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.

That would be a bit far for me to go for my haircuts but I’m glad you’re getting decent cuts for that price.

If I could stand over the quality of a Dublin city or suburban barber for a lower price I’d make a booking but any place I’ve seen with the tenner or less offers don’t look like they do anything except shave heads or make people look like feral vikings.

What type of haircut do you get?

artanevilla · 13-03-2019 11:36pm

40 odd at the best barbers in Dublin. Hint: It's on Westmoreland Street.

Gimme A Pound · 13-03-2019 11:38pm

About every six weeks, €65 to €80 and I only get colour and sometimes a very small cut (just a tidy-up). Women's salons just are more expensive.

I enjoy it though, and view it as a treat as well as a grooming necessity.

What does the service involve? How long does it last for?

Jayzus, judge much?

Some men look nicer with a shaved head. I hear women don’t mind Jean-Luc Picard.

So there.

I bought cordless clippers about 5 years ago for €50 and cut my own hair. Blade 1 and back and sides and No.2 on top. So I guess that works out at 20c a week roughly.

deisemum · 13-03-2019 11:41pm

Around €80 - €85 every 5 - 6 weeks for colour and trim.

retalivity · 13-03-2019 11:41pm

€8 every 2-3 months, with a €2 tip, off an iraqi lad in d8.
He's sh1te, but i dont have much hair anyway.

Dial Hard · 13-03-2019 11:44pm

€70 for a full head of meche, toner, treatment, cut and blow dry every 12-16 weeks or so. My hairdresser is a friend and does it as a nixer. Same job in a salon would be north of €150, over €200 in some. Not a hope in hell would I pay that but I know plenty who do.

Haven't paid for a haircut in 23 years. DIY with a clippers.

We heard you the first time!

beertons · 13-03-2019 11:50pm

We heard you G, relax.

Mine is 11 with a Euro tip every 6 weeks. Same place last 15 years, either of the 2 lads in there can cut me. However if I go for a wet shave, only the Polish lad will do. The Indian owner is too rough.

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.

I used go to a salon with a barber and two hairdressers for years. I switched last year. They used always take ages or he used be off.
However the nattering that used go on would melt your head. It was either about bingo or weddings.

I go to a barber's and pay a tenner, once a year. I refuse to pay fanny-tax on having an inch off my hair.

I have only been refused based on my gender in hipster barbers, where it is staffed by young men in women's jeans. I imagine they must be terrified that someone will call them hairdressers...

Ariadne · 14-03-2019 12:20am

I get my hair done every 3-4 months, all over colour, cut and highlights, about 120 euro.

I'll have to get it done more often as I start to grey but for now I'm still getting away with it.

What numbers on the clippers do you use?

rocky1813 · 14-03-2019 12:47pm

80 euros when I’m getting color done. 140 euros for cut and color and my hair’s short. Dublin city centre prices.

DelBoy Trotter · 14-03-2019 1:07pm

I go to the barbers once a month at 20 quid a go. The good thing about the barber I use is that you can't walk in off the street and queue, you must book in via their website, so you get a time slot and there is no hanging around

Maybe it suits people. I can’t understand the mindset of someone who judges other people. I’m sure many people will think your hair style looks ridiculous

jester77 · 14-03-2019 1:12pm

€80 every month for a cut and dry. Prices are crazy here :mad:

Grayson · 14-03-2019 1:17pm

zero. I shave my head with a razor twice or three times a week. And since I bought a razor pit I spend half as much as i used to on razor blades.

(Here's the razor pit site, https://www.razorpit.com/ I actually heard about it in a thread on after hours)

Irish Guitarist · 14-03-2019 1:21pm

I shave my own hair grade four. I don't charge myself anything. I'd like to give myself a couple of euro as I clean up all the hair off the floor and everything but I just won't take any money off of me.

€12 at barber opposite Kennedys Pub (Westland Row)

He's just got a new customer, then. I pass there between Pearse Station and the office every day. I had been going to the Grafton Barber on Baggot St, at €18 for a dry cut, which seems a lot when I could get it in my home town for €10, but that means a Saturday, and queuing. This week I found out that the Grafton Barber has put the price of a dry cut up to €21. In my book that's too much to pay, even for convenience.

SusieBlue · 14-03-2019 1:24pm

An embarrassing amount

€160 every 8/10 weeks for a full head of highlights, toner, olaplex and cut (if needed).
€350 every 4 months for a fresh set of bonded extensions.

I'd often get a toner in between highlight appointments as well if my hair was looking brassy, which is €30 a pop.

I'm too vain for my own good.

Bedford Stuy?

razorblunt · 14-03-2019 1:27pm

£27. £30 with tip.

Boom_Bap · 14-03-2019 1:33pm

I expect to pay anywhere around 20 and would throw a few quid tip as well.
I'm very fussy though and will only allow certain people to cut my hair.
