[QUOTE="Sam Malone, post: 984405, member: 9867"] 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. [/QUOTE]
