    Can someone please explain why it costs so dang much for a woman to get her hair cut? Brothers, are you with me on this? New idea for enrichment: skip the arts and crafts and invite a few lesbians or fiscally responsible heterosexuals to speak to the women about inexpensive hair maintenance.
    The price for one haircut for a woman = The price of several haircuts for a man over the same period of time...

      They should give me a discount. They only have to do half the work

      The local barbershop I go to charges $11

      I may be small, but I'm slow.

      A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."

        I voted other with Tim in mind. He seems like a man who doesn't mind spending a bit to pamper himself.

        I, on the other hand, am actually quite cheap when it comes to haircuts. In fact, I've been known to go without them for up to a year at a time. When I am in short-hair mode I frequent Great Clips, because they run a monthly $6 haircut coupon (regularly $13). After a $4 tip, I'm out the door for $10.

        It helps that the Great Clips near my house has two people who cut my hair well. One is a very homely lady who looks like she doesn't even style her hair. The other is a gay latino guy who does almost as good a job as the homely lady (though he gets a bit fauxhawkish if I don't remind him not to). There are a few very attractive ladies who cut hair at this same place, but none of them do as good a job as these two. The receptionist always seems surprised when I request the homely chick or the gay guy, because I think most guys request the hot chicks. Personally, I prefer the long term benefits of a better haircut over the short-lived benefits of the hot stylist.

          I voted for nikuman. I would not underestimate the price he would be willing to pay for a good haircut/style. Though, knowing his wife, he may not need to pay anything, as I would not be surprised if she can style his hair to his liking.

            I usually spend about $25 (incl. tip), but I always walk by this place and might try it out someday, especially with the manicure thrown in for $10 more:

              When I lived in LA I used to go to a place in Fairfax. $72 for the cut and style, $20 tip for stylist, and $5 tip for the shampoo boy.

              When I moved to Utah, I found you can get the same haircut (minus the style blow out) for $12 with a $5 tip.

                I haven't paid for a haircut in 15 years.

                  I always used to cut my own hair. Until I grew it out in the last year. I've paid a couple people to cut it and have been very dissatisfied both times. So I'm done paying for haircuts again.

                    $10,000.00 I put my wife through hair school and I think she has cut my hair once. I usually just shave it myself.

                          Does Tim have hair? (No offense, Tim, but if I recall from your pictures, your noggin is rather smooth and shiny.)

                            You need to follow this up with a poll on who probably cuts their own hair.

                              I was going to go with who does, or should, shave their back.

                                I have paid for exactly one hair cut in 22 years. I had a job interview and my wife was in Germany. I had no choice...

                                My wife started cutting mine as soon as we got married - I told her that if she didn't cut it, I'd cut it myself and she'd have to live with the consequences.

                                She wasn't very good at it at first. I really didn't care. Now she's got it down pretty well.

                                My sons - 19 & 17 have never had a haircut from anyone other than frau doctor mom...
