No wonder hairdressers can afford Boxsters!

I go to a real barber who charges only $8 for a cut. He even uses hot foam and a straightrazor to shave the back of my neck plus he trims my ear and eyebrow "antennae". For the cut and his girlie magazines, I give him a $2 tip.

My wife pays $100 for a cut and highlights (a two hour ordeal) , not including tip! Holy smokes, what a racket! I thought that she was getting ripped until her friend confesses she pays almost $170 for the same service w/o tip. The whole process may take two hours but the hairdresser isn't with them the whole time. Most of it is spent under that hairdryer thing so the stylist can work on multiple heads at a time.

No wonder hairdressers can afford Boxsters! No offense Boxster owners, I want one too.

Don't forget that guy who never cuts his hair and wears a cowboy hat, Jose something. He charges $500

Let's see 8 haircuts a day (cause he's really making sure they are done well) x 4 days a week = $16K/wk! He's doing so much for the world by cutting that hair just right

We pay less because most men don't care what our hair looks like. I really don't care if they use a weed whacker if they do it fast. I had an old blind italian barber in Brooklyn who spoke no english. Five minutes, tops. That man was busy.

i used to go to a fufu salon, just because my friend was part owner. she would cut my pathetic head of hair for $20. she wouldnt accept any tip whatsoever. but i did have to slip her the money. i come to find out, that she charged men +75$$$$. and she didnt want to explain to her clients my discount. her shop is in the laurel height district, and she makes a damn good living. i loved that lady. nothing like letting a lesbian play with my head. the joking around would embarass me. they were ruthless. parking problems make me go elsewhere now, but i stil pay the same $20.

Big name hair stylists can easily make 7 figures in a market like L.A. or N.Y. if they have their own salon.

I've been cutting my own hair for ~10 years, cost=zero, the back is tough but I do the front pretty well.

When I lived in the Bay Area, I had a cute little haircutter with short arms and a huge... chest. I got a haircut and massage all at once. I left big tips.

I know the feeling. I go to Fantastic Sams and everytime I leave there, I wish I went somewhere else. I went to a barber for the first 22 years of my life and the past 3 between Fantastic Sams and Supercuts and wish I could find another barber that was closer, that I could trust and does a quality haircut.

What a bunch of homos . . . I use clippers I bought at a drug store ten years ago for 15 bucks. I couldn't care less what my hair looks like (and it shows).

Hey Chris - Here's the place to go.
http://www.hawleywoods.com/
http://layrite.com/aboutus.asp

"Remember waaaay back when in the good ol' days when you could go down to the local barber shop, get a straight razor shave, a nice tight haircut and enjoy the relaxed and comfortable atmos_phere of a real men's sanctuary? Well guess what? It's back and it's called Donnie Hawleywood's Traditional Barber shop!

Located in an antique of a building in Costa Mesa, Calif., Hawleywood's feels like stepping into a time warp back to '40's Chicago. From the 0L' style two- tone brown floor to the sand colored walls heavily decorated with photos of friends and clients with names like James Intveld, Eddie Nichols of Royal Crown Revue, Big Sandy and Lee Rocker to name a few. Let's not forget motorcycle hero Chopper Dave!

Upon entering this men's sanctuary you'll see customers relaxing in vintage waiting chairs and sippin' ice cold Pabst Blue Ribbon straight from the tap, all the while cruisin' through another great issue of The Horse BackStreet Choppers and listening to some great music on the Hi-Fi. One thing you won't see at Hawleywood's is women. You all know how distracting a woman can be and who wants a straight razor shave with a buxom blonde in the joint? So leave yer' 0L' lady at home because you might need to talk about her. And besides, no one ever looks cool in the middle of a hair cut.

Donnie has been mastering this vanishing trade for more than ten years, but has been cutting hair for friends and relatives forever. Open just over four years ago, Hawleywood's attracts people from all walks of life from tattooed greasers to businessmen and everyone in between. No quick haircuts here brother, each cut lasts at least 45 minutes and you get all the bells and whistles.

Ater the hot face towel and a precise straight razor shave of your neck and face you'll get the most perfect taper you've ever seen, and Donnie will style you up with his own brand of pomade called "Layrite." This is the best pomade ever, it holds like wax and washes out like gel! Amazing! Next comes the old style barbershop neck massage machine that will knock your socks off! Be sure and pick up Donnie's after-shave called Hawleywood's #9. Smell like you just left the barber's chair whenever you want."

For others around the nation: http://slickville.com/sections/barbershop/barbershop_menu.html

homo?

picture this; salon full of hot lipstick lesbians. rubbing your head more than necessary. (they say i have a curiously soft skinned head) talking about fights and sex stuff w/about their partners. i admit there is one gay guy, but everyone ignores the poor guy. it really is alot of fun. for lesbians, i am really surprised with their curiosity of penises. just doesnt make sense. i think i may call and make an appointment, just to touch bases with my friend. of course i could cut my own hair, but why?

My Grandfather used to tell me " The only difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut is 2 weeks." Usually said after he screwed up cutting my hair.

Poor Vash, just doesn't quite get it yet.

The 'lipstick lesbians' are drag queens; the one 'gay guy' is a 300lb bull dyke.

But hey, "if it gives you wood, it's all good"

Hey Vash,

"Touch bases with my friend"? What the heck does that mean?

If he and his friend want to each others' bases, that between those guys!

What they do with each others' bases is no one's business but their own!
