Had my haircut today, the place I normally go was full and I really wanted to get it cut as soon as possible, meaning I had to go to a nearby salon type place.
Cutting my hair is fairly simple, it doesn't even require scissors. I have a number 4 on top and a 3 around the back and sides. Easy, yes? Normally I pay £3.50 for this, which some may say is a bit expensive but today I almost had a heart attack after hearing the price.
Rip-off merchant: "That'll be £9, please."
Me: "£9!!!!"
Rip-off merchant: "Yeah, £9. Oh no, wait, you're under 18 so it's less."
Me: *sigh of relief*
Rip-off merchant: "It's actually £8."
Me: *shocked again, but pay anyway*
I only had £8 on me, it was unbelievable. It wasn't even a particuarly good cut, I think it was somebody on work experience that did it. Bah.

Surely it'd be easier to buy some clippers and do it yourself?
I don't trust myself. I know I'd end up without an ear or two.
Yep, I bought a set of clippers for £25 about a year ago. I don't always cut my hair short, but when I do, it costs me sod all.
I reckon I've saved loads of money doing it myself.

I always do it myself with clippers.
Just take it all off. simple.

I just get my mum to do it. Its free and she gets to live out her childhood dream of being a hairdresser. Shame she hates hair now though!

My barber cut my ear. Still, £6 is a bargain in london, even if they are slightly dodgey greeks who leave me with a quif

£3.50 is cheap compared to where I live, £5.50 for a cut similiar to yours.

Haircuts cost me £0 because I don't get them.
