$70 for a haircut and beard trim is ridiculously ridiculous.

Does it have to be in the loop? I go to Peter's Dominican Barber Shop in between Wilcrest and Kirkwood along the Katy Freeway. He charges $35 for a haircut. I get it really short on the sides so it's mostly clippers but some scissors on the top. He's grown a lot over the last few years...has about 10 - 12 barbers in there, I think.

 

Ya... the good ones have upped their prices.

Been going to my barber since mid 2017. i ain't gonna change now...so i pay the price.

of course i don't tip. because he owns the place.

 

I don't think so. That 401 number you see as their phone number is Peter's cell, though. If you text you can set up an appointment that way. That's what I do.

I hope you're not Irish, because I don't want to lose the joke that I'm the only Irish American who gets his haircut at his Dominican barber shop. He's a super nice guy, by the way.

 

You're all ****ing crazy for paying $70 or $35. Grab an Oster Classic 76 trimmer and some guards, use YouTube and you'll be your own barber in no time. Divide that $200 in equipment out over 10 years of hair cuts. Don't forget to count how much time you save.

And time is the crux of it for me. Driving to a barber shop, waiting, getting the cut, driving home, it's all a cost - the dollar and time amount (which is probably 1 hour minimum if you're in first) I'd rather do it myself, in my house. Takes 15 minutes, clean up, shower, shave, done.

Where does Hardon trim his beard......

 

I discovered Trends barber college about 10 years ago.. Haven't set foot in a barber shop since... And that was when it was $25 ..

 

Get that southside fade at hair by tony for 8 bucks, my guy

 

That’s just bad time management.

It’s weird that barber shops take appointments now. The last barber shop I had in Galveston was walk-ins only, and it was packed any time after 3 and 11-3 was a crap shot during the week.

 

$25 cut
$15 beard
$10 tip

About 4 times a year

 

I do Sport Clips only because of the online check in. I found a girl (Karen) who does my hair perfect, so I always request her.

There's a local barbershop here in Kingwood that's great, and I always try to support small local business...but they don't take appointments, don't have a sign in sheet and only accept cash.

It's really annoying when small businesses make it so hard to support them - even when you want to.

 

Y'all need some Asian friends that can tell y'all where to go for $12/haircut. I'm sure there are a few on this bbs. In and out on slow hours. No appointment needed.

 

You can go to OK barbershop , its on west belfort near the loop. Plus you can talk shop with the old rascist asian lady

 

Free for me. Shave my had 1x a week and trim my own beard. Just don't trust anyone to get my beard right. Been screwed up too many times.

 

I been going once a month $72 (includes tip) and I'm in Pearland area now lol. I do a taper fade with clipping my top hair and getting my beard done as well. I guess is not that bad.
