OK - I admit I hate to get my hair cut. It's not that I am a feral or have dreds down to my waist - I just don't like to have to sit there in a line waiting 40 min on a Saturday morning - then be held hostage as someone recounts every detail of the latest cricket/football/rugby match... I just want to get in and get out and get on with my day. Don't get me wrong - I'm happy to make polite small talk, but KEEP CUTTING!

...anyways - got sick of the bloke at my local constantly stopping mid cut to give me his one sided views on the AFL ladder, iPhones, car GPS or home theatre... of which he knew little about. So I went to the place in the next suburb...

I'm no 'metro' and have a standard #5 clippers back & sides and 'chopped up' on top - low maintenance and quick drying. 15 minutes in the chair and back again in 6-7 weeks for the same...

$29!!! When did that happen?

buy a clipper and do it your self , wahle is a good brand , is easy and cheap

$20 in Gawler SA for the mob $15 if you are as serious distinguished

gentleman like me, there are benefits for those of us who near their use by

date

I go once every 6 months.
I'm due now.
Pay around 25-30 bucks in Garden City.
I hate having my haircut so to make the transition from hair to no hair i go to any place in garden city where the cutters appear most attractive.
I'm shallow like that.

jimbo the barber, haircut is free and the 20 minutes of banter,read the paper and the ear hair trim is $15

Back in about 2000 to 2002 I was paying $8 in Chatswood (Sydney) NSW at a barber on the mall. Until one day... He took the cloke off me, and my shirt was covered in sweat, as I was so scared they were going to stuff it up again !!

Since then I have opted for the places that the girls also frequent.... I pay about $30 for a nice head massage and shampoo.... all the while hoping she would give me a blowie too ! . But I only get it done about every 3 months. Maybe 4. I go wild and wollie from time to time !!

Note - I have more than a full head of hair, and I have absolutely no prejudice for the guys who are thinning... eg, Kelly Slater.

Lol,, used to have long hair,, then bout 7yrs ago was in Kmart with my wife,, she stopped and picked up an electric clipper set and said "its time for that to go"... Fortunately I'd known my hair was going for some time.....

Now I'm bald and proud,, I'm aerodynamic,, I can read wind changes easily,, and I'm the first to know when its raining!!

While I always expect the cut and suck, it never happens. In sydney I paid 18, but I walked past 2 places afterwards that were 10 bucks. Spew.

Shave my head, cut the dogs hair and mow the lawn all on the same day.
Everything is new and fresh.

Feels good

Don't get that around the wrong way - could be messy!!

However much it costs just make sure it's more than what this kid paid for his

I remember a guy in High School who kept pocketing the money his mum gave him to get his haircut... she got sick of it - so cut it whilst he was asleep!! The result was a little worse that this poor kid... I think he got his haircut properly from then on!!

What's hair?

Another vote here for clippers.
