[Closed] How much do you spend on a haircut?

5 pounds every 3 weeks for a number 1 all over.

And they wash what's left of it afterwards as well!

5 pounds every 3 weeks for a number 1 all over.

pervert

£0.00

Clippers in the bathroom.

My mrs is a barber though and charges a fiver - less for clippers etc.

£0. Clippers @ home.

nowt... I invested £16 in a set of electric clippers years ago and do a swift grade zero cut on me face and head once a week..

job's a good 'un..

£20 on a set of clippers and do it myself. Or get someone else to.

Fiver every 3-4 months.

Don't like getting my hair cut and certainly don't want to waste money in some mincey hairdressers.

£20 on clippers 3 years ago

5 pounds every 3 weeks for a number 1 all over.

+1, although I paid £5.50 the other week.

And I let it grow for a bit more, every 6 weeks probably.

£38 every few months.

Clippers, completely bald once a week.

£0 if I do it myself with my own clippers

£7 if I go to the Barbers

£10 if I go to the local hairdressers, its worth it just for the fit girls that work there.

Cut it every 6 months or so, usually down to a grade 3

Used to be about £8 every fortnight but saw the light and did as above; investing in clippers for about £20 about 6 weeks ago. I'm now in the black and with my pretty simple haircut (more simple than pretty!) it's a great idea. If you're ok with a No 2 all over and have an obliging missus to help with the bits you can't reach / see, it works fine...

Creg - do you like it when they touch your head with their boobs?

£8 every two months. There is a lovery chunky blonde girl at the hair dressers who always presses her ample warm belly and bosom into me. It's a nice place to be. 😳

Creg - do you like it when they touch your head with their boobs?

Yup, makes me glad I have that gown thingy on

£3 here for a no 1 or 2 cut depending on the weather, every few weeks. Tried the clippers thing at home, but not compatible with not seeing what I'm doing with specs off, and a cack handed mrsmidlife. Also a faff putting cloths down to catch the trimmings.

£26 (but I make it up to £30) every four to five weeks. My next four cuts are already booked in 😳

£88 at the last doo. I was speechless but to compensate I won't let Spouse go to Barbers, he does his own now with clippers.

£15 on clippers 5 years ago , not having to spend wads on a hairdoo every other month is the main benefit of a receding hairline. And everyone knows a skinhead makes you look rock 'ard 8)

£9 every couple of months

But the shop has good tunes, games, coffee and bacon butties. And skate decks.

Do it meself with clippers and the crappy scissors that came with the clippers.

It doesn't go well, and I invariably end up looking like a Broadmoor patient. There follows much sobbing, but it does grow out quite quickly. 🙁

Clippers for hair, face and hmmm...legs 😳

I spy a couple of hoofters on the forum 😉

£0.00

Once a week, clippers with no guard (number 0?)

£0: got some clippers.
Never tried doing it myself though, is it as easy as it sounds?

Mastiles you total tart. You've got a wife - why bother paying that much for a haircut you numptey!

£8 every 3 to 4 months.
I used to let the students do it for £3 a pop but the place I used to use had a change of owner and now charge £5 if the students cut it, so I go to a nicer place and let a decent hairdresser cut my mop.

I have never tried it, but there must be some good videos on how to do it on the internet somewhere.

£3.50 with 50p tip in my barbers !!
but i do live in beruit.............sorry i meen burnley 😆

(Mr MC posting)

another vote for £20 on a set of clippers. I cut my own, grade 1 all over every 2-3 weeks. Usually get MC to inspect to make see if Ive missed a tuft or tramline on the back. And sometimes she'll even tell me!

Nothing. My bro does it

Used to go to Toni and Guy were a really fit blonde with a pert ass cut it for £17. Now my misses mate does it for a fiver, would never go back to a hairdressers.

£5 every 6-8 weeks with the added bonus that she sticks her boobs in me ears, (but I think thats as far as she'll go)

Clippers. Won't pay for someone to do what I can.

£13 every two to three months. Been going to the same hairdresser since 1979, when my then girlfriend introduced me, because she wasn't at all impressed with the way it was being cut. Cost me £8 back then. Bev does a brilliant job with my ever-thinning thatch, and I'll happily keep driving down to Bath to let her cut it.

Clippers also (are you spotting a theme here?). My last pair lasted a good 5 years before being too blunt to cut without pulling. On to a ceramic cordless pair now.

#2 every week or two.

I take my Son (8yrs) when I go. It now takes longer to cut his hair than mine so we both score for a kids cut at about £7.00 each! I don't get offered a lolly at the end though.

£15 a month, at a decent barbers, I ring the chap in the morning and he lets me have a time so there will be no waiting. It's all very civil, and money well spent to me.

11 quid, once a month, includes cup of tea and some ****ing classic banter. In fact I drive 20 mins to use the same place since I moved.

6.75 and it grows slowly. I've been enough times to be allowed to state a preference, and get the lady there to do it as her cuts are more stylish (there's nothing phwoar about her really but she's great)

£0.00 for the past decade.

I invested in £20 clipper once I noticed my hairs were getting thinner. From there on it was grade zero all over it since there is not much to left to cut.

The only thing without hairs is that there is no protection from the elements.

😯

£8 at the local barber. About every 6 weeks

Burger all - I spend it all on bikes. Hairdressers scare me 😡 .

I've got a "barberess". She was a bit curvy a year ago, but took up running again. She's tall, blonde and very very fit! Hasn't rubbed her boobs on my head yet though. 😆 Charges a tenner now - worth every penny.

£20 set of clippers and the other halfs boobs rubbed in all sorts of places..... if I ask nicely 😀

Need one tomorrow 😆 😆

Need one tomorrow

20 ethiopian birr every 5 weeks.

About 90p...

10 mins every week or so.

Clippers at home now but 11 years without cutting it before that.

I did go to the barbers once after that 11 years and said cut it all off. His reply was "You been on f***ing crimewatch."

£6 at the local barbers. About once every 3 weeks or so for a short back and sides...

Just back from Oban where I always go to "Tommy's Top Styles". Tommy qualified in 1961. £5 for all that experience - brilliant.

Hairdressers are often fit but always pretty thick in my experience.

Isn't necessarily a bad thing..

Nowt ... I have some scissors, little idea of what I'm doing and a haircut which proves it!

I once spend £55 on a hair cut...it was 2 days before I got married and forgot to go to the barbers the weekend before so ended up going to some fancy place in Canary Wharf. Got my hair cut by the 'creative sylist', i think that translates to 'wierd looking camp fella, who minces around while cutting your hair'. He said my wife was a lucky lady, so if I ever get bored of her and women, I've got options.

At the weekend I got my hair cut for £8.50 at the local barbers, by a stern looking bloke from Poland...he didn't compliment me once.

But you get what you pay for.

£11 2 or 3 times a year. I often toy with getting some clippers and just going for the number 2 but the GF wouldn't let me- she reckons my head's too big for that sort of haircut.

In the summer months I'll do it at home for free with a set of clippers. Not so confident about that now that I'm single, as before the Gf would tidy up the bits I couldn't see.

When I grow a winter coat, I go to the same hairdresser I have visited for twelve years or more, and for five quid I get a cup of coffee, some good chat, a chance to air some woes, a smart do and, recently, my wee girl gets some French pleats too. Bargain. There's always a tip though, and a bottle of booze at the chrimbo trim.

LOLing at all the blokes talking about their hair like a bunch of gossipy girls.

Just for the record: If I just want my roots doing then graeme on the hair and beauty course will do them plus gossip and scandal thrown in for free. Every 6 weeks my mum ( co owns salon in town) tuts over G's work and does it properly

£37 every 6-8 weeks

£10.50 every 5 or 6 weeks, in fact due a cut now.

Used to pay £30 every 4 weeks when I was younger, thankfully I wised up and realised that I don't suit the cutting edge haircuts I was getting (besides got bored of spending 30 minutes every morning getting my hair looking right!).

clippers for me too... and I even ask myself silly questions like " are you going on holiday?" and then don't listen to my replies, for that full hairdresser experience.

And to the lads who spend £10 and upwards cos the girl is fit... I mean really, cut your own hair and then pop down the local **AHEM* "Gentleman's" Club!

£12 (something like that anyway) every 4 to 6 weeks, at a barbers near where I work. Nice bloke who runs it and cuts really well, the other chair is run by some intimidating East European babuska who's a bit rough but also cuts well - if she listens to what you ask for

I am astounded at the number of people here who use their own clippers.

I bought mine 23 years ago for about £20 (so total saving to date is around 6 x £5 x 23 -£20 = £670 (Wow!))

But I thought I was in an extremely small minority.

Can't say I'd noticed an overly representative number of baldies in the MTB population, so the Singletrack forum must have it's own special demographic.

Maybe Wahl should take out an ad on the site.

£0 every 6 months, to get it back to just fit into a 'pony tail' length, but then my m8's the barber.

£10 once a month.
The other half used to spend £80 - £140 a month on hers........that's a lot of bikes.

£50 for the last one but that included 3 colours and should have been a good bit more - biggest advantage of your local being LGBT friendly??? Loads of hairdressers wanting to do your hair... 🙂

I once had some extensions in - was a bit bonkers - 4 hours with someone pulling at your hair and then you hand over £330.

(yes, I did type that right)

Rachel

£15.50 every month for a Grade 2/3 combo at the local barbers...

Usually between £5-£10 every 2 weeks for a 1 all over. £7 in my local barbers, but usually get it done in works time, where ever I happen to be working 🙂

9 quid every 6-8 weeks. My barber is the best I have ever seen, I've yet to find someone that comes close to his level of ocd'ishness when it comes to cutting hair 🙂

About £15 a year on clippers - then wife shears me every two weeks (ish).

About to pass out at Rachel's £50 per haircut and £330 mission...

£20 on some Wahl clippers 10 years ago and the same ones are still going strong today.

Either a 1 or 0 every 2 weeks. Mrs Skip like a bit of stubble too (rather than me looking like a 10 year old) so even do my chin with it.

Skip - got some deal (half price) on some Remington clippers which are doing very well and then got an "i-trim" for stubbleage - find hair clippers leave it a bit long.

I was told by two people I look a bit like Daniel Craig (I don't) at a party on Saturday (I was all DJ'd up with a "proper" bow tie) with the stubble/short hair look so I was rather pleased. Compliments get rarer and rarer as you get older....!

I bought some clippers 15 years ago (replaced the grade twice) so free hair cuts for me. I do it myself grade one every week or so it is easy even when you take your specs off you feel with one hand and run the clippers over with the other.

In Full Metal Jacket, during the scene where they are all kitted out a guy shears the lot of them. The clippers he uses just rinse through the hair like nobody's business. The ones I have from boots or somewhere are crap and it takes ages to hack through. I do have very thick hair though.

Seeing as there are so many other self administererers of haircuts, what clippers will work like the ones on FMJ?

@Tormnalis - horse ones - I'm not kidding...

Not cheap, mind.

Rachel

Is there anything you can get to slow down hair growth?

i was going through a spate about 7 years ago spending £50 a month. I realised that it was a total waste and bought a pair of clippers, been doing my own ever since
