I haven’t spent $1040 on haircuts over the last 10 years of my life. ---

I think that’s too much for just about anyone. Why on earth are you getting a haircut every week? ---

It’s not nearly enough! A $20 haircut? What am I a farmer?! ---

> [@CEOofPolar](#): > > well i have to stay clean and i just hate having hair basically i was thinking about going tuesdays and fridays but i think that might be a bit much. How much hair could possibly grow in three days? At that point, it seems like the barber would just be miming a haircut. ---

> [@Antinor01](#): > > I think that’s too much for just about anyone. Why on earth are you getting a haircut every week? Well he did say he gets “a” hair cut every week. So I can see why he goes every Friday. When I go I usually get at least a couple of my hairs cut. ---

Where can we place bets? My money is on the guy with “boss\*” in his name, as opposed to prissy “CEO” who gets his hair cut ever week. EDIT: \*_And_ the word “stone”. This CEO guy doesn’t stand a chance! If you think otherwise, let’s talk money. ---

> [@CEOofPolar](#): > > yeah but i hate guys with shaved heads. I hate guys who still have hair.😉 I probably have spent less than $500 on haircuts in the last 10 years. ---

My system is to wait until my wife tells me I \*really \*need a haircut, and then put it off for another month or so. That means about 3 or 4 haircuts per year, give or take. It seems to work. ---

Couldn’t a CEO theoretically afford to pay for a live-in barber, and get haircuts every day? You’re behind the times, pops. ---

I couldn’t go a whole week without getting my hair cut. I get it done everyday before work and by the end of the day I can already feel where it’s grown out. Sometimes I cut it again, especially if I have a date that night. The only hair growth that I can tolerate is my beard and mustache. I have that trimmed every three months. ---
