Haircuts - How much $$ and how often?
- Thread starter Moreless
- Start date
15 USD every 3-4 weeks. My hair actually looks better cut down since it's curly but never actually gets very long.
I cut my own hair, once a week on Monday mornings.
You can buy this basic kit on Amazon ($22) and it should be all that you'll ever need.
I get up early on Monday and use a 22mm clip, and spending 10-15 minutes cutting my hair in a basic, easy style. It looks really good. I keep it short and simple.
It automates the process. I don't even think about it, it just happens and I don't have to worry about - worry about when I'll need to get a haircut, when I should go, etc.
Unless you want a specific style of haircut that a professional should be doing for you, I don't see why going to a hair salon/hair shop is, on the whole, more beneficial than cutting your own hair once a week. You save money, time, and worry. Cutting your own hair is not hard if you just use the basic 22mm clip, and run the clipper over your head in various places for 5-10 minutes. Afterward, sweep up the floor and step into the shower. I take a cold shower after I cut my hair and I feel great when it's all done.

A good hair cut is a good haircut.
Like a good car.
Its law of diminishing return. Paying more, doesn't make it better.
Its more about your barber/stylist and your relationship with that dude.
PS don't let a chick cut your hair, get a gay dude. There men, they know what looks good.
The most you should pay for a mens hair cut is 50.
But the US market for a good haircut, by a gay dude with good rep.
Is a going price of 35 plus 10 dollar tip.

It takes me around 30 minutes in total, I only go against the grain with the razor so there is a little stubble to fade up with, it takes about 2 minutes. I don't know about most barbers since I haven't been in a barbershop in 15 years but reggaeton star Yandel was a barber in a previous life and still does his own cuts:
I go every 4-6 weeks, 22 plus 8 tip, he does the cuts that are in, and he does them well. It took me a year going around the city to find this guy. Once you find who you like make friends with him and tip him well. There can be a line up out the door and he still takes his time and gives me exactly what I want every time.
I cut my own
I checked out china town...
It was $8 for the longest while but the evil capitalist just raised his price to $9.
I usually give him $12 with tip, come back every 5-7 weeks depending on my schedule and
he does a pretty good job. Actually he does a much better job than the $35 haircut I got when I first moved
into the neighbourhood.

It usually depends how much time I have free.
If I have a few hour's I will travel into London and get my haircut at Taylor Taylor (£50 / Head massage etc) or Toni & Guy (£45 with all the extras)
If I am strapped for time I will head to the barbers which are a 30 second walk away (£8 but I usually end up regretting it as they always give me an awful cut if I take my eyes off what the barber is doing and don't constantly instruct him)
On average I will get it cut every 2-3 weeks.
