I cut my own, but when I feel like it, I pay around 10-12USD plus tip.

$7-15. And the tip depends on how good the do, but also how much they cost. If, at $15, they dont cut my hair any better or treat me any better than the $7 place, i figure the tip is included in the price. But at $7, the cut is cheap enough that i can give a small tip if it sucks, and a decent bit if i like it.

I've got REALLY long hair that I never really bothered to get much done to in the past, so I was in the habit of paying around 10 bucks for a "trim" (basically just edging out the back of my neck and sometimes trimming split ends or shaving the sides when I had an undercut).

However, lately, I've started going to one of the pricier salons (which in West Virginia is still cheaper than a city) to get something with a little more style (but still very long) and I pay about 80 bucks for cut, color, highlights and tip. I think it's a good deal, since I come out very happy with what they've done (which is rare for me, I'm usually way too picky about my hair).

If I lived in a bigger city, or actually required something more than just coloring and a careful trim on the ends, I'd expect to pay 100-150, but it wouldn't be very often, since I hate having scissors around my head.

Am I the only person who doesnt tip???

I didnt know that was part of the deal. Just go to a walmart. Its 13 bucks

wallace1 05-28-2004 06:39 AM

Walmart!?

cchris 05-28-2004 08:40 AM

My last one was a ripper but I can't fathom the whole "tip" thing cause we don't do that shit down here.
It cost me $25 and that is something I'm not used too.

But I will be back.

Most certainly

It all depends on where you go.
Usually, you get what you pay for. I've only gotten a haircut once at a cheap place, and I didn't care for it to much. $7 and no hairdrying.
Then I've gone to a more expensive place (middle-priced) well-known salon and it costs about $16 and they are decent. They dry and even usualy style your hair for no extra charge.
Then I just went to a high-end salon for the first time, I also got my hair coloured, but both cost $101 total. I received a $10 discount on the haircut, because of the colour, so that tells me the cut was expensive alone. But I really really like the cut & colour. So, it all depends on where you go and how much you pay and how you want your hair to look.
Of course, it's usually not a big issue for guys.

The best cut I've had in the last couple of years was £5 + tip and that was in London where everything costs twice as much as everywhere else.

My last cut cost £8 and was the most expensive I could find in my neighbourhood. I chose the most expensive because nobody in this country seems to be able to cut hair any more and I hoped that the few who could might be working at marginally higher salaried jobs at slightly more expensive places.

Boy was I wrong.

Actually the only half decent haircuts I've had in the last 5 years were from a guy I know who trained as a hairdresser back in the day when you had to complete a proper apprenticeship.

So no, don't pay, find out from your friends who they reccomend. Failing that, find someone with a cool haircut and ask them who did it.

I pay $14 for one. Its a guy in a local shop that I have gone to since I was a little kid. There are other, cheaper places, but I know and trust the guy, and Ive been going there for almost 20 years now. I dont mind paying a little more for that.

yournamehere 05-28-2004 11:29 AM

I tried Supercuts twice - both times it cost me even more to get it done right.

I was paying $22 for awhile, but the stylist got pregnant and took some time off. In the meantime, I found a place closer to home for $12 - that includes wash/dry. The bonus is - she likes to cut really clean hair, so I get a 5 minute scalp massage thrown in to the deal - which is worth the $12 on its own.
I always add a $5 tip.

MaGlC_MaN 05-28-2004 03:31 PM

i'd say anywhere from 10 - 20 dollars is reasonable.. i usually pay about 10

forseti-6 05-28-2004 06:47 PM

$15 here.

mikec 05-28-2004 07:07 PM

I think I'm a closet metrosexual :)

Dear god. I suppose if you really feel it's worth it...

I pay as little as possible for mine, I don't see the point in paying more than £5 for a number four all over.

hunnychile 05-29-2004 09:48 AM

As our pal Rocky would say, the difference between a bad cut and a good cut is usually 4 or five days.

He's very hairy though!

EbolaVirus 05-29-2004 01:30 PM

I pay $10. It used to be $8 just a couple of years ago. Damn economy.

Stare At The Sun 05-29-2004 01:42 PM

9 dollars plus a 1 dollar tip = a 10 dollar bill, and i have a new haircut. :)

Scheme 05-29-2004 03:17 PM

i pay $15 New Zealand so thats around $9.50 US

Cableguy 05-29-2004 07:45 PM

$7.50 at the Base BX, and they usually do a damm good job to...

not to mention they do so many in a day it takes less than 5 minutes... :D

Captain Canada 05-29-2004 08:06 PM

I pay 12 bucks plus tip at Fantastic Sams.

TopRamen66 05-29-2004 09:03 PM

I go to a hair salon and pay 18+Tip, which is usually 5 bucks. The girl that cuts it is really cool, and I'm one of the very few guys who goes there so she likes to play around with my hair. I just tell her to cut however someone she would date would have it, and it always comes out lookin sharp.

jujueye 05-29-2004 09:44 PM

I dunno. Ms juju is a licensed cutter, so I get mine for free. I suppose I do have to pay with the house payment and grocery money....hmmm....
