"I was ripped off"

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.

Nah, not that big really, they tend to trim it a bit anyway. I just quiff it up, aint that long though really.

Do you have a massive fringe?

1 back and sides and then a trim on top and leave the fringe £5.10

I was working full time last Easter but really needed a haircut so headed down on a Sunday.

The only place open was a salon... I went in. had the worst haircut ever and then they charged me £20... I was in shock for days.

Don't you just hate 'fashionable males' who go to these hair salons (yes, salons) and pay through the roof for their clip, gel and spike jobs.

Then the next day they rendevouz with their fashionable male friends and compare what scarf and golf jumper goes with their 'new, original' style.

...

I have 4 on top 3 on the sides for £10.50 and it's the cheapest one around here. :(

A friend and I casually walked into a hairdresser's at Canary Wharf place, asked how much a standard cut was, and casually walked out when they told us £35.

I know a fat old man called Keith. He's also bald, has no teeth, and can often ben seen riding a bike. How he stays on it, nobody knows.

I get a 4 all over every so often, and the place I used to go was £5 but, somehow, they weren't very proficient with the clippers. I always ended up with random strands of hair that were longer than the rest of it, so they stuck out and I had to yank them out myself.

Then that place closed down and I go to Keith's. Keith is a fat old man who is literally covered in other people's hair, but he gives a bloody good haircut for £8 standard.

I get a 5 and 3 now and usually costs me about £5.

I might grow it though then get it styled at a proper girly place.
