Nothing

^^^^this

£12 @ The Gentry in Kendal you get offered a bottled beer and the ladies are very attractive but I only let the owner give me my hipster cut 🙂

£8 from the woman in the university hairdressers. She used to work in a prison, ideal. I go in, say "Make this look boring", she nails it every time

£7 for a 6 & 3 clipper cut.

£8.50 for a '[i]grade 2 on the sides and back, a bit longer on top[/i]". Same description every time, looks the same every time. Perfect.

£20 every 2 months.

£6.50. Does a perfectly acceptable job.

£13 including washing at a local salon - was 9 quid till a couple of months ago.

£30-£35 every 6-8 weeks.

7 quid + 3 quid tip.

£6.50 for a 1 all over

It will be between 8 and 20 depending on where and what, got the beard to consider too.

It varies from a tidy up, all the same length, too shape the beard etc. Seem to be getting a long list of places in cities I visit for work, just easier some times

I had a haircut once in 1989.
Doubt I'll do it again.

For those getting cuts with clippers is it really better than DIY?

Better than DIY? Much easier for them to see the back of your head...

$25 today.

Usually it's about £15 in the UK.

Paid the equivalent of £6 in whistler & it looked like a chimp had been let loose on it. Got in done in Van last week for the equivalent of £14 & it was much better.

I used to pay £10 when down south but only pay £5 since moving north

£10 but then every 5th one is half price. It's a little one chair shop just a minute walk from my house. The young lady who owns it is very pleasant, there's no coffee or dilly dallying, just a haircut and I'm on my way again.

Similar but not quite that far back.

Think my costs are approximately 12p for each haircut with my current set of clippers. I could probably do with buying a back up set soon, only so I don't have to go to the supermarket electrical aisle wearing a hat to hide half a head of hair.

I mean, it's got to happen sooner or later.

£7 plus a £1 tip.

£9 from my usual place and £10 from the one by work (you know, the nice old Italian guy - not the racist barber across the road).

£6.50 from the one round the corner, this is up North(ish). Used to be around £12 down South.

I've paid with my freedom (wife does mine).

20 euros! It's the only place that doesn't do appointments. There is a barber in my hometown that I took my eldest to last year during a visit to the grandparents. I used to be taken there as a young boy in the 70s and the place hadn't changed since then. Felt like a musuem and a trip down memory lane.

i hate having my haircut. its akin to visiting the dentist.

i dont want to waste any of my precious weekend having it cut either so i have to do at a lunchtime during the week which means central london prices. I go to a Turk in Clerkenwell, £25 includes haircut, shave & hot towels, they always do a satisfactory job and best of all, no effing chit chat! i pay for silence.

Been going to the same girl for ten years she works for herself and moves salon occasionally. I pay about £15 but she is really good and I book an appointment so don't have to spend any time queueing. Have had a lot of good chats over the years.

Tenner for a '2 on the sides, trim on the top' and minimal chat (although the new guy at the barbers this week did try to engage me on Corbyn - "if he gets in he'll have us all on bikes and playing 100% tax")

£5 at blind Pugh in the link,just have to hope that there's no on the tv as he is easily distracted. . I almost lost an ear when man u scored!! 😯

£10 for 1 on the back and sides, 3 on top. LOADS of monarchist and right wing drivel but I do pull his leg and I quite like him. He struggles to not physically erupt at some of my comments.

My girlfriend has done my hair with scissors for years. The first attempt was with kitchen scissors after a bottle of wine. Instead of giving me a mirror to check her work she just fell about laughing. Thankfully a decade later she is really good at it, and the cost has been 1 pair of decent scissors.

£25 every 6 weeks, includes wash, head massage, cut, style and a drink.

Bought some clippers about 4yrs ago and trim once a week. So roughly 10p. Mrs t seems to think that it's her duty to make up for my lack of hair(cuts) by spending about £50!

£3.99 T Easy Barber. Gossipy vacuous conversation with the heavily tattooed stylists. Who are quite cute. Not as good quality cut as I used to get for £9 mind.

Brought

I've no right to be a grammar/spelling pedant, but that one always peeves me.

Clippers here too - the back must not be too bad and I pass the 'safe to leave the house' inspection by my more sartorial better half.

£10 inc tip in Jocks the Barbers, she keeps offering an eyebrow trim which is a sad reflection on how old I am.

Used to be £7 in Taffy's in Skewen, one type of cut, didn't matter what you asked for you always came out looking like a butchered turnip.

Better than DIY? Much easier for them to see the back of your head...

Not sure how you can do it wrong with clippers assuming cutting fairly short.

Convert, it was auto correct wot dun it. Edited now. 😀

I admire the bravery of those that wind up the lunatic right wingers while they stand next to your ears with the sharpest scissors known to man!

£12 here, used to be £9.50 but went up by a pound and then they added a premium for scissor vs clippers. But you do get a beer or a decent coffee while you wait.

£9 from the same bloke I have been going to for nearly 12 years. Before that it was £6 from a bloke I went to for ten years.

I value consistency.

£10 for a Turkish head shave, but other than that, £0. As it's a clippers job, with no guard.

£3.99? Jesus, how do they even pay for electricity?

I pay £0.00. You don't need to cut dreads much.

£9.50 every 6 weeks with John in the village or £14 100m down the road with the lovely laydeez.
Our village is pretty small and yet it still manages to pack in 5 'hair dressers'!

Wife does it with clippers. If I'm going to a wedding or something I'll pay the £5.50 the place round the corner charges.

My £5.50 a time barber died last year so now pay £10. That does include evening appointment so no sitting and waiting, wash, cut, chat, brew and "hair product" should I want any so not bad really.

Looks like you look have an average of £6-7 for a hair cut.

I'll chuck in my cost and see if that bumps it up a bit shall we.

£62

Yup.

Last time I tried to "have a chat" with someone in a barbers I think Gary Glitter was on trial. So, mad woman behind me with scissors is describing how she would cut the balls off all paedos, and I'm trying to play devils advocate, but she doesn't see it so just more and more emphatic that yes, she would, literally sign up to cut the balls off paedos for the government.

So then I try to engage her about the possible moral ambiguity of mutilating someone in a modern society. Finally she relents. "You're right" she says, "I'll shoot them all in the head".

i thought i had the cheapest spot in town pinned.. the guy who goes round the hospital wards in our local infirmary is 3.50.. but he tells me undertakers do them for free... to smarten you up a bit but only do the front..

Normally £13 in uk, £10.50 plus tip in Glasgow city centre, cheaper in outer areas.

Best haircut was in Italy. Guy used open bladed knife to shape my hair after cutting what seemed like each hair individually. Also got full hot towel treatment and much Italian noise and flair. My wife was waiting and was very impressed with the theatrics and end result. Cost about €20-€25

£9 from the Turkish fella's in town. They open late and offer minimal chat which works for me. Occasionally I'll add another £5 to that and get a shave but it depends on which barber I get, one is an absolute butcher with a cut throat!

£35 but that includes a back, sack and crack!!..ha ha ha

After years of using a number 1 on myself, I decided to grow mine out. In the process, Mrs SR has become incredibly good with the haircut kit, and I don't think I would trust a barber as much.

So mine's still free. 🙂

£7 from the chap in my village, £10 with tip.

My cheapest was $2 from the barber school in San Diego. My mate in the chair next to me told the man what he wanted, to be told "sorry - I'm not trained on scissors yet!" 😯

£10, takes less time these days due to there being less hair to cut each time I go in...

£10 for a simple cut/style.
£14 at the turkish place were it gets washed and my face gets steamed and I get a drink. They also set my ears on fire (literally) and use a cut throat shaver for my neck. Bit of an experience.

I used to pay about 3 quid back in the 90's to be butchered at Jeds on Hyde Park corner in Leeds. But got a bottle of beer while you waited so was all good. Since then I've paid for one hair cut as my missus wouldn't do it just before our wedding (or cut my hair 😉 ) think it was around 7-8 quid.

When my local barber increased his prices by 1/3 , £1.50 to £2.00 I felt that it was time extravagances were curbed. I knock the top off myself and the wife tidies it up with the clippers. Can't get a number 2 on a rapidly balding head wrong.

I accept that going to the place on the High Street will have higher overheads so I'm resigned to paying my £3 for a buzz cut. Restyles are £3.99 and teh wimminz(and long haired blokes) pay £4.99.

mrs rocket cuts it

Perceived cost = £0

Ah - I remember the days of < £10 haircuts!!

Doing the whole trans thing is expensive - haircuts went from a few pounds to my last one which was just shy of £100.

AND the government stopped insurance companies giving me cheaper car insurance - damn life's not fair!! 😉

Rachel

£7 for a number one from an old Italian guy

Mine cost me a fortune in fags, got me clippers with focus points - about twenty years ago

£40 every 6-8 weeks.

After years of using a number 1 on myself,

LOLOLOLOLOL!1!

I knew the number I /2 joke would happen !!!!

£30 in my life I reckon

£13 + £2 tip, and thats inside the M25 in Surrey. Good value really.

Partner has her hair coloured trimmed styled etc etc, and the usual place has just gone up to £135. She's found somewhere else which is a bargain at £100 😯

£35 in central London

Been going to the same one for years, still costs me £10. I used to do Kevins with the clippers but has grown it this year and has started going to the same one as me. Costs him £10 although he did ask for a discount on the two.

I just shave the back and sides myself every couple of weeks; leave it long on top.

£15 every two weeks. My hair grows like wildfire 😕

Used to pay £15.50 every month, but for the last couple of years the wife has cut my hair with a £15 pair of clippers.

Being a long-haired hippy git, I probably go about once every six months. Infrequent enough that I've no idea offhand what the cost is, probably sub-£10 with "keep the change" as a tip.

I go to a "unisex hairdresser" rather than a barber because I figure they've more experience with haircuts beyond the short back and sides / #2 all round. Plus I'd rather an attractive young lady fondle my bonce than some bloke who looks like a prop forward.

£5 from this fella;

Old buddy of Don Whillans too.
Lovely bloke.

I was in desperate need of a haircut before a holiday (only a few years ago) so went for a wander along Alness high street when I worked there. All the 'fancy' ones were busy so kept walking until I got to the end of the street and there was a wee shop - looked like the inside of a shipping container (albeit plywood lined). Scary looking, but like I say, I was in need.
Got my haircut. Got it cut again as wanted it shorter. How much? £1!! I left a £2 tip. It wasn't the worst haircut I'd ever had.

Other than that my usual is £10 every so often (I have no hairstyle - just some hair which varies from short and smartish to long and scruffy) but my regular has moved so I now need to go through the terrifying experience of trying to find a new hairdresser...

Ahhmmm........

Do you still look like the leader of the Third Reich? Enquiring minds want to know.

NEIN, NEIN, NEIN!!!!!!!

I've gone with the Italian Mafiosi / Hipster ****.
