Was going to book an appointment for a haircut until I learned that my barber now charges $40.00 plus a 25% tip.

24. I think I paid 1997 about $89.95 plus shipping.

But there is no inflation.

11. My brother has one

Hasn’t paid for a haircut in over 20 years.

3. I'm almost bald

Yet I still give my barber $100 for that 10m minute haircut. I'm not going to let someone touch my head for minimum wage.

4. Not me! $50.00 buys a lot of beer!

9. Marty got his haircut by Sam for 30 years.

Regular appointment every 4 weeks.
Marty comes one day and tells Sam he needs his best haircut. Marty is going to the Vatican and is going the be at mass in St. Peter’s square. Big trip.

A month later Marty comes in and sits in Billy’s chair. Sam’s like “hey! What’s going on? I’ve been cutting your hair for 30!years!!”

Marty then tells the story of the mass. The Pope came out, starts the mass, starts looking right at Marty, and withdraws back inside. The crowd murmurs. Then the doors open in the ground floor. Out walks the Pope and he walks right up to Marty.

Sam, “Well, what did he say?”
Marty, “He looks me right in the eyes and said ‘Who the fuck cuts your hair?!??’l

12. This is how I picture you looking in 6 months, Floyd

But, hey, you'll be $240 (plus tip) richer!!!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

17. That's what I look like now! Me in six months:

18. How can they require a 25% tip?!

Although I guess you can only short them on the tip once.

Seriously though, that was the price point at which I told my partner that I was willing to risk a bad free haircut for awhile during the learning curve. Paid haircuts at a known barber a few times a year for special occasions, and in between, it's day of beauty at home.

19. They require payment upfront! No pay, no cut!

20. I was going to Great Clips for $12 or so cuts.

Along with a friend of mine who happened to also be going there we always tried to get a certain hair cutter who was the best in the shop.
This hair cutter decided to open her own shop and poached some customers from GC including me and my friend. She grandfathered us in at $20 (senior rate) and have been at that rate for a few years. I always add another $10 and still feel like it's a bargain, especially after reading some of the comments here.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

21. Sweet!

[FemDemERA]

22. You could try Great Clips if there is one near you, they have reasonable prices and all the

customers (mix of genders/ages) that I see seem to be happy with the results. I've also used Super Cuts a couple of times in the past before I discovered Great Clips. Also, beauty schools can be good deals if you have one in your area.

23. I'm too slow! I see Liberal In Texas also mentioned Great Clips

while I was busy typing I have my preferred stylist there. I try to only go in on her scheduled days
and hope she never leaves!
