You can tell a Sport Clips guy from a good haircut guy. It matters, like good shoes and a nice watch.

you can surely tell the difference in quality of a cut, but price doesnt always follow. I would stack my $20-$25 haircut (non-sport clips) against your $45 and no one would be the wiser. I dont pay for all the shamp, treatment, etc. if you truly have good "lettuce," it takes less work (to look good). Been going to the same person for a few years now, and my only regret was the brad pitt (from fury) cut i was talked into once. wife and most others loved it, but i felt a little tool-ish. the cut has since been played out by everyone, even more than it was at the time i had it. went back to, and stayed with, the OG ever since.

btw, i used to pay around $45 before, until i received a cut from the person i currently go to now. needed a cut in a pinch and was referred over. i would also never be spotted in a sport clips, knockouts, etc. feel they charge too much for the quality they provide.

oh, and i tip $10.

I've got killer lettuce, and I enjoy the shampoo, head/neck massage, and post-cut rinse. I have no problem paying for it.

I get a haircut every six weeks. Let's call that 9 times a year. $405 a year, $80 in regular tips, and $50 for a Christmas tip comes out to a grand total of $535 American dollars. Not a ridiculous amount of money to make sure I look my best.

Every six weeks? You must have long lettuce where your neck is not exposed.

And when did hair become known as "lettuce"...that's new for me too.

Also, I agree that the sports clip cut is for the dude that uses a guard on 75% of his lettuce. The girls there are all straight out of beautician school as well....even if you are a simple cut, you are taking a risk by going there.

If you want a decent cut you need to go where the more experienced girls are working, which means a more expensive lettuce cut....which in my mind is about $20 to $25. Anything over that and it's a diminishing return. The girl worth over $25 a cut should be working on ladies lettuce exclusively.

Your from Atlanta right....do you go to Van Michael s?? I will say that they have no problems getting you drunk while you're there if you want....could make it worth $45 then.

No, I go to a place in Inman Park. Free booze, hot haircutter, and I leave looking good. She also cuts my kid's hair for free, even though it's not a very kid-friendly place.

And after you've done it a few times you won't even need the mirror!

Have probably saved thousands over the years.

They are...they are just too kind to say anything.

Eh, either way, doesn't bother me. Not trying to impress anyone.

Do you spend $40-50 on a haircut?

Generally, yes, if not more (depending if it's at a spa or just a barber)...but I'm paid to have 12 people stare at me all day

You can tell a Sport Clips guy from a good haircut guy. It matters, like good shoes and a nice watch.

I pay $40 and tip $10. I thought I was going to be alone in the LR.

Just like tailoring clothes, people notice, and more importantly, you yourself notice.

I guess I'm the polar opposite. I have a good pair of clippers and I shave my hair down to the stubble every few weeks. I think I look pretty good without hair - I have a nicely shaped head - so it doesn't look weird and all bumpy.

I've got no problem with anyone paying what they feel it's worth to get a good haircut though - you pay for what you feel you're getting a good value/return on.

This also ties in with Fiji's other post asking about new glasses.

This is always the very disappointing point where I look at RRR's posts and shake my head in disbelief, rather than in agreement...like I usually do otherwise.

I guess everybody has their thing though.
