How much for a haircut?

john the one · 04-01-2015 06:34PM #1

Went to the Barbers today and had a lovely hair cut and beard trim, . I was in the chair for about 35 minutes and it was very relaxing.

The haircut cost €23 euro and i could take a bottle of bud whilst waiting if i so pleased but i didnt, had the car.

How much do you pay for your cut on?

I never get the whole beer and haircut thing. My local offers it too, but they just don't go together for me

Always an indicator I was about to be ripped off if they offered a beer.

It all depends what's offered. If you go to a barbers, get tea/coffee, or a beer in this case, beard and eyebrows trim as well as hair, then anything up to €30 is acceptable. If it's just a simple in and out haircut then anything more than €15 is taking the piss.

i dont consider 23 euro a rip off if im honest. The cut is always good and im talking about a full beard aswell. Plus they offer tea and coffee.

I have had some truely awful cuts for sub 10 euro in my time. Not all of them but some have been so bad i have gone to another barbers to sort it!

I try get a hair cut every 5 - 7 weeks since i grew the beard

After about half a dozen cuts, my clippers have already more than paid for them selfs a few times over based on the OPs rate.

Talib Fiasco · 04-01-2015 06:42PM

Anywhere between 10 and 15 and I am happy. It is worth paying a decent amount for a proper cut I think.

yeah but what are you doing? a blade all over? i dont want that cut so cant do it myself

Schwiiing · 04-01-2015 06:45PM

E7.50 in my barbers. 2 blade back and sides, inch off the top with the scissors. Takes 5-10 minutes with minimum fuss.

I am the same and believe me I have tried giving myself my own haircut...didn't end well at all.

Micky Dolenz · 04-01-2015 06:47PM

€65, wha? I'm worth it.

Try removing a couple of ribs, prince-style?

That is a good price then, just wherever I've gone before if they offer me a beer I'm getting charged at least 20 euro + for a dry cut.
It really depends on the quality too, I spend 14 euro now at a place because I like the staff and they haven't fcked my head up yet.

True dat, I wouldn't spend 65 squid on hair cuts over 2 years.

UCDVet · 04-01-2015 06:55PM

I got tired of getting my haircut. I don't have a car, so I'd have to walk a bit (say 10 minutes) to get there. Then I'd sit and wait for 10-20 minutes. Then I'd get my hair cut, it wouldn't take them very long - maybe another 10-15 minutes. Then I'd pay ~12 euro and walk back home. In total, it would end up taking 60-90 minutes and I'd always need to change my shirt cause it'd be all itchy and stuff.

I'd go every 5-6 weeks too, so that's maybe 100 quid per year...but it was mostly the hassle of walking and waiting.

I paid 20 euro for a set of clippers and now I do it myself. The first time was the hardest, I almost gave up. I usually do a #4 on the sides, a #8 on the top, and then use scissors on the very front. Now it's easy, takes me 25 minutes to cut my hair, clean up the mess, and take a shower.

€45. Free tea or coffee.

major deegan · 04-01-2015 07:00PM

i can imagine 45 euro not being too bad for a ladies cut??

The barbers i use are fairly well known with a few branches in Dublin. When i went in today they had 5 hair dressers at work. And all of them are very good at it.

Galwayguy35 · 04-01-2015 07:06PM

I pay a tenner for number 2 all over, tried doing it myself once and made a hames of it so won't go down that route again.

stimpson · 04-01-2015 07:12PM

€15 and a loyalty card with every 5th cut free. €2 tip. Always have a decent cup of tea and give a quality cut.

What I don't like is when they try and pull the scalp off your scull dressed up as a head massage. WTF is that all about?

Having said all that I have a Phillips clippers with a swivel head for doing it myself in the summer. No point paying €15 for a number 2 all over.

Buona Fortuna · 04-01-2015 07:12PM

I'm not big into hairdressing and just have it machined all over.

Went into yer wan young Eastern European.

"How you like?"
"Number 2 all over please."

"All your hair?"
"Yes please - number 2 all over."

"All your hair?"
"Yes please."

"All your hair?"
"Well just on my head today, eh?"

Possibly over did it, because rest of the haircut was in stony silence.

All right for €9

im gonna go out on a limb here and say that whoever cuts their own hair is doing a blade all over and not styling with a scissors etc :P

Pwindedd · 04-01-2015 07:22PM

30 quid plus tip of a fiver. Wash cut and blow dry. Cup of tea and I'm in and out in 30-40 mins.

AdFundum · 04-01-2015 07:27PM

€22 at Grafton Barber on Baggot Street. They do a thorough job, beard trim (I've more beard hair than head hair), wash before or after if you want, tea/coffee/beer. They are meticulous. And, however they wrap you, I have never had that itch feeling that can ruin a day.

There's quite a few youtube instructions on how to cut your own hair - never tried it though - but yes most would be the same all over I imagine.

I do the husbands - bare blade all over every 2 weeks.

Where I used to live , you could get a haircut and tattoo in the same place.

In saying that they arguably the worst barbers on the plant , one my young lads went in one day and came home with a haircut that looked like half a hedgehog stuck on the side of his head .

At that price I'd be expecting the tea in a fine china cup, to be served by a scantly glad female.

But then i'm guessing thats for a ladies cut.

15yoyo in the square barber at Lincoln place, D2. 4 sides and short on top.

Great place and a quality job every time.
