I usually get my hair cut once a month. I have a very short hairstyle on the sodes and longer on the top. However, it starts looking awful when it gets to the 1 month mark.

    My barber charges me 11.5$ and he does a good job. I cannot find lower proces around me. Maybe I could but it would be at bad unqualified places. But he accepts cash only (tax evasion).

    My parents forbid me from cutting my hair in my bathroom( they say hair gets everywhere) and tell me to go to the barber. But both withdrawing money solely for this and sitting there is extremely tedious.

    Is 11.5-12$ too much for a haircut? Once a month.

      I cut mine outside, less cleanup that way

      expensive no, the price is ok.

      one solution for cutting your hair yourself is to cut it outside, I do that as much as I can (same reason as you)

      but really hair goes everywhere if you don’t pay attention. now I do that when I am alone , be careful and clean it right away: no hair anywhere. just shake your clothes outside and put in the hamper just after cutting.

    3. I pay $10 for mine, used to visit monthly. awhile ago, I invested in a hair clipper, now I can trim my hair so it last for another month before I go get a hair cut.

      get a dyson and just suck up the hair with the vacuum.

      Completely reasonable compensation for the service.

      But…that’s $10,000 over your lifetime.

      Personally I’d learn how to cut my own hair and keep that $10,000.

      Which is what I’ve done and have never paid for a haircut in my life. A penny saved is a penny earned.

    5. Without an indication of location, how are we to answer ?

      Seems cheap for a western city, seems expensive for rural argentina

      How old are you?

      Is there something that prevents you from cutting your own hair and cleaning up the mess before your parents find it?
