I haven't paid for a haircut in more than 25 years!

Instead I paid $150 dollars for a professional-grade, Oster, Hair Clipper, a set of, 'Guide Combs', two cutting blades, and a pair of barber's scissors. About once a month I set up a large front-to-back mirror, and cut my own hair.

My wife is amazed at how well I do on the back of my head; but, hey, behind-the-head skill comes with practice; and, while I was learning, the mistakes simply grew back in! After more than 2 decades of cutting my own hair I'd have to say that my Oster Hair Clipper is some of the best money I ever spent! (I use both the, '00000' and, '#1.5' cutting blades.)

Yeah wish I could cut my own hair but don't think I can do it unless I was getting a buzz cut. I was wondering if there are any proper barbers (old style barbers with the candy stripe barbers pole) in South Charlotte area.

I cut my own hair as well. It was a useful skill to have when I was unemployed out of college and low on cash. Now, I could easily afford to have it cut elsewhere without much fuss, but I do it on my own anyway. Usually only once every 9 months.

Female: I used to go to the Aveda School where I would get multiple services with a total of $36 (a steal for what nice salons upcharge for long, curly, thick hair)
Now I volunteer for hair shows where they do cut and color for free.

@Shovad, perhaps try The Art of Shaving at the mall. They might not do the exact style you are seeking, but they could maybe give you information on where to go?

$13 at Great Clips. I can't justify paying anything more.

If you pay $40 plus for a haircut you must have more money than you know what to do with. Why on Earth would you pay that much for a haircut when one can get it cut for less than half that at dozens of places. There is no way that place does that much of a better job.

I guess because I can? I like the environment and service, and yes, spending $40 doesn't really worry me... not sure it's really your business how I spend my money .
