Current Events > Is $14.55 too much for a haircut every two weeks?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Haircuts on post are going up to $14.55 on the 1st <_<

The people above me get antsy if I go more than two weeks(as in, once a paycheck) without one.

I only ever get the same medium fade to the skin.

---

i get a haircut once a month.
it costs $35 because i have thick wavy and hard to cut hair.

---

Man I haven't gotten a haircut at a base barber shop in years, can't believe they're going up to almost 15 bucks for that.


---

I havent cut my hair in over a year. Its pretty easy to learn how to cut your own though if youre worried about cost.

---

I know some black guys get a trim every week for 15$ If you're wealthy, that's still ridiculous but whatever. But bruh, these guys had my same college debts.

---

Nah. I pay $25 for a haircut every 3 weeks

---

That isn't bad haircuts in my area are $40+ due to corona. They passed on cost of cleaning shop after every haircut onto the customers. I probably need to go to a new area now. It was $13-15 pre-covid for a haircut.

That sounds like some bullshit. I mean, I don't know how hair salon's work, but I have thick, dense horse's hair. Sometimes ladies need to take a break halfway through just cause it's that tough. I always tip well, sorry it's such a tough job, but never is my tip doubling the cost of the actual cut.

That would come out to about 16.67 every two weeks.

---

My parents get mad at me for having a $20 haircut every 2-3 months.
---

when i need a haircut i just buzzcut all of it off myself

which i haven't done in like a year and a half since i'm just growing it out

---

I usually pay like $50, so not really, but also, there's no real reason to get a haircut every two weeks.

---

I just shave my head, my razor cost $10 every two months.

Which is fair, imo. I tip my stylist well, they cut it quick and well and the conversations arent a drag.

If you have a fade then you need to get a haircut every 2 weeks or it'll look bad

Military

That is way too often. Pre covid I'd get my haircut every 3 months.

---

Except if you're in the Navy then they just keep extending the relaxed grooming requirements, aw yeaaahhhhhh

I was the same 4 years ago until I brought my own clippers and never looked back. They paid for themselves within the first 3 or 4 months.

---

Once every 2 months or so. Who the fuck needs it every 2 weeks?

---

I pay $20 every two months

---

I get John Cenas most popular hair cut every 2+ months.

I can't do any kind. I have broken a hairband before. Though, my hair's never been that long.

I love it! They also waived both PT tests for this year and next year they're getting rid of curl-ups and going to planks (and planks aren't going to count for the first test lawl)

Yeah, I always get a giggle out of when I see dudes brag that they cut their own hair and think it looks great. Nah bro, it looks like you did it with zero training and a mirror. No shame if you don't have the money, but you're not stunning anyone lol

I always get it buzzed pretty short then let it grow for six months... I think my barber is $13 or 14 but I tip and round up to 15.

---

I do once a month at $30/cut

So that seems fair to me.
---

Its not enough; unless you want to look like a chump

Yes. Make it once a month, and ti would be fine.

You pay for quality bro

a $15 haircut is a cut that looks good right now

pay more and you get a cut designed to grow out looking good too

i pay $50 for a cut but only have to go every 3 months or so

---

I'm bad at hair so idk. You do you. Although I was getting a shampoo a couple times a week for a while which was just cause it was like a short massage.

@Iodine I sold my soul to the United States Federal Government in exchange for paycheck and a place to live <_<

though i get that military life may seem foreign to those not in the military. We're expected to get haircuts somewhere between every week and once a paycheck

---

I pay $50.

---

Yeah it is too much for me.When I did have to get a hair cut on post it was like $7 for a super short buzz.

Luckily I've been cutting my own hair since I was 16.

Yeah, why the fuck would anyone need that? I'd imagine people that shave their heads do it at home.
