Every 6-9 months. I get it cut moderately short and grow it out to moderately long. About time for another haircut, actually. In true Hank Hill fashion I’ve been going to the same old-timey Filipino barber for about 25 years now. I’m at the point now that I worry a little between every haircut about him dieing on me.
Yeah, stylin’ I ain’t :p.
Oh, yeah - he charges $10 a cut, I think. Maybe $11 or $12 now. I usually just give him a $20 bill. It’s a lot of hair :D.
I can’t be of much help here. I haven’t gotten an all out haircut for a year and a half. I did get mine trimmed a little over a month ago. I don’t recall how much I paid, but I remember thinking it was a very good price.
It was the first time I’d gotten a trim since my last haircut by the way.
I hold out as long as I can, then after I decide I need haircut it uaually takes a couple weeks to get it done. I’d say I make the decision every 8 weeks, so I probably get it cut every 10 weeks. And I go to Great Clips or Super Cuts cause it’s cheap(er). I don’t usually like the cut, but I also don’t that I need to get it cut. Stoopid hair. And it’s falling out anyway.
I pay 26 (plus tip) and go every 4 weeks. I am stuck on “stylists” now after losing yet another “barber” that I followed from a couple places. Seems hard to find someone who really knows how to cut hair (I don’t do anything fancy, just part on the left side, taper the back, take up the sideburns). After the last place I went raised the price from 25 to 30 with no notice (until after the cut was done, of course), I had to find a new place. Tried a local babrer shop witrhin walking distance of my house, and ugh, terrible. Found a new stylist for 26 bucks, and I get good haircuts once again.
I can’t stand the way my hair feels when it’s all long and shaggy.
So it seems guys fall into two groups: the guys that go at least once a month, and there’s the guys that go once or twice a year. That’s a large difference. I wonder why. Is it the difference:
*Between ultra short (hast to get buzzed often)and midlength hair?
*Between having a pleasant barber or an unpleasant, out of the way, expensive hardresser/ or not having a regular hardresser at all?
*A nagging SO?
*Looking okay or terrible in outgrown hair?
Well, that would explain a lot about men’s attitudes towards haircuts. Would it make a difference, if everytime you got back from the hairdresser your haircut would get you compliments from your SO?
I get it cut when I feel it needs it, about 3 months on average. I get it cut down to a 3 on the sides, 5 (sometimes a 4) on the top. I usually get it cut with it feels like its too long to spike anymore. Even then I’m sometimes lazy and just comb it down for a week or so.
I really have no excuse not to do it more often, I go to the Supercuts that is two blocks from my house and get it done for $14.
He’s right. It is for sissies and if you start the sissification process right now, by the time you’re a few years into the marriage, you’re going to be married to a huge fucking pussy. You’re going to look at him, and he’s going to disgust you because he’s become such a sissy – nothing like that John Cusack in Say Anything semi-rebel modern cowboy kickboxer who doesn’t want to sell anything bought or processed that he appears to be now.
Me, I get it cut short, and then go when it gets to be a mess AND I have a meeting with clients. I get an $11 hair cut, and give her $15. I probably spend about $60 a year on haircuts. Call it less then .1% of my yearly income, and I feel like that’s too much.
Husband’shasn’t been cut since he was - um - it was before high school anyway. He’s 48 now. It’s about halfway down his back.
Well, I’m a lazy bastard - hate going to the hairdresser. For the last 10 years or so, I just shave bald every few months or so, basically when I start getting too hot. I don’t understand how basketball players have afros - I sweat like a hog with only 3/4 inch of hair…
George
He hasn’t had a hair cut in 30 years? Which one in the picture is he?
It’s usually every 2-3 months. I get it cut short and let it grow out until it starts getting to be more trouble than it’s worth.
Holy cow! Your husband is shaggy as all get out.
Who’s the guy on the left?
Everyone’s a comedian… 
I cut my own hair, and I do it every 2-3 weeks.
Back when I paid someone to cut it, I got it cut more like every 6-8 weeks.
Once a month , costs $ 20 with a five spot for a tip. Don’t need my wife to tell me
when , with a flat top you know when it’s time. Start lookin like a dang hippy 
P.S. Get off my lawn !
I’m sure this is the motivation for some. My friend Brad goes about once a month to the same hairdresser as his wife. Partly because she’s hot and dresses skimpily ( in all fairness she’s apparently good at cutting hair as well ). But also he has poofy, but not non-curly hair that mats unpleasantly into a mat-like, vaguely afro thing ( but without the visual flair of an afro ) if left too long. I’ve seen pictures and even I, who care next to nothing about men’s hair, admit it looked goofy when he had it long as a teenager.
My own hair is straight, so no such problems. I sort of slightly prefer my hair at a medium length, but in general I don’t care much as long as it is not so short that I look like a marine or so long it gets in my way ( when I hit that point, always a little pre-ponytail, it gets cut ). And frankly I kind of like the variation over the course of a year - I look somewhat different from one season to the next and don’t have to use colorful dyes to achieve that effect ;).
But laziness and a general indifference to my coiffure also plays a part as well. I’ve had girlfriends that have preferred long to short and vice versa, but none overly concerned about week to week variation. Comes from dating hippie chicks, I guess :D.
Everyday.
Well, actually I shave my head every day. About a month ago I decided it was either be bald or start with the comb-over. The hair on the sides and back of my head grow pretty fast. The contrast with the thin top front was just too much for me. Before the big shave, I would get my hair cut every three weeks and pay $25 w/tip. I look forward to having the $400+ extra a year.
Every 6 weeks.
The person that does it is a friend, and has her own business in her home. Nice set up too. As much as I don’t really like getting my hair cut, going to this person makes it a bit less of a chore (she also gives me a beer).
Otherwise, I was putting it off to long and going just about anywhere. I would never get the same person and would never know what I would get.
