What Do the Barbers Charge In Your Area ?
 
There is a retired barber in my community,who has a little shop by his house ,who charges five bucks for a cut but he only opens on wednesdays from about 6 to 12.
I could not make it this wednesday for my annual trim,the other full time barbers in town charge anywhere from 10 to 15 bucks,which I hate to pay that for a trim for no more hair than I have.I'm going to try to make it to my old faithful this wednesday.

What do the barbers charge in your area ? Like anything else haircuts seem to have gone up in price.

Re: What Do the Barbers Charge In Your Area ?
 
$10-$12 + tip, or $20 and up if you go to a salon.

I cut my hair myself. I can't do anyone else's hair though.

I don't know what barbers charge here.

I've been going to the same guy for years.
He's a Christian.
He has changed shops/salons a couple of times but I to with him.

I go the first Wednesday of the month at 9:45 a.m.
His current charge is $15 so I give him $20 and he keeps the extra.
Before he moved to this current place he was charging $12 and I gave him $20 so he has lost money moving to the current place.

It is crazy. The last time I paid for a haircut, 2004, I looked at result in disgust and supposed I could have done it at least that well, considering $16 and 10 minutes of work. From that day on, I have cut my own hair, and no one knows, or at least won't say so. After first mistakes, it's not so hard! I only needed a good pair of scissors and an extra mirror. I have plenty of hair and always look "apostolic," (but not intentionally so.) Your task may be easier! Eventualy the scissor work will happen by feel more than mirror coordination.

Annual trim?

What do you do the rest of the year - comb it over and put it in a ponytail? LOL!

Sorry Bro. Scott - that just hit me funny!

Re: What Do the Barbers Charge In Your Area ?
 
I just paid $12, but I did not go to my normal place which is $15 but I really like them, except I never get the person I like so I decided to try someone else this time. Not to sure about liking it.
They run between $9 (for seniors) up toward $18 for a regular cut. If you add a shave to it is between $25 and $32.

MikeinAR 10-18-2008 04:12 PM

Re: What Do the Barbers Charge In Your Area ?
 
$12 plus a $2 tip. It's a 2 on the sides and a 4 on top and it's every three weeks religiously for me.

Re: What Do the Barbers Charge In Your Area ?
 
I used to cut my own hair till I found a shop that gave a discount for a follicle impaired individual.

Then enter two of my daughters who went to beauty school.

One works at a Salon, the other owns her own shop.

My Hair cuts are now free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Average cost: $10 - $15.

Two daughters who give it to me free: priceless.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is good.

Just go to Sallys hair supply and buy yourself a good clipper set. Once you get the hang of it, it just takes about 10 -15 minutes.
I cut mine in a military style cut it's easy and fast.

That will save you the time and bother of going to a shop plus about $200 a year.

I think some older guys like to go to a barber shop to hang out and talk.
My Father enjoyed doing that. even though my mother was a beautician (before upc) and could cut his hair,
he like his little hang out for the old guys lol

We have a lady @ NLC who is a stylist and does hair cuts once a month for donations to our Compassion ministry. I give $20 and it is worth it. Best hair cut I have had for years! :D

Re: What Do the Barbers Charge In Your Area ?
 
I pay $12-$20 each for my boys' haircuts. But I cut Walt's myself. I would cut the kids' too if they would let me. Someday when the money comes out of THEIR pockets, I'm sure I will then get the privilege.

Shampoo ain't good either unless it's $15.99 a bottle (6 oz).

I have to admit that is one area where I will spend .99 a gallon if I can. But GEL on the other hand, has to be better! Bedhead!

Did you see the "King of the Hill" episode where Bill gets a job as a stylist at a beauty salon? The customers are aghast and disgusted when they find out he's not gay. :toofunny

If you use high end gel, can you then expect .99 shampoo to be good enough to get it out?

Bald cut at Hair Cuttery = $11.00
Bald Cut at local barber shop = $12.00 - $15.00

If I want a "fade" or "taper", I have to go to the local barbershop = $14.00 - $18.00.

I say annual cause I get a trim about every 3 to 4 wks.
Even though I'm thin on top if the rest of my hair gets shaggy then my hair looks like bozo the clown hair.

LOL, that is so true!!! My FIL gets his hair cut about once a month then makes a trip back once a day for the "gossip" (me thinks menfolk are much better at it than most womenfolk!) LOL

As far as cost......my husband pays 9.00 for his hair cut and he is also "follicle impaired" as someone else put it.....LOL! He says he is one of his barbers "gravy jobs"!

Re: What Do the Barbers Charge In Your Area ?
 
Here in St. Louis Ipaid $13 last time plus tip. It took four trips to him before I got him trained. I think he misunderstood the first three times and thought I said I wanted a shave not a haircut. took three months to grow out. In Ca. I have been using the same shop for about 30 years. I think I paid $15 plus tip and $5. to have my beard trimmed. I haven't trusted the St. Louis barber with my beard yet.
