The quality of your average haircut won't so much be dictated by price but by seeing the same barber everytime imo.

Unless you're getting v basic buzzcuts, crewcuts etc you'll never get a decent haircut with a different barber each time. Best to find one barber then keep them. After a few they'll know what you like and be immeasurably helpful suggesting new cuts etc.

The best barbers are those who run their own shops and have an established clientele. Recommendations fwiw.

Oh and male barbers >>>>>>>>> female barbers. Get somebody who only works on mens cuts.

I pay $36 a cut, been going to the same barber for near on 5 years. Worth every cent.

i guess usually around 80 + tip

Why not just keep going to your old barber? You presumably used to make the drive every day, so it seems like it'd be worth it to you to go once every month or two to get a cut.

Yeah my guy does this, as well as shaves my neck which is something that the standard chain shops usually won't do.

I spend $21+$4 = $25 total. I also go in between cuts for a trim around the neck and ears for which he charges me $5 and I usually tip $2-3.

I moved to the SF Bay Area a while back and went to ~8 different barbers over a few years before I found a guy I was happy with. Middle-aged Croatian dude. Twice as much as what I used to spend, but worth it.

14 times/year? That seems frequent. I go every ~5-6 weeks, and I think my hair grows faster than average. I do go in between cuts to get a neck and ear trim but that's only $5. And if you're just buzzing it, that would only cost $10 to do. But yeah, for people who look good with short hair, obviously this is the way to go.

$13 + $5 tip

elite barbershop, price of haircut was $11 when i started going in like 1996.

I went to a hair salon academy once for kicks. 10 bucks took two hours. Also the worst haircut ive ever had. Chick claimed she cuts her bf all the time...poor guy lol

so how do you pay? I'd feel kinda cheap asking for 2 back from a 20. Do you count out 13 then tip a 5, or?

he always puts the $5 and the two singles down on the counter, and i just take the two singles. always has. i probably would tip the extra $2 if he didn't do that, lol. i guess maybe i should just tip the $7. idk

ya f $19 haircuts and all that ish.

somewhere between 11-20 but i always tip the difference, so 20

This, but...I think I'm going to have my 11yo daughter do it next time. She did it once last year and missed some areas, but I think it's time to give her another shot.

$0, do it myself, much like my sex life.

Free b/c mom owns a beauty salon, but it costs 7 euros (bout $10) there for men.

I remember about 10 years ago when a stnrd haircut at a salon cost lest than one eur in my city.

How does one go about finding a good men's hairstylist? Like I said, it's been a year. I pretty much just shower, gel and toss it with my fingers and it magically turns into curls.

I have been thinking about this, and I think this is the only thing I am sexist about. I don't think I'll ever go to a salon to get a haircut or have a woman cut my hair. My guy tells me what policy numbers he just missed and his latest exploits in dr.

A combo of yelp and trial and error.

yelp for barbers? who knew

Been buzzing it with electric clippers and no attachment for a few years now. When I had hair I spent $40 including tip at a barber shop which included a shave. I got to choose between Japanese and German blades. I usually smoked a $25 cigar while there too.

When I lived in SF I would go to a Honduran lady in the mission, $30 for the best, most meticulous cut I've ever had, then to el farolito for tacos or one of the Honduran places for pupusas.

15+5 every 2-3 weeks .

In high school I used to work a roofing job in the summers. The local beauty school had a deal that was $45 for unlimited cuts for a year. I used to go in at least once a week and have the hot beauty school chicks wash my hair, buzz it short, and then wash it again. Ah, nostalgia.

There is now a men's only place that has a TV at every station, hot towels on your face during shampoo, and a shoulder massage at the end that only charges $11 and actually does a pretty decent job for the small amount of money they charge. My hair is short and simple, so I go there. Usually tip $4 to make it an even $15.

I've been buzzing my own hair with electric clippers for the past ten years, but before that I would go to a guy who charged $40+tip. He was incredible and I got so many compliments from his haircuts.

How often do you think one should get a hair cut to keep a fresh look? 2 weeks?

£10 - were talking hair being cut though, not a massage and shampoos or whatever the Op says he gets.

I go every 2-3 weeks

Been doing Sports Clips the last couple years, get the whole package, shampoo, hot towel, slap massage, shoulder massage....it's like 22, but I get a company discount to make it about 17.

I find someone I like and keep going to her each time.

$0 because i been cutting my own hair since 20. On the rare occasions I go to asian salons that cost 7+3 tip but never happy with it and wished I just cut it myself.

Non flooby, just a pair of scissors and a buzzer with guards.

My one experience at Sport Clips was the worst haircut I ever had. When I told her I wanted it tapered she didn't know what that meant. I told her she was the first barber that ever asked what it meant. She said she was a stylist and not a barber. She was right too, she was NO BARBER!

Screw those chain stylist joints. Gimme a barber who will shave my neck and trim my eyebrows and do the detail work where necessary. Every chain stylist haircut I have gotten sucked.
