$0.00

Last "barber" cut I got was just before I retired in 2011. I use the dog clippers with a #4 on top and a #3 on the sides and back. Sometimes I get the edges straight, sometimes not and couldn't care less.

$20+tip after the senior discount (which I had to remind them about). I've cut my own hair a couple of times (with some help from Mrs. A.) I'd do it every time if I didn't have to clean up after myself, maybe outdoors?

I have been looking for a competent regular barber for a long time now, seems like all the shops use Latinas with varying skills and attitudes. I had a sweet Vietnamese woman for about 20 years until she retired.

I have found over the years that one could do worse than finding a barbershop near a military base, and to stay away from those in exotic/vacation destinations.

Last haircut I paid cash for was 50 cents from a local alcoholic barber. That was in high school. Now I pay on the installment plan. Wife has been cutting it for 54 years. She's cuts it like she wants it and that's good enough for me.

$25 with tip.

$18+tip when I don't use my Flow Bee.

60 + 15 dollar tip. Hair and beard though.

$16 and I give her a $20. One of the benefits of small town living. I was paying more than that in California 30 years ago. But, the Ca girl was pretty hot looking.

The back patio works very will for me.

For years I got a haircut from a barber who did two tours in Vietnam on river patrol boats. He saw a lot of action and the unit he was in was the same one John Kerry served in. He said Kerry was an ass even then. Now I get a cut from a young woman and it is $23. I give her $40 and let her keep the change. She is a good kid but I miss the Vietnam stories.
