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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
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
Bad choice
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
Assumptions
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

It's like that saying--"sometimes it's the thought that counts." :)

Should've gone somewhere cheaper and you could've gotten away with it.

Change? what change?
erockinthesuburb 17
Obama's change.

I'd rather not keep that change, 53.

Why exactly is this getting negative votes?
doodlecloud 27
I'd say either because the 'wpw' and 'now a days' or because $25 really isn't that expensive. Or both.

A haircut at Supercuts only costs $14
Michael_92 20
Hate to say it but 20 is pretty cheap. Depending on how I'm feeling I usually spend the 20 on the cut and if they style it good I will tip them 10-20. Every time I go back they do a excellent job.
SparklyCuntt 12
74 is correct on that. At Chatters and most places where I live, it's around 45$ to 50$ for a hair cut depending on the length and thickness of your hair.
stolencookie 17
Dang 80, where do you live?! Where I live, color/highlights and the like are usually $80-150 and cuts are usually $25-45, all before tip. And that's not even the super fancy stuff! :(
shitsville 13
When you say "topless stylists" do you mean that the female employees aren't wearing anything on top?! SWEET!
chimcharx3 15
I've been to a salon where it was $80 for a hair cut. $25 isn't bad
Codezlol 21
Yes they are expensive. Which is why I bought a buzzer for 20 dollars and bam, haircuts for free!
jenniferunicorn 5
my moms salon has cuts for males from $6-$8 and females $10-$15. dying, highlights, and perms are $25-$50 only straight perms cost around $100. $25 is pretty steep
babeababe 16
I honestly think it depends on where you live and the cost of living in each state as to how much haircuts should cost. I work in a high end salon and charge $35 for a mens haircut and $45 for women's. And other people I work with charge even more. But you definitely get what you pay for. We do an excellent job. I don't get paid hourly. I get paid commission on what I do. I don't know how anyone could live off of only being paid minimum wage or lower. Hairstylists usually don't get benefits, or paid holidays, or holidays off. And normally have to work weekends. I think we deserve to be paid well to stand on our feet all day and work weekends. And I love my job. I don't think hairstylists get nearly enough credit for the work we do. But I guess everyone is different. I go above and beyond to make my clients happy, so that is why I'm able to charge that much and people are happy to pay it.

I didn't say it was the cheapest ever. My local is cheaper than that. However, as people have said, a lot of other places charge a lot more so, in the grander scheme of things, $25 is not expensive. With cuts ranging from $5 to probably $100 you simply can't sat that $25 is expensive just because it's not completely at the bottom. That's not how numbers work.

A haircut at Supercuts: $14. The misery of living with the f'ed up haircut: Priceless.

123, I just got a haircut at Walmart (first time there) they did an awesome job and it was $11.50 :p and I've had people who forcefully move your head and charge almost 20 bucks. But Walmart lady was nice, good small talk and did a good job :p
AurumPotestasEst 16
They do a good job with my hair...
crapmaster3000 19
But they do a really shitty job,73, the last time I got a haircut there I had a huge chunk of my hair that was at least an inch longer than the rest of my hair
lil_ham1644 29
I go to grondin's & if I'm just getting a trim it's around $15. If I want it cut & styled, it's around $18-$20
olpally 33
Well, shit. Sucks you have to pay an extra $5 but still tip them anyways :) they sound nice.
MidnaLink 35
Dude, for $25… that is the tip!
Sir_ND_Pity 35
Here's a tip: try not to go to places that charge $25 for haircuts ;)
Ambient25 25
Those "pricey" places typically cut very well. There's a reason the military charges $8 a haircut...
CharresBarkrey 16
Well now I feel duped. I pay roughly $60 for mine, with tip.
olpally 33
Yeah, you guys are right... I have to pay $28 for my haircut... Ridiculous. Lol. Never mind op, don't tip!
DustyStorm 16
I used to pay about $25 for my haircut maybe 15 years ago. I can't imagine prices going DOWN in that time.... I don't know of any places that charge so little that $20 would cover the cut and the tip.
laden_swallow09 35
You can find a cosmetology school near you that does hair. The appointment will take longer than a paid professional, but it's much, much cheaper than a salon.
tymarie2012 31
@59 Cosmetology schools, depending on where you go, $20 will cover both the hair cut charge and the tip. The school I go to, it only costs $9.10 for a regular hair cut.
Panchovilla64 6
Over here they cost 10 to 15 max do yall live in Los Angeles or what?
j_729 18
@96 I live by LA and its 20 plus tip
DustyStorm 16
I live in Idaho where everything is cheaper usually. The schools? Ya get what ya pay for....I've seen painfully awful cuts come out of there...I'd rather risk my own lack of shear skill, lol
Busybeth98 16
I live in Idaho as well (but in a teeny tiny town), and haircuts are still expensive. It's better for me to go out and buy hair cutting scissors and thinning shears and just cut it myself. Although I know that isn't for everybody, it sure works for me.
Horsempeg 25
As a hair stylist, I do think $25 is too much for a cut. They should have told you how much it was, but always tip your stylist :)
jairolover 25
are you a female? because that's what we pay SMH.

TheDrifter 24
I'll bet he had his hopes way up, thinking you were giving him a $15 tip until he realized there was only one bill in your hand.
SammyS2012 21
1) He was the cashier, so he wouldnt really get a $15 tip. 2) It could have been $30, not $40
queerdragon 20
All the places I go to get my hair cut do not have people who just serve as cashiers. All the hairdressers can use the cash themselves.
itssnotfunny 24
30 - 25 is 5, not 15.
AnthonyWheeler15 24
Double check next time OP! Smooth move though!
shinshoku13 19
Not the sharpest scissors in the salon, are you?
imagineapc 11
Since when has a hair cut NOT cost at least $25?
tegraturbo2000 15
in fl u can get a cut edge and facial trim for 10 dolars
MaryJane75 7
It depends if you're a guy or a girl. Girl haircuts usually cost more than guys.
thrAsHeRr9081 16
Mine only cost $15 and my hair is down to my butt!
MaryJane75 7
Cost also depends on if it is a "cut and style" or just a trim.
SWC_Penguin 17
I pay $16 for mine. (And actually DO get to give a 20 and say 'keep the change.')
ShakeDisPlace 10
If you go to great clips they only charge 14$ , but they always try to talk you into buying all kinds of hair products.
AmyPond17 33
My sister pays around $5 for a haircut, and gets a great haircut too.
tymarie2012 31
If you happen to live near a cosmetology school its generally cheaper than $20.
UO88 10
I go to Great Clips and use a coupon from the back of a grocery store receipt for $7.99.
krapula 4
I've never seen a guys haircut cost more than $20.
mikuxxhatsune 32
Mine is $25, pretty average for a female. My dad? $8.
