What is a reasonable price for a haircut?
 

I have gone to the same barber for the last 18 years....He finally retired at age 85 so I had to go looking for a new Barber.

I'm used to paying around 20 bucks including tip.

Down the street is a Chinese guy (from china) cutting hair for 5.99...

How good of a hair cut can that be?

I asked a friend of mine who cut his hair....his "stylist" charges him about 40 dollars..with shampoo....Not really a better haircut than mine and I wash my hair every day.

I really don't have that much time to go around hunting out the best deal.....Should price be my guide?

What then is a reasonable price for a haircut?

I pay 18 plus 2 tip. Every year for the past 4 years, the price has gone up 2 dollars. I've had the same guy cut my hair for teh past 15 years. I don't know anything else.

Place I go, hair cut is $13 + $2 tip. You get a free soda (glass bottle coke or O'Doul's) and they only serve men, "Hair Saloon For Men."

No location close by but that is a pretty neat website for barbershop

free from mom :)

when i used to see the barber.. $6.00 plus $1 tip.

now that i have long hair, I go to a salon... $24 plus tip of $3.00 but I go like once a year maybe 2 times.

$5.00 plus $1 or 2 for tip, a really good haircut. But it is back home, I will go back in june, he usually charges me 4.

Since I've been here, I have only cut my hair twice in supercut ($15 each time, and I had long hair in that time)

I saved more money buying a clipper and getting a haircut myself, since I wanted a short trim all over my head, no style :)

Near where I live the price usually range from 10-15 dollars. Any more than that will be either from stylist or a total rip off.

I'd like to say that you get what you pay for but in this case it isnt always true.If you arent a supermodel,Fifteen bucks max,and she outta wash it for you too..

$20

Wow, $18US for a haircut? I used to get mine done for $15NZ ($7.50US), and she washed it afterwards too O_o

about $15, shampoo, gel and drink included.

Used to pay 18 including tip, now its 15 including tip.

Funny you ask, I've been shaving my head for about 3 years. I have no idea either. But I do think gillete is making a fortune off me.

I don't know. I've been to a hair salon two times in 22 years.

Now my SO cuts my hair and I cut his.

But I think the average price is $10-25

i pay around 8 dollars cdn then 2 dollars tip, about 6.50 usd i think?

my hair is easy to cut so no matter where i go i dont really ever get a bad hair cut, so price usually predicts where i go!

Greatclips. $11 plus $2 tip.

Supercuts: 8 bucks plus an appreciated tip. Tipping is not a city in China

There is no way I could find a $5 haircut around here. I can't even get 2 gallons of gas for a fiver. $13 plus tip is the lowest.

Just got a haircut yesterday, 11 dollars and a 2 dollar tip.

The haircut is pretty good. Women aren't going to be throwing themselves at my feet, but I have a better chance of aceing my job interview.

Amen brother!! I feel your pain. Those Mach III Turbo blades get expensive when they only last 2 days.

I go to a hairdressing school and pay 6 bucks if I've let my hair grow out and need a trim. Otherwise I turn to my trusty $14 clippers and do the job myself.

I pay Zero now. GF and I bought a kit for 12 bucks.

Oh my lord, and I'm paying $45 + $5 tip to go to a freaky salon on Haight St. Good haircuts though.

I think I'm a closet metrosexual :)

Depends on how much time I have...

I have naturally curly hair that's just past my shoulders, it is a challenge to cut, plus it's got a lot of gray so I have it colored about every 8 weeks.

For a cut, if I have the time, I'll go to either Warren Tricomi or one of the posh posh super expensive salons in New York City -- and spend 25 bucks plus tip a the the training schools. I'll spend about 3 hours in the chair, and have a student it's almost ready to be turned out work on my hair - monitored very closely by one of the salon pros - the salon pro will then finish my hair. (I basically end up getting a 350 dollar or more cut and color for about 40 bucks - -because the cut is so good, I don't have to go as often)

When I'm desperate and don't have time to wait, I pay about 35 for the hair cut (plus tip) plus about 40 for the color. I'm paying more money for it, and it's no where near as good a cut.

I'm balding. So anything less than $5. Mainly it's free since my SO does it for me. Someday I will shave my own head. Something about a razor to the scalp scares me. Especially when I'm holding the razor.

Hair cuttery, $13 + $2 tip. Shampoo+Cut.

I would probably pay up to $20 if I really, really liked a place and they cut my hair awesomely. They do a decent job at the hair cuttery though.

back in the mid 90's when I kept hair on my head, my upper limit I was (and still am) prepared to pay a barber for a haircut was $5-8. Anything past that for male haircuts (short hair) is too much in my opinion.
The first few times there were some cuts on my head, but now they never happen and those are at worst tiny nicks. Does not take too long to get to the point where you can shave the entire scalp without a mirror and not a miss a single spot by feel alone; I still check visually though.

i pay 9 bucks + 3 bucks tip for haircut, shampoo and a quick shave of any facial hair

I pay 4.99$ for mine with a coupon.

The original price is 8.99$ though, I think.

My haircut consists of dragging a 1 length clipper over my head a few times. I could easily do it myself, but I never get it right with the same amount of effort than $13 + $2 tip will get me at Supercuts.

I am very cheap and only get my hair cut like once a year. But when I do go and get it cut I go to the Beauty College and they do it for 5 dollars.

Wow I pay a lot for my hair... I get it done about every 9 months or so... I pay around $130. But I am really really fickle with the people who touch my hair with scissors. I don't mind paying a lot of money if they do it right.
I get highlights and style with wash and dry. It is pricey, but it is also in a very picey town.

I shave my own damn head, cost me a $20 razor from walmart and that's that.

before when i had hair i went to a chinese stylist and only paid 6 bucks, 8 with tip. honestly, it was the best haircut i've ever had...

I think I pay about the standard...$13 and $2-5 for tip, depending on if I really like the job they do.

The place I go to is owned and operated by young (20ish) men, so they do my hair in the style I like.

I cut my own hair...have for several years. *shrug*

20$ canadian. Once I went to supercuts, but hated the haircut.
Now i've got a great stylist, she cuts really well.

I just realized I'm tipping too much. I wished I would have run into this thread years ago.

$12 + $4-6 tip ... I keep my hair clipped nice and tight, nothing terribly complicated.

$3.00 and $2 tip at the barber collage just two blocks away---
I can run up there in my golf cart...never get a bad cut because the "BIG BOSS" always checks it before you leave....saves a few bucks for good scotch...:D

I pay 17, but I have had the same lady do it since I was 10. I figure paying a little more is worth it since the cheap places never do it right to begin with.
