When I went to Basic, a haircut on post was $5.70. When i got to my first duty station, it was like $6.70 on post then afterwards raised to $7.70. When i came back from Kuwait (where a full service haircut was $6.65) in early 2017, I think the price had gone up to over $8.

But where I'm at now, if I go on post to get the same exact medium fade I've worn for 5 1/2 years now, it's $11.40. Which if i was paying that like once a month or I had enough hair to actually warrant getting it cut, I might not blink twice, but paying that two+ times a month is a yikes from me dawg.

Different base, so there might be a bit of regional pricing, but it's gone up by over a whole dollar in the time i've been here. Believe it was $9.90 when i got here.

15 * 12 * 7.50 = $1,350.00

Double that if you went twice a month.

Man, my hair cuts cost $25. I go once a month, but really, I'd like to go twice a month.

I should learn to cut my own hair, but I do like the routine of getting my hair cut

So they can donate the hair to have a wig made for someone who can't grow their own hair.
