Thick hair and super powers? Time for me to move
I had found a barber I liked and stayed with him for about 15 years. He retired after 58 years and age 84. I tipped $2 on a $15 haircut. Found another guy for a few years. Good barber but all else not so good, so I walked. Tipped him $2 on $13 haircuts. Tried a couple of other barbers, both pretty bad and seemed to only stay in business due a real shortage of men's barber shops. Last year I found a good guy whose wife also occasionally cuts. I tip them $5 on a $15 haircut. If you want something special, l I believe he charges about $22.
I go when I get a chance which can be anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks.

There must be somthing wrong where I live. They use to charge 33 €.
Granted that includes coffee and cookies, she's the owner of shop and
more beautiful than that girl on page 1.
Takes half an hour at least.
I use to tip 5 € btw..

My wife has been cutting my hair during pandemic. She cut it yesterday but was not wearing her reading glasses. Oh well - it will grow back.
More to cut on my beard than head.

My wife has been cutting my hair since the 70's and it always cost me something. 
I'm not complaining.

Been going to the same guy for 20+ years and have always tipped $2. He charges $14 and that includes trimming my eye brows/ears and razor shave the neck. I go every 2 or 3 months, I get it cut short and let grow, the wife likes me in longer hair but I prefer it short.

That's a great price, especially for a barber for 20 years, and all the extra he gives you.... Maybe up his tip to $10, even with a $10 tip, seems like a great value.
Before Covid came, my barber -- his Dad owned 90% of the barber shop & it employed 4 full time barbers & was a gold mine. They were charging $16.00 a cut & I would just give him a $20.00 and say thanks. Now he cuts hair at his own make shift huge garage/barber shop. I give him $25.00 and now you make appointments with him. Been using him for probably the last 12-13 years and have no intentions of moving on or giving him more money at this time.
Take my barber out to eat at least twice a week. Wife loves it. 
I haven’t stepped foot in a ‘ barber shop ‘ in 35 years. The same woman has cut mine and my wife’s hair all these years. She charges $18 to cut mine and it takes her about 12 minutes. Slip her a 20 and she’s tax free happy, 
plus I’ve funneled dozens of customers to her over the years.

Back in the 70 I used to go to a woman that gave a hair cut and a blow dry. We used to call it a hair cut and a BJ.I haven’t stepped foot in a ‘ barber shop ‘ in 35 years.
