Today, after a haircut, I walked to the cash register, handed the hairdresser a $20 bill and said, "Keep the change." He looked at me with a blank expression and replied, "The haircut costs 25 dollars." FML

Time to start cutting your own hair if you're that cheap (or poor). I paid 30 euros for a basic haircut today - that's about $40 US or Canadian.

Even if you pay that much because apparently that's the normal price where you live, it doesn't mean that it's the normal price in Canada. Maybe it's 15$ or something? I pay about 20€, max 25, and then it's more expensive for me since I'm a girl. There's no need for you to call them cheap when you clearly don't know much about the world.

It really does depend on where you live, who you go to, etc. If I decided to get a cut, wash and highlights that costs me $105. If I do just a cut, it costs me $60. My boyfriend started shaving his own head after our stylist started charging him $35 for a shave / cut. There are cheaper places around my town but the problem is you get the quality you pay for since most of these cheaper places have inexperienced fresh out of school hairdresser students. I know other towns, cities, etc can be different and that isn't always true but that's not the case here. I tried them before and I will never go back, even if the cut was only $15. My head looked like a mop. :/

Yeah this whole thing is weird to me, where I live, which is a small town, I have to pay €40, and I'm a male with short hair. That's as cheap as it goes. In a city it's like €20 and I imagine that major cities have it even cheaper. But once again, you pay for quality. As days go by I realize more and more that north america is a cheap-ass place to live.

Yeah I pay $18 for a hot shave and trim. Small town barber shop, been there for 60+ years, usually full of old men chatting.

I wouldn't pay someone $25 to cut my lawn... let alone my hair! When I was a kid a haircut cost $5. If you wanted to get a little flashier with your wig you paid $10. Inflation's a bitch!

You don't use punctuation to break up your sentences, no one of us on FML lives near you, and you say that WE'RE the dumb ones?

I'd never thought of leaving a negative tip for a shitty haircut, but that's a good idea! I once tried to leave an imaginary tip, but a waitress with no knowledge of complex numbers kneed me in the nuts. . . i, i, i!

38 - Maybe she did understand complex numbers. She took the magnitude of the real and imaginary tip expression and still saw it was zero :P

$$5 dollar haircut in the mall. In L. A. Unless you go to hairstylist with fancy lighting, mirrors, extravagant decor. Then you'll pay $30.

I recently moved from Texas to California. Haircuts have gone from $6-$12 up to $25-$30. "Normal" tips have gone from $1 up to 20% (which would now be $5-$6). My hair doesn't look any better. I feel your pain, OP.

Wow, I forgot basic haircuts could cost that much. The places I go are usually around $10 (female cut; my brother's were always $8 or so). Then again, around here the instant you want anything more then a shampoo and cut (averages $25-$30), you're looking at $60 minimum anywhere. Always a good plan to double check before they start cutting though. That many sharp objects and chemicals in one place can make for a nasty party.
