Haircuts. Where and how much $$?

[einhander]

I go to a place on Wellington St in Central. Like $50 including tip.

Usually pay around $20-$30. Never satisfied. Tell them what I want done, even show them pictures of myself with my hair how I like it, then they get their own ideas and go nuts.

Been going to the same barber for about 13 years. I only go weekly, I used to go twice a week in high school. The price at this point is up to $15. Never tip, my tip is coming back every week for 13 years!

I can't imagine going weekly, let alone twice a week. Most I've ever done is buzz my own ever other week

This is pretty much what I look like, so the just cost of Gillette Fusion razors.

Fantastic Sams/Supercuts/etc.

as opposed to some chick telling me to look in the book and point at a picture.

As mentioned earlier, if those girls were good at their jobs they'd be doing booth rent at a proper salon.

Not making $11/hr or whatever.

Just went to a Barbershop for the first time after having women cut my hair at various chain locations like Fantastic Sams/Supercuts/etc. and always leaving unhappy. It was the first time I've had a guy cut my hair.

Best haircut I've ever had, and he knew exactly what I wanted by conversation, as opposed to some chick telling me to look in the book and point at a picture.

I always tip a $5 on top of whatever the cost is, so anywhere between $16-20. I usually go once every 90+ days or so, but I think I'll be going more regularly and keep it maintained.

Free, wife's a hair sylist (has been for 10+ years I think).

I think she charges $25 for a men's cut and $40-45 for a women's cut. Not sure, would have to ask.

A friend at a frou frou salon cuts my hair. I don't mess around. and yes, I am pleased with my self.

[pureaudio]

My wife's cousin owns a salon, if I try and pay more than $15 she will cancel the debit transaction. I also buy hair products from her and she only lets me pay cost. If it cost me triple that for a haircut, I'd still do it though. Once you experience a great cut from someone who is making a career out of this you will never go back to the Best Buy employee equivalent of a hairdresser.

just got my hair cut today at a little chinese barber shop, $12 and the barber took a straight razor to the back of my neck. I declined the hot towel, however. $5 tip and on my way

[evandael]

i typically let various girlfriends/friends cut it once i get sick of the length. it's free and i trust them, plus if worse comes to worse, i'll just buzz it down to a 3 and start fresh!

[ButtJuice]

I cut my own hair. Ha! I'm thinking about going to a legitimate salon though, my skill is subpar.

My friend just cut my hair yesterday, I hate it.

When I lived with my parents I went to Anawood Barbers in Anaheim. Angel and Gilbert opened that shop in 1960 and were in the same location, with the same amount of chairs for 40+ years. I went there for fifteen years. Angel became sick and passed away. Gilbert got a little cuckoo and would stop cutting hair, walk over to Spires and get a rice pudding or something, leaving someone in the chair and several people waiting. Or he would go outside and use the pay phone to call and pay his utility bills, again, leaving someone in the chair and people waiting. Me and all the other regulars put up with it because he was a nice guy who did good work for a good price. He passed away, too. :(

Now I go to the Vietnamese-owned and operated salon that cuts mens hair as a necessary evil. For people like me that get a clipper cut, a process that lasts no longer than 10 minutes including shampoo, it seems fair to pay $11 including tip. That said, based on what seems to be the norm for r3v, I may bump that up to a $5 tip. I get a haircut every three weeks, so maybe not :p

I am pleasantly surprised that you guys are good tippers. A little shocked, actually ;)
