    I get a very standard haircut every few weeks.
    It cost between €10 and €12.
    Just clippers and a bit of scissors.
    I did look at more expensive places but there isn't much to be done with my hair. It's a curly mop.

    €17 every 3 weeks or so for a haircut. Sometimes get a beard trim in barbers also for an extra couple of quid

    13.50 and the 7th is free. Not one of the modern haircuts that takes half an hour of clippers and a pile of pomade or hairspray to build, or quite the same level of maintenance.

    €10.

    Zero, have been shaving my own for 20+ years now

    Not a penny since I was a broke student about 14 years ago. Maybe £150 on hair/beard clippers since then.

    Depends on when I go or my mood :)

    Place near work is 10 quid so might pop in on the way home from work but if it's at the weekend my local is 15

    Went to a place in town before and was charged 20 quid, nearly dropped ****ing dead when asked but I paid and never went back

    I've a friend that pays 20 in his barbers every 2 weeks because the barber has won some awards and is the place to go

    I couldn't justify it every 2 weeks

    Saying that then id rather have a good chat with my local barber and give a 5er as a tip on top of my 15 the odd time

    €22 for a wash, cut and dry. €5 tip for the barber after.

    Could never understand the mindset of guys going into some place paying someone a fiver to shear them bald. Can only assume they just don’t care about their appearance.

    17 every four weeks, it grows very fast which I'm thankful for.

    This is a bugbear of mine. Whether I spend twelve quid or 50 (that was only once) I get the same result.

    12 quid is the maximum these days, unless I'm getting a shave as well.

    Where do you get these €5 cuts?

    Pardon my hyperbole, €7.

    €12 at barber opposite Kennedys Pub (Westland Row)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,625 ✭✭✭harr


    €15 once a month , get a complete wet shave on the head and electric razor on the beard an that does me for 4 weeks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,598 ✭✭✭emeldc


    €13 every 3 wks. It takes about two minutes because I have f all left to cut. I really just go to support a local business.
    Any women out there care to admit how much they spend or is it a man only thread.

    It's a thread for everybody.

  • Posts: 81,308 CMod ✭✭✭✭ Marco Unkempt Bayonet

    Somewhere between €12 and €14, get it done every 6-8 weeks, not arsed doing it myself because it's a pain in the hole.

    hairdresser twice a year for me, that would get me to ~90 EUR yearly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 234 ✭✭linpoo


    €450 twice a year on hair extensions with colour.

    €80 for a colour and cut maybe 3 times a year in between extensions.

    The odd blow dry when i want to treat myself or if going out somewhere. Blow dry around €20 a go. Get maybe 1 every 2 months or so.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 33,259 ✭✭✭✭HeidiHeidi


    60-odd until recently, up to near 100 now because I need to get colour done :mad:


    But that's only about every three or four months as I have a long, forgiving hairstyle that I can let grow until I get sick of it.



    I'm willing to pay that much because it's a nice place, with nice coffee, and a nice stylist who doesn't wreck my head with pointless small talk and bad jokes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,813 ✭✭✭Noveight


    €12.

    Any average trim costing North of €15 is daylight robbery.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,093 ✭✭✭markc1184


    €20, €15 for hair and beard and €5 tip. Try to not let it go beyond 5 weeks between visits.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,523 ✭✭✭kwestfan08


    €16 for a decent cut and beard trim. Would leave a €4 tip too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 5,922 ✭✭✭SCOOP 64


    €10 every 4 weeks ,in chair what feels like 4 minutes, don't know why i bother with how little i got,
    should just shave the head myself really, he does a neat job though.

    My barbers in east Co. Meath charge a tenner for an excellent dry cut; clippers, scissors, feathering, cut throat neck shave, wax, lotion and a hot towel.

    Any young lads ive seen come in to get highly stylised looks that take up to 45 mins to do pay max €14.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,163 ✭✭✭✭Gael23


    €12 to €15 every 4 weeks depending where I go
