    22 euro every few months. Nice bitta coffee and a bar during it too. Keep going back because they do it well.

    I hope by bar you mean a free pint for that money!

    I haven't cut my hair in the past 6 years and I intend to let it grow. I do save money on haircuts, but probably spend more on shampoo and other hair products.

    My hair grows like wildfire. If I leave it for 3 weeks I look like a reject from the Jackson 5.

    A mile better than looking like a one direction reject!

    Starting to need a haircut badly at this stage

    I pay nothing for my haircuts. The missus gets the electric razor out every 2 weeks and it's back to stubble heaven.

    Occasionally, I go for a shave of the facial fuzz which is all hot towels and very relaxing for £12 a pop. :)

    Nothing. One of my best friends is a barber, I built him a bike and do any maintenance on it for him, he cuts my hair for free. When he's not around I have another friend that cuts her own hair and is fairly competent for a quick trim, also free.

    If I somehow fell out with those too or moved away and wasn't able to make friends with any other barber I'd probably just buy an electric razor. No way I'd go spending 10-15euro every month or so.

    €11 every 3 months = €3.66 per month.

    There are some barbers nearby who do €8 deals but i'm used to going to the one place and they always cut it the same, consistency is important in a barbers.

    Definitely! I don't really mind the grey hair, as long as I keep it short and tidy it's grand :) let it go long and it feels like a wire brush and looks terrible!!

    Sir, I would urge you to 'tarry a while' before moving up to my own weapon of choice, The K-Tel Bottle Cutters, a lethal weapon in the hands of the inexperienced DIY Barber. It's as well that you've decided to move up through the gears, so to speak, for you would have something more serious to complain of than a red and angry looking neck. It is my considered opinion that your head would now be severed from your neck.
    I would recommend a strong unguent for your current piffling distress.
    Count yourself lucky.
    Good day to you Sir!

    Unfortunately we don't get a choice in it, I think it's a bit easier now though as men can shave it to number 1 level and noone passes much notice.

    I get this done myself, people tell me I should buy a shaver and do it myself and I see some men here saying they cut their own but I would imagine it's not easy to shave ones own hair.

    Is 'dancing' a euphemism for something else entirely, if so good luck to you.
    Supply and demand and all that.

    I usually get my hair cut every three months or so. I tend to wait until my hair is totally unmanageable before getting it cut. In my wee town it costs £8.50 for a gent's cut.
