Haircuts - How much $$ and how often?
- Thread starter Moreless
- Start date
I usually keep my hair medium length on top and a number 3 guard on sides and back, and I let it go usually 3 months between cuts. Sometimes I have my dad touch it up for free so I can go longer without going to someone. When I do get it cut by a pro, it's either from the local barber for $19 bucks or a Supercuts for like $14. I don't like spending money on haircuts too often considering I've learned to style it well at all lengths. Right now I'm growing it to five or six inches on top and will get it really short on the sides. I'm feeling a little adventurous.

Whatever the cost of a single Gillette Fusion razor blade happens to be at the moment.
Chrome dome.
Chrome dome.
Now $25 after the tip, about once a month.
I had a guy with his own place, 35+ years in the business, until he packed up and moved to Florida a few months ago. $14 for the cut, $20 included the tip. I've got a mad cowlick, and he worked with what he could to keep me happy.
He always did a solid job on my hair I thought, until I had to find a new place.
A friend of mine's ex wife has a salon... got butchered by one of the (younger) girls, not even close to what I wanted. The next morning I couldn't get my hair to do what I wanted, so I buzzed the top myself with the largest guard, until it grew long enough again. But the first couple of weeks I looked like a q-tip.
Another friend trades services with a barber shop, he sent me there... the young man that did my cut went too short on the sides and took too much off the top, I looked like a drug kingpin's oafish bodyguard. I ended up using way too much product in my hair the first few weeks to get it to look half decent.
Found another true barber shop the other day. Walked in to be greeted by an older woman (late 50's). She opened me with a comment about my cowlick, when I said it's a pain in the ass she told me that I'd come to the right place.
I said "what the hell" and gave her a shot. Explained to her exactly what I wanted. She took about twice as long as the Florida guy, but when she finally turned the chair around, I was in awe. The sides were the way I wanted them (tapered up and outward, no lines), the cowlick was manageable without looking like a cowlick (if that makes sense), just... wow.
Barber shops have the experience dealing with all sorts of hair. They seem to know how to give a proper cut, and still make it manageable after you walk out the door.
It'll always be a true barber shop for me.

Ahh, the good ole military cut. Same here.
I go to the same place for about a decade now.
It is a barber shop near my parents town (8 miles away from my house).
He is a 50+ year old guy who does good work. We have some conversations, depending on if there are other customers (most of the customers are females).
I tell him about red-pill and he is fascinated.
Price - 20$.
frequency - ~5 weeks.
I have a backup barber in the town I lived before. He is a younger guy, who does decent work (but less quality than my regular). It's good to have a backup. His price is lower (12$), but I rather pay a little more for quality.

I go once a month to an old-school shop. My barber is outstanding. He takes his craft very seriously, tours around the world, and is as mellow as they come (despite having an incredibly popular Instagram). When I leave the shop, my mane looks better than it will all month. That's how you know he's good. $30+tip, but he always gives out free shit
In a way, finding a great barber is like learning to dress well. It's an exercise in patience, diligence, and self-improvement.

My sister is a "hairdresser" so luckily I can go in whenever
I go to Supercuts in Wahiawa. I pay them $25, and I go about every ten days. They discontinued the every ninth haircut is free program.
They have some real high turnover. Every time I go I get a different crack head homosexual.
I got a blowjob from the girl that used to be the receptionist there in my truck after I bought her a six inch carved turkey from the subway in the same strip mall. I thought I was on to something, but the next time I went she had been fired or quit.
Another girl I used to bang worked at this ultra fancy haircut place. I went there once and it was $150. My hair looked exactly the same as when the heroin users at super cute do it.
Aloha!

I pay 2$ to my friend for marine haircut every 2 weeks, or shave myself on few milimeters whenever I want to.
$15.00-$20.00, every two weeks
I heard an interesting theory once, and I suspect it could be true. I was told that men should avoid female hairdressers and find a male homosexual hairdresser. The reason is that a female hairdresser will subconsciously cut your hair to make you look like a nice guy that she would like to take home to mum and dad. A gay dude will subconsciously cut your hair to make you look like someone he would like to fuck.
This crazy baldhead just needs a fresh razor and some coconut oil and I am straight. I stopped paying $20 2 times a week to get a head and face razor shave even though that is an awesome price. To any man who has never had a hot towel/straight razor shave-What are you waiting for? Stop cheating yourself and start treating yourself. It is the most relaxing thing ever besides massages with BJ's.

I've got 360 waves so I spend $25 for haircuts about 6-8 weeks. I spend $15 weekly for shape-ups between cuts (my guy only charges $7 but he's so meticulous so I feel he deserves the extra $$$.)
So going to gay barber is going make you look desirable to other homos? I don't see how that good...:gay:

I literally give myself top-notch haircuts nowadays. All because of the YouTube channel "GentleHair". I fade it and everything, looks dope.
