Being, uhhh, “frugal” with my money, I got my haircut at the local beauty college for years. For $5-6 bucks I got a good cut every time but one and what guy can complain about a pretty young woman running her fingers through his hair (before she chops it)? All in all, a great deal.
That all changed when I moved overseas last winter and got my first haircut in my new country in January. Curly hair is not an Asian trait and when the male barber (who couldn’t speak English) started out very slowly, I began to wonder “What is this going to end up looking like?” Turned out to be one of the best haircuts I’ve ever had and the price was something like $1.25 plus a generous tip from one very relieved customer.
Going bald never bothered me since it was inevitable as I looked at the family gene pool in the older guys as I grew up. Unlike my brother who spent a few thousand for hair plugs even though with or without hair a dick is still a dick (we’ve lost track of how many women he has dated and lived with over the years).
One advantage now is that I bought a home barber kit for $20 awhile ago. I give myself a haircut that is good enough for the wife to stop checking the final result now.
I don’t know the current price of a haircut but when I stopped going it was $15 in my area. I know that I have saved a few hundred dollars with a lot more to go into the piggy bank in the future.
My wife, however, will not go to her hairdresser because of the number of people in the shop and their casual approach about the protocols. She looks like an abandoned poodle at times (no I am not telling her but she is welcoming winter and thick big hats), but is doing what she can to be presentable in public.
She is not to the point of asking me to be involved. I try to sashay and say “FAAABBBULOUS” but I cannot convey the proper attitude and vibe.
