I was implying the lack of sunshine in the UK.

But there is a link about it. Google comes up with lots.

Was just curious, I'm not in any danger of losing my hair. Although Mr BS is and is clearly spending disproportionally high amounts on having it cut.

It was just a random Google search and I picked one. I never actually read the links.

you might want to get a refund on the grey hiding bit

The 2 barber cuts I've had here were $17 and $23 and I thought that was bad but $50 for a bloke

$12 plus $3 tip. Same barber for the past 30 years, keep telling him I'll give him one more chance.

$45 for me and always a $5 tip for the young girl that lops it off Add approx $8 -$10 train fare and it becomes quite expensive

Default Re: how much for a haircut?

I get my hair cut by an excellent barber in Jannali whenever we visit the outlaws for $15. If the gap between visits is too long I get one of my boys to cut it for free using our hair trimmer. I refuse to pay $23 in Canberra for a haircut that's designed to last only a month. There's a bloke at Tradies in Dickson that does it for a tenner but his haircuts are a nightmare!

Default Re: how much for a haircut?

I pay $12-$15 bucks depending upon how good a day the barber is having. There's a coffee shop next door so I'll poke my head around the door & ask if she wants a coffee, usually it's a yes so I pay $12 lol
Same shop for 9 years so we're all mates now even the girl that makes the coffee & brings it next door to us.
