    Tenner for a quick cut? Damn, I thought €14 was the norm. I'll have to look around some more.

    Defo look around. I get it done for a tenner in a unisex salon. Plenty of barbers and hairdressers doing midweek offers for students too now.

    15 euro for me worth it though only hairdressers in town that no matter when you go in.They're only be one in front of you and he does a pretty good job.

    Do it myself. I favour the wild look, once a year I just cut out the knots.

    €7.50 is the student rate where I go (normal price would be a tenner), and if you go in with a friend its €6 each.

    Used to buzz it myself up until around a year ago, now I go to The Grafton Barber once every few months. Most of the barbers there really know what they're doing, and only costs me €9 with a student card :D

    [edit] I don't get it buzzed still at Grafton Barber, obviously.

    Usually a tenner

    Except my last hair-cut. My mate's an apprentice barber in my local barber's so he just stands there looking at the barbers cut hair all day, unless someone who he knows comes in for a free haircut.

    So he text me asking if I wanted a freebie. I didn't even need a cut, but the thoughts of something free drew me in.

    It didn't end well. I don't know if the moral of the story is never help a friend or only go to a qualified barbers :(

    A wash, cut and color at my local salon is normally around €50-70 depending on the lenght of hair but since I like to pre-wash my hair at home (the girl who washes the hair in the salon can't seem to understand the words "Be gentle"...), I only pay around €20. It also helps that I'm quite pally with the owners. Mate rates FTW.

    I just ask a female friend/relative.
    It doesn't matter if they can't cut hair, I'm not going to like it either way.

    I wouldn't let a guy mate cut it.
    They'd intentionally make a balls of it

    Its getting to the stage where I get my hair cut so infrequently that its like going to the dentist. I know I need to go but keep putting it off. I'm losing my hair at an alarming rate so I'm holding on to what I have until absolutely necessary. I'm surprised that they havent given me an appointment card for my 6 month check up! Get it done in the Barbers Room on College St. 20 quid for a wash, cut and a conversation with a FINE lady of eastern european extraction.

    I just got a free haircut at a barbershop down the street from me. They normally charge around ten US dollars. Most area salons charge at least $40 for a wash, cut and dry, which I think is ridiculous.

    What about including mid-priced places in the poll?

    Peter Mark mostly, as you can pretty much walk in and get your hair done whenever you feel like it, or else a local salon (open far less hours and often an appointment has to be booked quite a long time in advance).

    I don't get anything complicated done and I have poker-straight hair. For a colour touch-up (just black - no mixing involved) and a trim, I pay between €55 (local salon) and €80 (Peter Mark). No need for straightening or deep conditioning. My hair is considerably long which adds to the expense.
    That might seem excessive cost-wise but if I were to get the same done in a posh place I could be charged €120+! :eek:

    A hairdressing school would charge me about €40 (and they do a good job as they're so careful and are being supervised - if you want something done which is too difficult, a fully qualified stylist will do it as a demonstration for the trainees, which is always sweet :pac:) but those places are not open weekends or evenings.

    I nearly wasnt goin to post this cos i wanted to keep it a secret, but im just too bloody delighted with myself. Eventually...after years of paying €40+ in peter marks for a hit and miss Cut and Blow Dry, finally found a deadly mobile hairdresser.

    Wait for it....






    €15 for a brilliant cut and blow dry, with Kerastase products..in my own gaff last night, in my PJs while watching the soaps. I gave her a fiver tip (which i never do) cos i was just so delighted with myself (and my hair) :D

    Brummytom ye need to add another option to your poll there ha!
