My husband pays $22.
I wouldn't want a $7 haircut.The cheapest barbershop here for guys is $12, DH goes and tips $8, ds16 and ds20 pay $15 (and tip $5). If the woman who cuts their hair isn’t available (and ds20 needs a cut because he’s home on break), he pays $25 at my salon (and tips $5). DH isn’t picky, but my boys’ are, DH is a walk in, my boys need to make appointments where they go. I doubt you can get a cut for $7 anywhere here.
Maybe that's her way of saying she doesn't like the result?My wife gives me a hard time because the barber shop I prefer is 6 miles from our house and charges $12.
My DH would rather die - he's like that too. Me? If a $7 haircut was available, I'd be game...I wouldn't want a $7 haircut.
Agree totally - I don't know why so many men think they look better with no hair than with thinning hair nicely trimmed. Now "The Donald" comb-over isn't a good look either, so don't be going there!You didn't put an option for "other" or $0. DW cuts my hair. In fact, I need one today. I have the typical male pattern baldness, so there isn't a lot left. A set of electric clippers and it takes all of 5 minutes. I flat refuse to shave my head (and thankfully DW doesn't ask or want me to), as I utterly hate the shaved head look. Ugh, no way.
Wish I could afford to do hair transplant or whatever. Before it fell out, I had the thickest head of hair anywhere. Barbers used to charge extra to cut it when I was younger because I had so much. So sad it's all gone... , but at least I can take comfort that it lives on in 2 of my 3 kids. DS11 has hair more like DW and her father, which is "normal" thickness, but DD11 and DS14 have my hair. Super thick and lightly curly.

That's the thing with my husband who pays a lot more for a cut than I do. He's been with his stylist for like twenty years and it's a whole experience. One time we were going somewhere after his appointment and I tagged along and just waited for him to be done. They made me a cocktail! I wasn't even the client!They do give my dh beer he likes (he’s fantastically picky about his beer, if I have to drink it, I just drink pbr) at his barber shop. I guess that offsets what appears to be a higher price, but that just seems to be he pricing around here. Dad pays his stylist $50 total, but he has super thick hair and I’m not sure how much of that is tip. She’s been taking care of him a long time and tends to work him in whenever he needs an emergency cut (which knowing dad is every time he gets his hair cut.)
