    I have some odd phobia of getting my haircut, it takes alot of willpower. I get it cut every 2 months at the most, mainly because it grows like grass and by the time it needs to be cut I've got such a mop (a curly, fuzzy, acceptable-in-the-70's), when I go for a shower and the water hits my hair, there's a moment of silence at my hair soaks up the water.

    This is a pet hate of mine.

    For the last 10 years or so, all mens haircuts seem to involve the 'all off'.

    As a consequence barbers seem to have lost the ability to give blokes a decent haircut.

    Very few can do it right these days.

    = more trips to the barbers me lad. Tsk tsk tsk. Tis all about the conservation of funds.

    Me? Twice a year or for special occasions (weddings......eh........that's it!). I'm also blessed with my dads cool 70's fro. Aw........

    I forked out €20 a few years back on one of them electric trimmers with the plastic blade attachments. The missus has cut my hair since, you cant beat just sitting on a chair in the kitchen having a nice cold beer getting you haircut!

    I generally get a haircut every 3 1/2 months or so... costs me about 15 quid a time...

    TBH...

    I cant stand people who go in to get their head's pretty much run through on a tight blade every 2 / 3 weeks...

    Getting a freacking hair cut before much of it has even grown back...

    yes.. you are practically throwing your money away...

    - Drav!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    I get it cut every 6-8weeks or so, cost about 5 quid. (Short back and sides).

    I've said this before, but does anyone else get a weird tingly sensation/spasm down their spine when the barber's usin that razor thing round the back of your head?

    Used to do that myself.

    Cant wait for long hair/perms to come back into fashion.:cool:

    Yes then it usually leads to a boner.

    Jesus, not with the beast that cuts my hair.



    (Went to get my hair cut today for my birthday.. wasn't open! Since when do businesses close on a fuckin Wednesday?!!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,081 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    I get my haircut at most three times a year, normally twice and sometimes only once.

    I don't mind spending a tenner for a haircut that infrequently, but if I was getting it cut regularly I'd do it myself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 653 ✭✭✭CSC


    Get my hair cut twice a month at least. Pay 15 euro a time. My hair grows quite fast and need to keep it short to look good.

    I may be the exception but I like going to the barbers. I go to the same place all the time and have got to know all the staff and can have a good conversation with them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,779 ✭✭✭Spunge


    i get a 2 back and sides every year or 2 and thats it :pac:

    I usually get a wax... lasts longer *joke*:D

    The missus just opened up a barbers in Donegal, so i'll never have to pay for a cut again:D
    She charges €8 normally (€5 at the moment), i used to pay €10 every 5/7 weeks and i didn't think it was too much to pay, but if i was in every few weeks it would get a bit much.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,494 ✭✭✭citizen_p


    i get my hair chopped (shaved 2 on sides 3 on top) once every 3-4 months.... start of school christmas, easter, summer

    The standard of women in my local unisex hairdressers means I go quite regularly and pay whatever they ask. It's worth it just for the view.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 930 ✭✭✭*giggles*


    If you go to a trainee barber you might even get it done for free. That is, if you are extremely trusting and don't have a cent to your name:p

    Stop whingeing, you could get a blade 2 for a tenner.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,258 ✭✭✭✭Rabies


    About $20-$25 every 3 weeks.
    I've got really fast growth and thick hair. Needs to be cut.
