Pretty much this. Have had one regular barber in my life. Passed close to 20 years ago and I miss the experience. Last cut was $17.

20 + $10 tip.

My guy CJ is $30, which has been the same for the last 4 years. I always give home $40. Every 3-4 weeks, knows exactly what I want and does a fantastic job!

$30 ish is the market rate here, been on an experiment to grow mine out, at Lowes a guy came up and said "you luck like Lucky Costa from HRG TV show" told him thanks, just have the hair and age, no tv talent though....

I pay nothing. The wife has been cutting my hair for over thirty years. She does a good job.

Couple minutes with this, two or three times a week. Paid for itself quickly.

More significant than the money saved: no more driving to the barber, finding a parking place, waiting for my turn in the chair, all of which eats at least an hour, sometimes closer to two.

Both my Sons (13 & 11) use the same barber and $46 will cover both of their haircuts plus a tip.

I have just enough hair left that I still have to bother having a professional cut it. My remaining hair has a few quirks and I found a guy who knows how to cut it to make the end product look decent instead of silly and I pay him $40 tip included.

I go every 2-3 months when Great Clips sends me a coupon, so on average $10 + $5 tip. My hair is thinning, so my cuts are pretty easy.

Your haircut is the most expensive by far.

Right there with ya.
Well… on the first part, at least.

Once in a while I slip up and leave a #2 on the clippers. Shrug, say “oh, well,” and carry on.

I'd rather a #2, especially in the summer. She doesn't like it so short.
When I was going to get it cut, I'd do a 2.5 on the sides & 4 on top

$30 + $10 tip. I know what his rent looks like. I am on the calendar every 6 weeks. I tip $100 for the Christmas cut.

Support your local guy.

I think the last Male barber I had was maybe when I was a kid up to a teenager,


been women every since,

my barber or stylist of about 23 yrs just retired, clip the sides, sissor the top, and shave the neck, and if needed trim the beard,

28$, I would give her $40

moved on to another lady in the same salon, and pay her the same,

A good friend of mine cuts my hair and she does a great job and is meticulous. She charges $30, I give her $40.

100 pesos

The barber in our small village charged $15, I always gave him a $20. He had to leave when his wife (the main bread winner) needed to relocate to Richmond.
The new barbers that took over charge $25 and didn't have change for a $100 so I had to use my card. Tip options were 20, 25, or 30%. I checked 20% so it cost me $30, a 50% increase.
I'll find someone else hell I don't have that much hair anyway!

Been going to the same barber for 20 years. Used to be $9 for a normal haircut (clippers on the sides and scissors on top). They bumped it to $11 during COVID.

It's a fantastic deal if you ask me! And this place isn't in the sticks either. It's in Columbia, MD.

$30 and a $10 tip. Get a haircut when involved in some event and that's about 3 or 4 times a year. And nothing gets cut on what's left on top.

#1 on the sides, #3 on the top. Every three weeks, currently $20 but going up September 1st to $25, plus tip of course.
