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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got a haircut, and after thanking the stylist I went up front to pay. The lady behind the counter took one look at me, smiled, and said, "Well, now you'll need a hat." FML
Today, I went to a different hairdresser than usual to get 5 inches off my hair and bangs. He ended up charging me half price, saying, "Don't worry, we all make mistakes." FML
Today, I paid $50 for a haircut. Halfway through, I realized the hairdresser was drunk. FML
Today, I went to go get a haircut and I asked how much it was for a haircut, shampoo, and a blow job. I meant to say blow dry. FML
Today, I went to the hairdresser on a spur of the moment decision to get a quick wash and cut. Forty-five painful minutes and $180 later, I honestly don't know if anything was actually done to my hair. FML
Today, I went to my hair dresser to get my haircut. When she asked me what I wanted, I told her "the usual". She confused me with another customer and gave me a mullet. FML
Today, I went to get a haircut. The hairdresser at the counter was kind of cute, so I had to say something non-standard. When she greeted me with her hello, I replied, "Guess what I need from you today?" She looked at me, considered, and replied, "An eyebrow wax?" FML
Today, my 19-year-old daughter got a haircut. When I asked her if she tipped the hairdresser, she looked at me in horror and asked, "You’re supposed to tip hairdressers?" FML
Today, I was working at Tim Hortons. A lady was in line, and she couldnt make up her mind. 20 minutes later she finally decided to get something, and she reached in her pocket. I was hoping it was a tip, but she gave me a coupon for a haircut. FML
Today, a lady handed me a $10 tip on a $45 bill. I was happy with it, since it was more than 20%, until she came back in and said, "I'm sorry I gave you the wrong amount." I handed it back to her and then she gave me a dollar. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Guys' haircuts are usually a lot different than girls'. It's one thing if you want to get your hair 'styled' (I used to have a guy I worked with do that for me, and paid around thirty bucks - and that was eight years ago, plus the 'you're my friend, and I'm doing this in my kitchen' discount). But these days, I get a haircut every two or three months, and pretty much all I want is: make it shorter. I was shocked when I moved to Portland and Greatclips was $16. That said - One, it sounds like you went to a slightly fancier place, because I don't believe there's a Greatclips or Supercuts in the country that charges $25 for a basic haircut. And two, regardless of anything else, it's kinda dumb to sit down before you know how much it costs.

This happened to me too when I was 11 years old. The barber didn't miss the chance to humiliate me :)

This is why you go to a "barber" and not a "hairdresser". Silly.

I've had the same beautician since I was 5, and she still charges me $90 for a trim and highlights. I will say this, though: she knows my hair better than I do.

I'm a girl, I just got my hair cut on Saturday, it was $20 after a $5 tip. Great Clips ftw.

Where the hell do you get your hair cut? I thought men's hair it's were like $5.

$25 for a haircut?! They need to cut prices before cutting hair. Either that or Vidal Sassoon better be in their cutting hair.
