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

A man who cuts his hair once a week is just weird. What kind of hairstyle do you have that forces you to cut your hair that often?

Hair grows 1/4 a week,

1/2 on my ear no big deal.

$20.00 no shampoo little high for a HC with clippers...at least in this area.

Did your parents and grandparents never see a traditional depiction of Jesus?

"Traditional depiction" are the key words here. What do you suppose an actual Jew from the first century in the middle east really looked like. Hint: it was not tall & blond with European features.

Maybe a little more like this:

I spend less than $15 a month , roughly 150 $ a year for haircuts; and I get quality haircuts. I believe for a guy it's not possible to spend that much in haircuts, unless the dude wants to sponsor his favorite hairdresser maybe ?

Take one zero out of the 1000 and you're just about right. Unless you are a corporate executive, a thou a year is outrageous..
I get a haircut every four to six weeks, and pay $7. plus $3 for a tip, total ten bucks..
No one needs a haircut every week.
I don't know you, but the fact you spend $20 a week on haircuts tells me there is something very wrong. Who are you trying to impress? Perhaps your money is being misdirected on the wrong kind of professional...

Wayy too much IMO. Are you one of these metrosexual guys? Always gotta look good?

I get a haircut every 6 weeks or so for $15 at Great Clips and that includes a $3 tip.

How many guys are we talking about?

Considering that I pay about $90 $10(which includes a $2 gratuity) about every 6 weeks, I'd say the OP is payng way too much.

A haircut a week? Who does that?

I could believe maybe once every two weeks, although I think most guys are more like 4-6 weeks. Get some clippers and trim around the edges if that is the issue.

$20/haircut is not unusual in major urban areas. Could be higher in some places. I'm talking about a normal place on the street or at the mall, not some high end hairdresser.
