Are you one of these types that has to go to a hairdresser, or is the decent barber good enough?

How much do you spend?

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

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

Fiver every 3-4 months.

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

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

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

£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. 😳

£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)

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. 🙁

£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.

(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!

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)

£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.
