I have never had a haircut in my life. The only time I had short hair was when I wa a baby and my hair was first growing in. When I was younger, my mother used to trim my hair a little, and I trim it myself a little sometimes, but I’ve never had a professional haircut. I’m not a SDMB professional, but you may want to have this moved to IMHO. ---

This sounds like a survey and not a GQ… but I’ll add that I get my hair cut once every 2 weeks or so, and that works for me. YMMV ---

Two or three times a year. Can’t go in to hairdressers emporioums but my daughter is an hairdresser and she does it - when I see her (she lives a fair distance away) ---

Every Three weeks I shave my head. I’m fairly bald so the shorter the hair the better I look. Back in my full hair days I never had any haircut closer than two weeks apart and some as far as 2 months apart. But I used to get short cut styles that I would grow out and trim myself. I guess I could afford weekly haircuts but my time and money priorities weren’t focused on that. ---

Once per week? I think hair only grows about two or three mm per week… I used to go every six or eight weeks. Now it’s more frequently, perhaps every for or five weeks, mainly because I like the ear canal cleaning that goes with it. ---

> [@Patty\_O\_Furniture](#): > > Once per week? I think hair only grows about two or three mm per week… I would say that someone’s punking us but I had a friend in middle school who went about that often because he liked his hair juuuust this side of a buzz cut and the minute the hairs started to droop from weight, it was off to the barber to get them shaved into submission. Me, I go when my sideburns have re-established residence on my face. ---

Every few months. I generally get it cut short and then use hair clippers to keep the hair around my ears and down my neck cleaned up. ---

Every 4 weeks…though, for that last week, it’s really borderline on being too long. I’ve considered going to an every-three-week schedule. ---

I got a haircut about 5 years ago. Before that I was keeping my hair short and would get one monthly. My hair grows out in all sorts of directions so it’s either grow it long or get fairly frequent cuts. ---

I go once a week. I don’t spend $20, though. More like $12 including tip. ---
