I didn't go to London *specially* to get a haircut, obv.)

MarkH (MarkH), Saturday, 5 June 2004 09:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I wouldn't spend more than £6.

HAMBURGER NEURON GROUP (ex machina), Saturday, 5 June 2004 20:40 (twenty-one years ago)

The most I've paid was at a Toni & Guy, $50. But I had to get it cut for a funeral and that was the only place I could get into. The haircut sucked.

miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Saturday, 5 June 2004 21:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I pay $40 + $10 tip, and that seems pretty reasonable for me

phil-two (phil-two), Saturday, 5 June 2004 22:02 (twenty-one years ago)

i pay 12 plus 3 tip

i dont see what is wrong with spending up to 40 bucks.
i just dont do it.

todd swiss (eliti), Saturday, 5 June 2004 23:28 (twenty-one years ago)

40 bucks every 4 weeks = $520 a year

HAMBURGER NEURON GROUP (ex machina), Sunday, 6 June 2004 02:08 (twenty-one years ago)

One would think a price decrease would be in order for a thinning hairline. Less real estate to be mowed. So I treat myself to the gratis eyebrow trim now and then. 12 bucks plus tip US.

jim wentworth (wench), Sunday, 6 June 2004 02:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I PAY NOTHING

VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Sunday, 6 June 2004 05:18 (twenty-one years ago)

a haircut every 4 weeks is ridiculous.

i get one every three months, if that.

todd swiss (eliti), Sunday, 6 June 2004 06:38 (twenty-one years ago)

$5 but only if the sign is scribbled on butchers paper and indicates you need to proceed down a dark alley.

mullygrubber (gaz), Sunday, 6 June 2004 08:22 (twenty-one years ago)

£15, but every six months or so and sometimes not even that. Once I didn't get my hair cut for 3 years, so I have a large 'hair debt' in my favour.

Vic Fluro, Sunday, 6 June 2004 22:09 (twenty-one years ago)

In the south, one time I paid a ridiculous amount as I didn't really check the prices before going in... otherwise, the cheapest I can find is £8.50 or so.
In t' north, the average is more about £4.

Tom May (Tom May), Sunday, 6 June 2004 23:22 (twenty-one years ago)

after receiving the crappiest haircut i have ever known i swore off the cheap places. now, including tip, i pay $25 canuk bucks and i do it gladly.

This is not the sort of thread to say I pay £35 ($65) on, is it?

___ (___), Monday, 7 June 2004 15:07 (twenty-one years ago)

I pay $15 with tip at the little salon right close to where I live. I feel that's about right, the service did me in on the whole $7 barbershop thing.

HIDDEN SCAM OF THE MILITARY: When in Basic Training, we were actually required to pay for our mandatory haircuts. Granted they were like $4 and no tipping, but you would think if they're going to require that you SHAVE YOUR HEAD COMPLETELY they would let you have it for FREE.

I once considered getting my own clippers and just doing the #2 guard all over the head thing but I end up looking way too much like this:
http://madaboutewan.users.btopenworld.com/harveynicks_050902.jpg

MORE MILITARY HAIRCUT TRIVIA:

At Fort Meade we had one barber, a white-haired old man, who had a bit of a legend about him as the Psychic Barber. Numerous people I knew personally had had their hair cut by him and with nary a word of introduction from you he would cut right to the chase, explain your problem to you and then tell you what was about to happen in your future. He predicted among other things a pregnancy, a long-term relationship and for at least one person he was a harbinger of bad news on the way. In my case it was just a little spooky that he seemed to know so much about my personal history with relationships, he didn't really predict so much as just advise that all I really needed to find a nice girl was a good attitude and a decent haircut (not particularly useful advice in its vagueness, I suppose saying "GO TO NYC AND MEET INTERNET PEOPLE" would have spoiled it a bit though).

Anyway, psychic barber, Spinktor and Helltime to thread.

TOMBOT, Monday, 7 June 2004 15:39 (twenty-one years ago)

a psychic barber sound awsome -did you tip him (even tho you mentioned no tipping)¿

dyson (dyson), Monday, 7 June 2004 15:48 (twenty-one years ago)

but damn, i look good.

cutty (mcutt), Monday, 7 June 2004 15:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh no, the no-tipping was for the BMT prison style chop shop shit. Still boggled by the fact that they made us pay for those haircuts. We MARCHED IN FORMATION to the barbershop and lined up triple file once inside, one after the other to endure the clippers of uniformity and lice-free communal living. Then we paid, one by one, on the way out, with our USAF-issued debit cards on a little machine they had in the corner. Yes, we had USAF debit cards, trainees were not allowed to carry cash at any time.

After being upgraded from treated-as-incorrigible-children to treated-as-delinquent-teenagers, we tipped at the base barbershop. The difference being that you could sort of ask for a fade on the side if you felt like it (service!!!).

It would depend on the inflections.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 7 June 2004 16:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I pay about £30. There doesn't really seem to be a middle ground between a 5 minute barber charging £4 and a proper trained hairdresser like what women use.

El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Monday, 7 June 2004 16:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I dunno, now that I think about it the psychic barber is sorta the incarnation of secular Calvinism. "You are the elect. You, on the other hand, are the damned."

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 7 June 2004 16:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, my hairdresser recently got promoted, hence my whack up to £35. But she is about the only person who has ever made my hair look close to reasonable (I seriously dislike my hair - it is very very thick). So, it's worth it.

Manicures and stuff are a big no though, cutty.

___ (___), Monday, 7 June 2004 16:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I've paid a hundred quid plus tip, before (I had NO idea it wld cost that much - I knew it was expensive so I asked them to do fancy dye bollocks to get my money's worth, at which point they doubled the price). It was kinda blinding, but I reckon bloody-minded determination to love it after wasting that much cash was probably a factor.

How much money would you pay them to get a haircut?

VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 8 June 2004 20:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I have paid upwards of $300 to get my hair cut and colored. I think my haircut costs like $60 +tip but my hairdresser is Russian and I like to imagine her life was very hard and Dostoyevskian so I don't feel bad about paying more than my two friends who go to this Japanese dude pay. She really does charge too much for the color though, though she definitely does it better than anyone else who ever did it, thankfully I have stopped dying my hair due to lack of fundage/sick of hair breakage so there you go.

I do not recommend any man ever pay anything close to this. It is too cosmopolitan for me, I fear.

I love Fish's shampoo and hair goo.

I have never been to their salon tho.

I pay 30 euro for my haircut, but my hair grows incredibly slowly so I don't have it cut too often, and hence don't mind paying for a decent cut. Plus I know the person who cuts it so it just seems normal to go back. I last got it cut at the end of July and it's just messy as opposed to lengthy.

Dispense with haircutting entirely! Let your locks be free! Show that you are too busy thinking of the future of art and the past of literature to be bothered with anything so mundane as the care and cutting of your hair!

Ah! The Feinbos! (kate), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 15:49 (twenty years ago)

I recently paid the most I've ever paid which was $40. It wasn't even a good haircut honestly. I think $25 is my ceiling from now on -- especially for the type of haircut I get which is always pretty simple. The only reason I don't just go to a barber is that I have thick hair, which is hard to cut and easy to cut unevenly.

I also only get one every few months so the price doesn't make an enormous difference.

Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 15:51 (twenty years ago)

I last paid about $70.

adamrl (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 16:08 (twenty years ago)

adamrl (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 16:09 (twenty years ago)

I've been paying $45 for a few years now, I don't even really know what the woman who cuts my hair charges, that's just what I give her.

I have paid £100, which was worth every penny.

I last paid £45 or so, which wasn't.

my mom once paid $150 for a haircut for me...

a couple of weeks ago i paid $55 plus $15 tip. it wasn't worth it though, as it didn't really look like i'd gotten a haircut. in fact, not even my girlfriend noticed. a couple days later she said, "did you say you were going to get a haircut?" i frowned decisively.

i used to cut my own hair (without a mirror even!). i would walk into an ivy patch by my house and let my hair fall into the foliage. i only realized just now that maybe that's gross. it was fun though. until i messed it up so bad once that i had to get a buzzcut. that was upsetting.
