Do you think $1000 a year is too much for haircuts for guys? (business, employee)

[Garfunkle524]

Yes $1000 a year is about $925 too expensive. Here are some of the things you could do with that savings:

-Buy a latte every work day for the year
-Buy a season pass for Six Flags Magic Mountain for fourteen people
-Invest. 30 years at 7% compounded and you'll get a $7,500 payout
-Take your three kids on a skydiving trip, then to a steakhouse for dinner afterward
-Take a 3-day weekend in Hawaii

You get the picture.

For my hair and what I do, way too much. I get a near shaved head and have it lined up once and twice a month for $17 total a visit which usually includes a $2 tip.

Nope, you should spend at least $10k/year.

I cut my own hair and it looks it too. But FREE!

To be fair some of the money we save always went to my wife's hair dresser to keep my wife as beautiful as ever at no additional cost to the family. It's a win win for the whole family!! I have no idea how much money we saved over the years but I know that it was enough to pay for many things we needed without straining our budget!

I really like the part where I can kiss the barber when she's done with my hair!

So buy a good clipper set , take good care of it , oil the blades (3 in 1 oil) after every use and start saving some real money!!

Sounds a lot like my family..We've always cut our own hair as well...still do, even the kids still come by for a haircut...

It just depends on if you can afford it;plain and simple. I know many women who spend alot more that that each week on their hair.

You know many women that spend more than $52,000 per year on their hair? We do not have the same friends

I spend $144 a year on haircuts for myself.


Now, my 9lb dog goes to the groomer for his haircuts, nails and related stuff six times a year at $72 each. Which comes to $452.


I still can't figure it out. . .

My guess is that he has more hair/fur than you.... but that's just a guess.
