I normally pay £38 - £46 every two or three months. But I did go from the ages of 13 - 24 without having a haircut, so it probably balances out...
You would be able to guess if you saw mine.
Grab it into a ponytail and chop off a few inches once and a while. I do clean the dogs scissors beforehand though.
Plenty. But I'm vain, and make up for it in not spending in other areas.
I worry about the number of people who consider shaving their heads all over to be a hair "style". It's like the "I wear Aldi, me" approach of so many STWers to their sartorial matters.
£5.50 every 3 weeks for a No. 1 all over, at the same local barber's I've been going to for at least 20 years.
If either of the hired hands do it, that gets me a quick going over with the clippers plus a bit of tidying up round the edges. If the proprietor himself does it, the scissors come out as well, and it takes twice as long as he seems to be on a mission to get every single hair [i]exactly[/i] the same length. Can't complain at all about the results from all three, but it always feels like a "proper" haircut when the proprietor does it.
Any blokes that pay over £20... WTF do you get done? Post a picture of these creations...
Anyone else here ever worry about their clippers dying mid cut?
£13 every 6 weeks by a bloke at my local barbers. He's dad to one of the boys in my daughter's class so it's slightly mates rates, and also I'm happy to be paying him rather than a total stranger.
I really resent all you baldy clipper blokes though, with your fantastic money saving tales. I wouldn't dare use them because
1/ I've got ears like a London taxi with both doors open. If I don't keep a decent length it looks chuffing ridiculous
2/ A mate at work bought a pair and got his wife to do a grade 4 all over.
"Whirrrr....clunk!"
"What was that?"
"Umm.... the guard's just fallen off"
so he ended up getting a grade 0 (to match the absolute bald chunk she'd just cut in the back of his thatch), about 2 days before a major customer presentation. He looked an absolute state.
I contemplated using clippers, my wife bought a set but bottled out and refused to do it.
I saw a decent set of clippers which had loads of attachments, but she's a cheapskate and bought a cheapo set from Wilkinsons...I didn't really trust them so glad she bottled out.
When I finally decide that I am going bald (slightly receeding at the moment but I think I get away with it - which probably means I don't), I'll go for the Grant Mitchel look. A few of my friends have and they all look ill, but if it has to be done i'd rather that than a comb over.
I saw a guy in Jessops the other day who had a 'comb forward' he looked ridiculous...I just couldn't understand why no one had told him.

That happened to me once, just after I'd cut a nice valley down the centre of my hair in a sort of 'reverse-Mohican' style.
I have to put on my woolly winter hat in the middle of summer and go to Boots to buy a new set of clippers.
I just couldn't understand why no one had told him
cos it's much funnier to take the p1ss behind his back.
Another clippered by the wife guy here, I'm afraid.
Before that I had long hair, so I didn't spend much money on haircuts then either tbh.
