(Lads) how much are you paying for a haircut? 2024

I pay anywhere between £10 - £15 it just depends on what barber is open, just for all my hair to come off.

positioning the mirror behind your head with one hand as you move the machine with the other whilst also looking in the mirror is quite taxing. I’d rather pay a tenner or so

You're insane! I get mine done at home but need a bit of help with the back as it's a 'short back & sides' - so I can't keep the transition line straight round he back. With any allover length, or 'all off' why on earth wouldn't you get clippers & just do it yourself? You wouldn't even need help - just buzz it & vacuum the bathroom floor before your shower - or bic it IN the shower once a week or whatever?!

I used to pay £15 for a haircut, the guys were brilliant but they were insistent on using a booking app and wouldn’t take walk ins, fair enough but every time I turned up I’d be sitting waiting for at least 45 minutes, they then moved to another shop and put their prices up to £23, couldn’t justify waiting 45 minutes and paying almost £30 for a 0.5 at the sides and a bit off the top, found another barber who takes £12 and is usually tip him a wee bit.

My partner pays £45 at a hairdressers (rather than a barbers). He usually gets some sort of “style” cut and the appointment takes the best part of an hour. He also gets a beer while he’s there. Gets his hair cut every 6-8 weeks, or sooner if there is an occasion (birthday, wedding, interview etc.) where he needs to smarten up! I think it’s crazy expensive. But it’s not my hair, nor is it my money!

I pay £35 (in Scotland) which I’m well aware is completely overpaying. I go to a salon. However, included in that (as well as my haircut - usually a skin fade and tidied on top) I get a drink (coffee, tea, beer, cocktail, wine, fruit juice etc), my hair washed and a head massage. I also have the option of a free ‘maintenance’ cut, so if I ever want the sides re-faded between my usual 4 week haircut, I can go in and get that done for free. So I could get 2 haircuts a month for £35. So all in all it is a luxury but one I feel is worth a bit extra

It’s almost like barbers came up with a style that grows out really quickly and encourages people to get their hair cut every two weeks…. The worst is the Turkish barber shops that insist on using a razor to shape a new hairline around your face. By day three you have stubbly regrowth around it that looks awful.

Haha, in reply to you and u/justanothergin - it’s just a small local place with only one branch and not a chain, so unless you’re in the same town as me then you won’t have heard of it. I’m not in one of the big cities but don’t want to give too much away on where I am 😂 It’s basically a 40 min appointment for my proper haircut but then if I’m wanting the free tidy up it’s just a wee 20 min appointment. I think it’s classed as a ‘fringe trim’ but they just use the 20 mins to tidy up the sides. I’m sure other places will do similar if you look into it! It is good value but I very rarely actually make use of the free 20 min appointment unless I specifically have an event on that lands in between my usual haircuts 😂

18 but give them the 20. Turkish barbers, 5 in there usually so almost no wait for a chair, and I trust all of them to do a decent job. I get offered tea/coffee, hot towel, gel etc and my daughter now likes accompanying me because she gets a lolly at the end and, at Christmas, chocolates. Parking is nearby and free. My old barber was cheaper but the service is much better in the Turkish place and I'm in and out in about 20 minutes so it doesn't eat up my time. I believe you can choose which barber you want though if you're willing to wait for him. I did try another Turkish barber closer to my house that opened up a couple of years ago, he gives you a Bud while you're waiting but it just wasn't as good or convenient.

I think tipping your hair stylist has been a thing for years in the UK. I remember paying for the salon the first time and my mum said to make sure I rounded up to the nearest 5er and give that if they've done a nice job and made me feel special, valued etc. It's very rare I don't chuck my stylist a couple of quid. I give her a tenner towards Christmas so she can pick a bottle of wine she likes. Not exactly a job where you'll ever be raking it in (unless you own the salon etc) but a job we all deemed was essential in lockdown.

I went for a new look and went to a place in Amersham, it cost me £50 and was literally the worst cut I’ve ever had. He scratched up my neck real bad with the razor, shaved off half my stache and my hair looked like the Beatles never made it big. I went in for a Tom Selleck, came out like a scouse crackhead. Back to the £15-20 for me

I find that the more expensive ones usually just have to do with location. And you are largely paying for the convenience of that. For example I know a men's barber in a very expensive office area that charges out the nose. But for the guys who work in the area what they are paying for is really just the convenience of being able to pop in during their lunchbreak or right before/after work. They spend money to save time. Which is fair enough if you've got the money to afford it. Of course rent in these kind of areas is crazy expensive. So there's no way they could charge less than 10 pounds even if they wanted to. But then no one is exactly surprised that central London rents are absolutely atrocious.

My local barber (white British woman) said a lot of Turkish barbers can really only do skin fades, they're not well trained on a variety of styles. Idk how true that is though as she also seemed concerned about losing 'dad and lad' customers who'd started going to them.

That happened to me! My local place was a tenner back in the day, and then slowly crept up, but I'd give them £15 and say keep the change - now it's nearly £20 I think But even still, they're spending 20-30 minutes on you, I don't think £20 for that is super unreasonable, though I only get a trim every 4 or 5 months so it's not like it's a major cost

True tbf though hairdressers are people too. How much they like you or value you as a customer can influence how much they care about getting the cut exactly right. In an ideal world every haircut is gonna be your best, but in reality you aren't at your best every single second you've ever been at work. Used to do a bit of waitressing and genuinely tried to give good service to everyone. However my favourite regulars were definitely people I looked out for especially. That wasn't always based on who left the best tip. But guests showing their appreciation was definitely something I didn't take for granted.

I’ve previously found there was a void between the crappy £10 haircut and the £35 high end ones that wash and dry your hair and offer you a Bacardi with your haircut that you’ve basically paid £15 for!

I pay £29, and go once a month.

Even at twice the price of the cheap places, it doesn't really break the bank, and I know I'm getting my hair done how I like it, I can book so I don't have to wait, the chat is always good, the music in the studio is to my tastes, they have cold drinks in the fridge, and on a good day, both my barber and one of the other barbers bring their dogs in, so you have not one but two dogs to hang with.

They spend a full hour on the haircut rather than the 20 minutes or so you get in most places, and their pricing is 'gender neutral' so you don't get a discount just for being a man.

Reply

[-]

JimmyLUFC@reddit

Gender neutral pricing, give over. They saw you coming a mile off. You don’t get a discount for being a bloke. The price of the haircut is proportional to the time spent, the effort involved and the complexity of the cut. 99% of men have a similarly styled short hair cut which can be cut in 20 minutes. Very simple and repetitive. A woman has a full cut (with far more hair and complexity), that requires more skill/experience in the industry to get right, as well as a wash, blow dry and a style. The man’s is £15-£20 for 20 mins going by the average price in here, which is £60 an hour for the barber. Any average barber could do a fade and short cut on top. Would you trust any random barber to cut a woman’s hair? Would you balls, that’s the experience they pay for. And considering men get their haircut (generally) every 2 weeks, that £20 soon adds up over 6 months in comparison to the woman’s one haircut. Who really gets a discount? 🤔

That’s irrelevant. You’re paying more for experience and/or time, which you’d expect. That’s got nothing to do with men getting discounts on haircuts simply for being born male. When you factor in how frequent men get their hair cut in comparison to women, I’d bet men actually spend more than women (£20 every ~2 weeks as opposed to once every 6 months), Clearly I can read, it’s you that struggles with comprehension and conveniently ignored the “99% of men….” And responded with “but my haircut…”

Im not arguing with anyone mate. You said you pay more for your haircut specifically because it’s gender neutral pricing, where you don’t get the magical male discount.

You rudely told me that they "saw me coming", and when I explained that it's the price is worth it to me because I like having a more careful haircut, you shifted the argument to some other point that I don't really care about.

I don’t think you understand the well known phrase. To say “they saw you coming” means people feel you’re being taken advantage of. There is nothing rude about that whatsoever. Come down off your high horse a second, look at your very first reply - “Can’t you read?” You made it personal, not me. Now that’s rude. You’re completely missing the point. Nobody is calling you out on how much you pay for your haircut or whether you’re happy paying that. You’re being called out for saying the reason you pay so much is BECAUSE you don’t get the magical male discount. There is no discount, therefore if that’s your only justification, you’re being taken advantage of … otherwise phrased as “they saw you coming”. I’ll refer back to my earlier statement, comprehension isn’t your strong point. Have a good day.

Buddy as much as you tell yourself it's worth it, your haircut is not worth £85 unless you're getting it washed, cut, dyed, and styled. Women's haircuts are expensive because they include the above and often take several hours.

Yes obviously it gets washed and styled as well, that's part of getting a normal haircut. It does not include dying and nor does a women's haircut unless you pay extra.

Haven't paid for one since about '99 when the hairdresser asked to "try something new" instead of my usual buzz cut. Being British I agreed without complaint, and she made me look like I was in a boy band and charged me more than double the usual price for it. Haircuts have cost me the price of 2 sets of clippers over the last 25 years. Though in fairness, nature is my primary hairdresser now.

For what i get (skin fade, trim on top and beard shape up/trim) its £20 Manchester, thats what my barber charges and i get it done every week, however my barber is my best mate so to me its free, some lads pay £16.50 every few days tho. Obviously it will go up as times are hard and bills need to be paid. Some people pay a lot more than that elsewhere. My barber is really really good people come from all over for him. His prices are cheap compared to others but he trys to keep his prices low because of the area he is in, he wants haircuts to be accessible to all, for people to be able to feel good and afford it. I do pay for my sons hair and his is a lot cheaper its £7.50 for a skin fade and a trim for his hair.

£16 for a skin fade, trim on top and beard trim, always leave £20. Local, run-down looking, old school barber shop in small town in Scotland. The guy works fast and cuts it the same way every time - only complaint being he's only open early on weekdays and saturdays, so sometimes it is a challenge to fit it around my work. Was paying close to £40 for the same service at the local turkish barber who would regularly butcher my hair and beard and give me a nightmare of having to try to "fix" it myself after.

At nearly 32 years of age, I'm almost at a point where I feel 'too old' to be asking for a skin fade...anyone else? Lol. I've been getting a short back and sides and a trim on top for either £8 if I go super local, or if I go into town, its like £14/15. Depends also if I want my beard shaped as that adds up to over £20 usually.

£28 Tried the local numerous barbers in my town for cots around £10 and they were all shit no wash and lucky to get decent scissors on your bonce. You get what you pay for. I can’t see how they can run the shop, pay a decent wage and charge less than minimum wage. The £28 is a solid hour, wash, cut, finish and a complimentary drink.

I used to go to Ted's Grooming Room, in Fitzrovia specifically, until I tried out the long hair look a couple years back. That's all chopped off and donated now, so I'll be hitting up Ted's again before long. Looks like a haircut is now £45 there, but you used to get a beer / cocktail and a bit of a massage with that... We'll see if you still do!

Currently paying £12 in east London for my haircuts, it's a couple of Indian guys that run it. I used to go to a place nearby that charged £35 quid for a trim. They did great haircuts, but after the tip as well, that was bringing me to £40 every time I went for a skin fade. Couldn't justify it. The guys I go to now do an absolutely grand haircut, it never takes them longer than 30 mins, and they like me as I always tip, so they give me an "Indian head massage" at the end - totally weird experience but not unpleasant.

I’m a woman but have short hair so get the men’s price from the salon I go to, it’s £38 - it’s a salon who use ethical vegan products, and I go to the owner for my cut so I’m happy to pay a little more - I think it’s about £30 for the other stylists. I’ve had a bad experience with other cheaper hairdressers so I was mainly just delighted to find someone who did my hair the way I wanted it! The cheaper barbers can be a false economy sometimes I think, a guy I work with is one of those men who goes into the first barber that has an empty chair on his way home from work, last time he came in after his cut it looked terrible - sides were unevenly shaved and the longer hair on top had just been left bluntly cut at the edge, it was no better than a dodgy home haircut! Somewhere in the middle ground is probably most sensible.

Have a shit haircut and get your missus to do it. In 13 years of us being together the maths says I have saved enough to be in the thousands. No one cares what your hair looks like as a guy, it’s unnoticeable. We obsess about it but no one cares. So save yourself some money, shave your hair and buy a trimmer. Will save a lot of wasted money.

£0, 0€, 0$. My neighbour is is a manager of a very famous hair salon chain. So she cuts it for free. Ihave never been to a hairdresser in my life. Bless her.

£15 for hair cut (normally a fade and trim on top) and beard. I know it's quite cheap in comparison but I think most hair cuts are way overpriced these days. Prices seem to have gone up in covid and never came back down.

I pay £17 and feel it's still a bit too pricey. Plus you can't pre-book so you always end up waiting 30 mins before you are seen to. Literally why I only cut my hair every 8-12 weeks.

Gone up from 12 to 15 now in the past month for a normal scissors cut. I always tip them a bit extra though because the barber nextdoors is around 20 quid so I'm still saving money and they're very good barbers. I'm not pro tipping but I feel like 15 quid for a 20-30 minute job in a barbershop with only 2 employees isn't going to be a goldmine.

Been using the same shop most of my life (40+ years). Currently £10 (actually £8, but “keep the change”). Last time they even shaved my beard off for me at no extra cost. I don’t have a lot of hair, so it can be months between cuts, and then it’s grade 1 all over. No point in anything fancy - can’t polish a turd!

£12 for a scissor cut in a barber. I just go and say "the same but shorter" and he holds up some of my hair and goes "this much off?" and I go "yeah". And he says "square or tapered at the back?" and I say "I can't remember, whatever it was last time?" And then I give him £15 and leave with a haircut that may or may not look better or worse than it did the time before, which will have been about 4 months ago. It's not a point of pride for me to be thrifty, I'm actually usually the opposite. But I just don't "understand" anything about haircuts, like, I haven't done the homework. And I basically also don't care. I think my hair looks fine longer or shorter.

£17 for one of the best in the city (Liverpool) The barbers are really good, the shop itself is good and modern yet not as modern or aesthetic as some of these newer "vintage" hipster ultra cool barbers which I can only assume charge £25-£30 haircuts because they need to make back the money they spent on doing out the shop to a certain aesthetic. You know the type, it is half a barbers and half a bar. Has pints on draught and pool table etc

Not a lad, but my other half just takes the clippers to his hair every few weeks to cut his hair. In summer, it's probably coming off completely, so he can cool off during the hotter days. People with dark hair and working outside will know how it is. If he'd still go to the barbers, it would be £25 to £30 per cut, tip included.

Usually get my other half to cut my hair, so free - well worth it if you have a partner who does a half-decent job. I had a haircut and beard trim at the barbers yesterday for £25. The haircut alone would’ve been £20, the beard trim would have been £10 - together there was the £5 discount. He did a great job though. Used to cost around £15 about 10 years ago.
