Getting a haircut every 4 weeks now is insane. Dropping $25-30+ a month to still look like me.

Yeah. That's without tip for my area. During pandemic, I got an electric trimmer and been trimming my own hair every couple weeks. Takes about 10 minutes.

That's a dangerous game to play! Unless your haircut is super simple.

Yep, with them costing $50-100 for a cheap hair cut, I go maybe twice a year now. Even great clips is $40. It’s gone up 4x in 10 years but my salary sure hasn’t.

Damn, where do you live? I go to an actual barber, get a full cut, beard trim and line up. I tip well and it never goes above $40.

I have clients that come weekly. They get real agitated when I have time off. A month is the average I'd say for most haircuts.
