$20 hair cuts??? Where the hell do you guys go?

I get mine done for $11.

I have paid around $38 for a haircut on a few occasions. They did a good job, but I didn't feel it was necessarily worth the money. I've gone to SuperCuts or whatever those places are called and they do just as good of a job, IMO. I don't do anything crazy with my hair, though. Meaning, no product.

9 dollars for haircut and 3 for shampoo , so 12 in total. I tip them about 4 bucks so about 16-17 in general

went to a nice place couple months ago ($50).... washed my hair, offered a glass of wine (WTF?? why would I want an open glass of wine while i'm getting a haricut??) ended up buzzing my hair after i got home.... damn haircut cost more than a new set of clippers

I got an amazing haircut for like 12 bucks at a black barbershop once. I had a feeling it might have been a black barbershop, but went in anyways. Sure enough. I had to make a decision, turn around and leave or keep going. I needed a haircut so I kept going.
The barber's name was "Face". He took about 45 mins on my hair, so long that I was late coming back from lunch. The other barber said "nice cut, Face" as he went around the back of my head with the clippers, making a really clean line.

I think he just wanted practice cutting a white person's hair. I never got to go back since I took a new job not soon after that. Everyone at my office laughed at my story but all admitted my hair looked great.

$21 with tip and I bang one of the chicks who cut my hair... good times.

(No I don't get the hair cut free because I don't want any favors at her work since she'll get in trouble and we aren't that close where she can come over and cut it.)

ok.

You guys suck.. When my hair gets too long,, I just rip some out.. Grrrrrr....

I change hairstyles a lot. For longer styles a barber can really fuck it up then not only does it take time to grow out...it takes usually a few cuts to get it back.

Now am high and tight again. Seriously I could probably get a haircut for $10 (I tip $5 for a cut usually at a minimum) and 9 times out of 10 would pass most people's visual likes.

I usually choose a barber who then gets fucked by the staff working with her.

I had a great Korean barber at a SuperCuts, however; anytime I called ahead they always gave me shit about how busy they are, how they don't take appointments, etc.

Now I am going to Sport Clips, which I thought would be dudes...fucking welfare fucks have been bringing their kids in there for full monty towel deals.

They said they are trying to work on it. I may end up going postal one day.

I will give them a few more cuts.

usually I have a 15-20 dollar haircut before tips; my most expensive is at a local salon for $30 (it's an excellent haircut/hair styling place that iirc won award).

 

[SunSamurai]

I paid $35 for a set of clippers and buzz my head every 2 weeks. Beats the hell out of wasting an hour to pay $15+tip for a haircut

You're either kidding, or wasting your life, either way you're a pathetic excuse.

how so? What he said makes perfect sense to me especially for simple styles.

$9 at the base barber-shop. Otherwise ~$14 at Supercuts.

1/2" to 3/4" off the top, cut the bangs and sideburns, tapered on the sides and back. Every month to month and a half.

Wife does it, and does a good job.
It's pretty rare to hear of someone getting a bad haircut in a barbershop or salon in NY.

New York: You need a state license to cut hair, but don't need a license to be an electrician.
