I think it's a bit crazy for someone to pay $25 bucks for a haircut. However, that's what I did yesterday and I must say my barber did a great job. I remember when haircuts cost like $9.99 or something like that. My question is how much are you paying for your haircuts?
$65, plus $120 for highlights/babylights, not including tip--and that is cheap for a good salon in a major metropolitan area. When I was in New York it was much more.
The last time I got a haircut for less than $50 it looked like I did it myself in the dark with a butter knife. No thank you.

My last one was about $50. I would run like hell from a $9.99 haircut.
I was shocked to learn renting a chair in a hair salon in good location is $700,water is extra,the salon is in a popular shopping mall next to a popular supermarket.
haircut with no shampoo is $15
That's our situation here. Little mall store that keeps changing hands. They charge $5 for DH cut and we just show them this picture since we can't talk to them, lol.
OTOH, I pay over $300 for color, keratin straightening and a trim. Takes like 4 hours so I don't complain. It's only once or twice a year. I show them a picture of Gwenyth Paltrow.
You can get a buzz cut in somebody's shack for $2.
I got a haircut last week for $40....that's about as good as you're going to get in Chicago unless you go to Great Clips. It turned out good like usual, but it's not difficult to cut long, fine hair...
How does a person make enough to live on when charging $10 a haircut????
I'd be embarrassed to pay so little.
For many years I had a barber who charged $3 a cut. I think that was the price when he opened his shop in the early 1970s and he never raised the price through the end of the 1990s. He had his son and daughter cutting hair there too. They were always busy, and haircuts never lasted more than 15 minutes. So they were making about $12 an hour base, probably $18 - $20 with tips. I loved the place. Fast, cheap, and great haircuts every time.
The last barber I had charged $15. When the pandemic started I boosted his tip from $3 to $5. So I was paying $20. Since then I've had a run in with him over vaccinations, so I won't be going back.
Honestly I think the barber doing the $3 haircuts was making more than the barber charging $15. The $3 barber was making up to $20 an hour. I doubt the $15 barber averages anywhere near that. He is always sitting in an empty shop waiting for customers, and I know I'm not the only customer he has lost. So his income must be plummeting.
I miss old school barbers. Today's barbers are inefficient and have no customer service skills. They act like they are doing you a favor by even allowing you to step foot into their shop. Their sense of entitlement is high, so I'm not surprised by their prices. I don't know what I'm going to do. I might just learn how to cut my own hair. It's just not worth going to a barber any more.

Mine is $24. My barber used to charge $20 but raised it to $24 when he was forced to close during the pandemic. He claimed he had to raise his price to pay off his back rent that he owed. I now know that is BS since he reopened more than a year ago and still hasn't lowered his price back to $20. I think he's loving the extra $4 profit on the haircuts...
$150 for cut and highlights is actually a great deal!
When I used to get my hair highlighted it would take a minimum of 3 hours. It's a lot of work if the stylist does it right especially if you have lots of hair like I do and want full versus partial highlights. They have to do very small sections at a time and it requires lots of foils!

Agreed. This is one area where I'm not willing to compromise.
I think I pay $130 for cut and partial highlights + tip; it costs more when it's a full head. It's a multi step process that takes about 3 hours. I don't mind paying it because my stylist does a great job.

I started cutting hubby’s hair during the pandemic, and he’s not going back to the Great Clips. $17. Plus tip. I’m running a tab.
