How much do you spend at the hairdressers/Barbers?

freshpopcorn · 13-03-2019 10:39pm #1

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.

Tenner is the business.

vkus6mt3y8zg2q · 13-03-2019 10:42pm

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

L1011 · 13-03-2019 10:42pm

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.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 13-03-2019 10:43pm

€10.

GreeBo · 13-03-2019 10:43pm

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

theteal · 13-03-2019 10:43pm

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

Junkyard Tom · 13-03-2019 10:46pm

Three quarts of cider every new moon.

wally1990 · 13-03-2019 10:48pm

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

EmmetSpiceland · 13-03-2019 10:49pm

€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.

Sephiroth_dude · 13-03-2019 10:50pm

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

13-03-2019 10:51pm

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.

Sheep Shagger · 13-03-2019 10:55pm

€12 at barber opposite Kennedys Pub (Westland Row)

harr · 13-03-2019 11:01pm

€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.

emeldc · 13-03-2019 11:06pm

€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.

Autosport · 13-03-2019 11:09pm

€80 every 3-4 weeks colour, cut and blow dry

13-03-2019 11:10pm

50-60
probs once every 6 months because i can't be arsed
it's a fancy kind of place though. previously was paying 30

Atlantic Dawn · 13-03-2019 11:12pm

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.

mvl · 13-03-2019 11:13pm

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

linpoo · 13-03-2019 11:14pm

€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.

HeidiHeidi · 13-03-2019 11:15pm

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.

Noveight · 13-03-2019 11:15pm

€12.

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

markc1184 · 13-03-2019 11:15pm

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

kwestfan08 · 13-03-2019 11:19pm

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

SCOOP 64 · 13-03-2019 11:21pm

€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.

Gael23 · 13-03-2019 11:21pm

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

Tauriel · 13-03-2019 11:23pm

€150-€180 every two to three months for roots, balayage, cut and curly blow dry

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.

Cee-Jay-Cee · 13-03-2019 11:40pm

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.

Alias G · 13-03-2019 11:46pm

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

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 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.

bodice ripper · 14-03-2019 12:00am

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

How much do you spend at the hairdressers/Barbers?
