OK - I admit I hate to get my hair cut. It's not that I am a feral or have dreds down to my waist - I just don't like to have to sit there in a line waiting 40 min on a Saturday morning - then be held hostage as someone recounts every detail of the latest cricket/football/rugby match... I just want to get in and get out and get on with my day. Don't get me wrong - I'm happy to make polite small talk, but KEEP CUTTING!
...anyways - got sick of the bloke at my local constantly stopping mid cut to give me his one sided views on the AFL ladder, iPhones, car GPS or home theatre... of which he knew little about. So I went to the place in the next suburb...
I'm no 'metro' and have a standard #5 clippers back & sides and 'chopped up' on top - low maintenance and quick drying. 15 minutes in the chair and back again in 6-7 weeks for the same...
$29!!! When did that happen?
Perth is an expensive place. Something like $12 for a beer.
In Sydney which apparently is also an expensive place I pay $4 for a beer at the RSL club and $12 for a haircut.
$20 in Gawler SA for the mob
$15 if you are as serious distinguished
gentleman like me, there are benefits for those of us who near their use by
date

Q. Men's haircut - how much are you paying ?
A. Nothing! Either my wife or my eldest daughter does mine - and a good job they do too
.
Haven't paid for a haircut for >30yrs.
I go once every 6 months.
I'm due now.
Pay around 25-30 bucks in Garden City.
I hate having my haircut so to make the transition from hair to no hair i go to any place in garden city where the cutters appear most attractive.
I'm shallow like that. ![]()

I mow my lawn the same,
as low as I can, right down to the roots,or dirt
, so I dont have to worry about it for as long as I can.
Mowing lawns and getting hair cuts means time wasted not at the beach![]()

Back in about 2000 to 2002 I was paying $8 in Chatswood (Sydney) NSW at a barber on the mall. Until one day... He took the cloke off me, and my shirt was covered in sweat, as I was so scared they were going to stuff it up again !!
Since then I have opted for the places that the girls also frequent.... I pay about $30 for a nice head massage and shampoo.... all the while hoping she would give me a blowie too ! ![]()
. But I only get it done about every 3 months. Maybe 4. I go wild and wollie from time to time !! ![]()
Note - I have more than a full head of hair, and I have absolutely no prejudice for the guys who are thinning... eg, Kelly Slater.
Lol,, used to have long hair,, then bout 7yrs ago was in Kmart with my wife,, she stopped and picked up an electric clipper set and said "its time for that to go"... Fortunately I'd known my hair was going for some time.....
Now I'm bald and proud,, I'm aerodynamic,, I can read wind changes easily,, and I'm the first to know when its raining!!
While I always expect the cut and suck, it never happens. In sydney I paid 18, but I walked past 2 places afterwards that were 10 bucks. Spew.
Shave my head, cut the dogs hair and mow the lawn all on the same day.
Everything is new and fresh.
Feels good
$8 from Spingvale
Haircut place opposite a very smelly fish shop in a very busy little arcade.
Job done n 10 minutes.
Used to go to a small unisex hair place in Vic Park, was a nice 40 some lady with big (.(.) she used to rub them all about my face an neck..... was $ 17-00 used to go every 4 weeks was 15 minutes of heaven
They closed the shop so went to buy electric clippers
.
What do you do when the clippers do not cut very well anymore? Starting to pull your hair? I tried to pull it apart to sharp the blade but could not put it back again! ![]()
