(37,648 posts)I was unemployed earlier this year, so changed from $75 per haircut to someone recommended to me at Supercuts for about $15 (plus I tip $10). He does as good a job as the $75 guy, only w/o the haughty 'tude. So even tho I found a job, I've stayed with the Supercuts guy. It's very hard to find someone who can cut somewhat thick straight hair. It's called precision cutting and is very difficult. Wavy hair hides mistakes.
I HATE going to the beauty shop. I hate looking in the mirror when I look like a drowned rat, having to make small talk or wondering if should make small talk. I never get professional manicures. And I color my hair myself at home with Clairol (I use only 2 tablespoons at a time...doing the roots, then later dragging the rest through the rest of my hair). It costs me less than $10 about every 3 months. And I can do it at 10 at night, if I feel like it!
My hair grows fast, too. Which is how my hair always ends up longer than I planned.
