my wife has been cutting my hair for about 15 years now. ive had a few haircuts at the local great clips when my wife couldnt do it. i pay with a credit card and try to have a coupon if i can find one. i think its $15 or so.
I have a clipper so I just run it over my head until the hair stops falling. The only time I've been shaved by somebody was when I woke up in the hospital after an accident and found my waist long beard gone.

I was paying $8 for a haircut at a local cosmetology school, training the ladies to cut hair. When they closed for Covid, I went to Great Cuts here and paying $15 and that's with her straightening out my sloppy job of trimming my beard. Really like this lady cutting my hair so I'm going to stick with Great Cuts. Plus I got a free haircut for my birthday!
With tip, I pay $25 for a haircut and trim of my beard. I do my own shaving. I guess everything costs more in New York City, but I've been going to the same barber for over a decade now and love the way he makes me look.
I paid nothing for haircuts for decades, a good friend of mine was a great hair stylist. I went to his shop at closing time, took a good bottle of wine and we drank it while he cut my hair. The standing joke was, "do you want the usual or even on both sides", lol. I guess if you figure he drank half the bottle of wine (usually $20-30 or more), the haircuts weren't really free.
I've paid as much as $40 for haircuts at Aveda salons (well trained and good stylists). I was paying $25 plus tip until I recently found a good guy who does it for $15. I tip $10 because he's very good and undercharges in my opinion.
I pay $12 (no tipping) at a local "traditional" barber shop, but about every third trim, I visit a unisex salon where a former tenant of mine works, for a haircut and a pedicure for my aging feet; that comes to $30 plus two tips, for stylist and pedicurist.
Back during the inflationary Sixties and Seventies, a "Master Barbers' Association" used to agree on price increases (which were advertised in advance) from time to time -- but these met with little resistance.

I just hit it with electric clippers. Shave it down before a shower. Buzz that sumb*tch. I've been through 5-7 clippers. I've saved hundreds I'm sure. And I don't need to book an appointment.
I asked because my neighbor claimed he pays $65
He is a liar so I don’t believe him
