How much for a haircut?

[Pale Rider]

I called into a barber in Newcastle-upon-Tyne today for a trim and walked out £12 - and quite a few hairs - lighter.

Price was £10.50, but the service and expertise was good so a gratuity seemed appropriate.

It was, however, a bit more than I was expecting.

My fault for choosing a place opposite the central station.

A barber in the outlying areas would have been cheaper.

How much do you pay for a haircut?

£0

What is this "hair"that you speak of?

 

[yello]

zero, zip, zilch, nada and rien

My hairdresser extracts payment by other means.

It's what grows on the side of my head, but no longer on top of it.

You'd have been better off going into Gotham Town and buying some really cheap trebles to forget about needing a haircut.

I get free haircuts off my hairdresser sister last time I layed a laminate floor in her living room and got a free haircut, the time before I layed a ceramic tile floor in her very large kitchen and got a free haircut.I think I'm going to let it grow for a while now though.

You guys should think yourselves lucky. £20 here and that's a chunk knocked off since I have stuck with the same hairdresser for years. Should be £28 I think and many are more than that.

Local hairdresser charges £6 and £3 if your over 60

£7 quid, I'm sure he puts miracle gro on his scissors.

Wonder how much @User14044 gets charged as he's in his 70's

I bought a pair of clippers about 5 years ago for £20 and used them at least twice a week since then.

 

[Paulus]

£12 to cut mine.

 

[cosmicbike]

£11 to have mine shaved every couple of months, though that does include scorching off the ear hairs..

Even £20 seems cheap! I think mine is somewhere about £40, but I lots who pay a lot more! My daughter just paid £90 but she wasn't told the full cost up front which seems a little unfair.
