No one's hair grows that fast, this sounds like an obsessive-compulsive disorder.

During my Active Duty career in the US Navy of 20 years; I can see where I likely spent $1,000 for haircuts [spread out over 20 years].

I routinely cut my hair every 2 weeks.

That seems a bit excessive to have your hair cut weekly, lol.

Get mine cut maybe every couple of months on the back porch by Mrs. Phil.

Been trying to get that done topless. I figure that maybe that could be a niche market for some barber shops and I should do some home-study on the matter. She says if topless is what I want, I could take off my shirt.

As far as cost, I suppose it is nominally free, but I offer to stuff dollar bills for good service.

Although come to think it -- I think she gets more than $1000 a year out of my wallet . . . a lot more.

Back towards the start . . . that $1000 seems reasonable.

An obsessive-compulsive order for sure.

Definitely obsessive compulsive; nobody's hair grows that fast.

I get mine cut roughly once a month for $12 plus a $3 tip. I guess that's what...$180/ year?

I have better things to spend the other $820/ year than my hair.

This is about the closest you will get as far as I have seen, and a basic cut is only $18:

Bikini Barbers
