A real barber at a real barbershop with deer heads hanging all over the walls and hunting and gun magazines to read while you wait.

We have one of those here in town as well, operated by a lady, plus sports or men's stuff on the TV. But flip a coin as to whether you want to go in on a given day. Depends on how talented the current staff happens to be.

Old thread I know,
I have been using clippers and cutting my own for 15+ years,
Still got a decent head of hair though.
I have decided to start letting it get a little longer (can only get it about 3/4 on top with the clippers and guard but want it 1.25+) on top and part it down the middle, Called it "wings" when I was a kid.
Anyway been going to a barber shop the last 2 times.

My Gosh its high.
Mid January it was 24.00 for a cut, today was 26.00. I guess he went up because he did some painting.
Anyway, for those that still use a barbershop, what do yall pay?
This is Snellville Ga.

Middle Ga is $12 to $14.

A friend of ours was beautician and cut my hair for 30 years. She retired, she didn't have any tats or nose bobs. I sure do miss her. Price was $10 the whole time.

I’ve got 2 barbershops in Albany ga,and one in Abbeville Al that I go to. They are all between 15$-18$. Main thing for me is they have to take walk ins and can use a straight razor on my neck.

$25 in the 30341, not far from you but I've been going to him for decades and he's almost like family. I told him he can't retire until I die.

In my earlier years, I got mine cut at a fancy-smancy place called "Erik of London's" in Doraville next to the old Zayre's store. (Zayre's, for those unfamiliar, was Georgia's answer to Walmart, before we got Walmarts here.)

These days it's great clips every 3 months whether it needs cutting or not, $18 plus $5 tip.

My wife calls it a drive-by haircut.

I shave my head, I used to skimp on the clippers and buy the $30 clippers and when they went bad, about every 6 months, I would buy another one. I eventually bought some clippers that cost more money, about $80. going on almost 2 years and they are still going good.
