This. I have two kids. One needs a cut every two weeks, one every 6 months. |
We pay $25 |
$60, same as his dad, every 5 weeks for both. |
The Barber Shop we use in Bethesda is Trans Barber Shop. It’s $25 and parking right next to it in the garage. Quick and they all do a solid job. |
DH and DS go to a barber in Bethesda that is $20, cash only. |
DS and DH are about $60 each. By the time you include shampoo and tips, I budget $100 each. |
Which place is this? |
It depends on the hair. One DS has straight, thin hair, so $20 at the barber. One has incredibly thick curls, so $55 at a salon. |
Shampoo and tips bump it up an additional $40?? Wtf? |
I pay $35 for a good hairdresser for my son's short hair. We tried the cheap barber shops, but his hair is extremely curly and we needed someone more skilled. I think the $35 is actually a steal - I pay a lot more than that to get my own hair done there. |
Most places don't wash guy's hair before cutting it. $100 for a guy is crazy. |
+1 yes it sure is. Particularly because we need to go about once a month. |
I pay $15 (plus $5 tip) at a shop in Eden Center. |
My teen son cuts his own hair and does his friends’ for free. He charges acquaintances $15. I would never be able to clip my own hair in the back, but he has very long arms, is flexible, and has a double mirror set-up. Very impressive other than the cleanup. We make him do it outdoors. |
My kid has loads of very fine curls that he keeps longer and poofier than a typical “boy cut”. I’ve been paying 120 (including tip) around every 8 weeks or so to a hipster “curl specialist” stylist that gives cuts my kid feels great about.
Before this, it was around 70 (with tip) for a boring cut he never felt good about. |
