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.

When I lived in Portland I went to the same barber for over 40 years. When the shop moved or he switched to a different shop I'd switch too. He charged $15 and I always gave him $20, later $25. Then 3 years ago I left Portland and had to find a new barber. There are only about 3 of them in the small town I moved to. The one I settled on charges $25, the girl is friendly does a good job so I usually give her $35.

Zero!
Wife cuts mine and her hair.
I trim my beard.

I’m easy. Closest Great Clip. Check in online. Every store has my instruction on file.

Same here!

$22 + $5 tip. Same barber since before retiring. Good job and he schedules appointments in quarter hour increments so no waiting (very useful when still working, not so important in retirement)

$40 with Tip.

After I moved here, I would go to a chain place, find someone I liked, and then she would be gone.

After reading a bunch of online reviews, I found a 1 woman shop. She is a very talkative German woman.
After a few visits, I just sit down and she cuts.

My wife has cut my hair for the past 52 years. So it is free or I'm paying through the nose.

$25 and a $5 tip to have it all clipped off

I haven't paid for a haircut since Summer 1969.

Over the years, between roommates and girlfriends, I've had some humiliating to decent jobs. The wife got good at it long ago, I've been very pleased, no complaints.

Buzz it off, let it grow for a few weeks, buzz it off again. My wife gets where I can't see. She also cleans up the back of my neck a couple times between buzz-offs.
