How much are you paying for a haircut?

murphaph

At the moment it's €9 in my local barbers in D15. What's everyone else paying for a short back and sides? A rough idea of location would be useful.

scuba steve

dont pay anymore. Got a razor couple years back for something like €40 or €50 and do it myself. Was paying about a tener before that tho

scojones

I don't pay. Bought a razor about a year ago.

rubadub

between £2.50-5 12 years back. Then got a £20 razor, about once a month for 12 years, so you're talking pence! or cent now..

I also dont have those bastards shaving my locks up to the top of my head, that used to drive me crazy, they would do it after specifically asking not to go near them.

netwhizkid

€7 every six to seven weeks.

rubadub

I'd say this talk is making women sick as dogs!

dlofnep

8 euro every 3 weeks. I remember back in school I got it cut for 2.50.

The_B_Man

i tihnk its 8 euro in the barber down in carlow but wen im home, it goes over the dreaded tenner mark. never goin to that place in the square ever again! its prob bout 15 by now!

Random

Bought a razor and do it myself when I cba

Kinetic^

damn am i getting ripped off?, 14 euro in baggot street but they do a good job

cormie

Haha, I'm a self cutting man myself. So much handier, I cut it the way I want it, no waiting rooms no saying "yes it's fine" when you think it looks terrible and no throwing away money either. G'wan the razor! Ever 2 months I cut it about.

The tax man

€0.Another razor owner. Number 2 is my number of choice.
When I did pay it was around €10 and that was a couple of years ago,hence the razor purchase.

Nothing at all. I have long hair. Grow your hair, you'll save a fortune!!!

Irishpimpdude

Lol i own a razer too majority of people here do too :eek:

murphaph

Seems we have a lot of self cutters here (isn't that a serious mental condition?!). I'd do it myself too but not sure I'd be able to get it right. I might try it though. I get a 2 around the back and sides and a short scissors trim on top-possible to approximate with a razor?

spartacus93

9 quid, must look into these razor things.

That Cyanide and Happiness comic is bloody hi-LARI-ous though


long hair myself anyway... I usually get someone to cut it short once every year or two. Haven't been to a barbers in longer than I can remember.

monkeyfudge

I think I paid €30 last time I got my hair cut.

That was in the GPO Arcade.

It's been about a year and a half since my last hair cut though.

I'm think of getting it done this week actually... and I might lose the beard too.

Terry

30 years and i've never paid for a hair cut. my cousin owns a salon across the road and two of her sisters are also hairdressers. i'll get them a drink or something if i meet them in the pub.

MartMax

and i only cut hairs once in 1 - 3 months.

i'm telling.....MOMMY MOMMY LOOK WHAT......

byte

€8 every month.

cournioni

Er... €7.50 I think. My hairdresser has retired though, so I won't be cutting it any time soon.

The Song Thrush

Niente... I cut it myself with a scissors. Why pay €11 for a cut that never looks good when you can cut it yourself the way you want for free.

Because there is a greater risk of you ****ing it up for yourself?

Probably explains why most of them feck it up when you do go in... no practise cutting lads hair.

I will be sexist and say most lads know how to use a razor better. Most women havent seen one been used as they only go to hair salons. In a small barbers you can see the techniques they use. Holding ears, comb blending etc. I used to cut lots of lads hair when my mate got a razor. People can be awkward in barbers saying what they want and not wanting to shout out "STOP", I have seen so many sideburns just taken off completely in barbers it is sickening. A skinhead is very simple to do yourself, you cant go wrong really, unless the blade falls off. Shorter the hair the easier it is, and these days there is no stigma or stares to people with skinheads like there was 10 years back.

Some guy wondered about a trim on top. Most barbers go from a 1-4 blade. With many home razors they have a 5-8. I use a 6 on top or sometimes an 8, trick is to have clean dry hair all frizzed up. It can take a bit longer to do a "non-skinhead" but certainly no longer than travelling to a barber and waiting in line for a cut. If it goes wrong, feck it 2 all over :v:

Lux23

Cnuts! I paid 140 when I got my hair done last. Its 40 just to get it cut.

Rovi

I think it was £2.50 (in the old money) the last time I paid for a haircut.
Various electric clippers since, using a cordless ceramic bladed job now, #1 (3mm) comb.
Once a month or so, takes 5 minutes.
