It's not needing to go for haircuts where the real money savings are.
I bought a wireless hair clipper in February of 2020 for $50 on Amazon. Every few weeks I go out in my back yard and buzz it all off in about 5 minutes. I'm definately happy.
I'm using my electric shaver to trim my own hair (it came with a facial hair trimmer, and I may have stretched the boundaries of my face slightly)
This is the way.
$20 clippers from the mart of walls. Buzz it all down to an even fuzz every two weeks.
No shit, I need to get in on the shaved head deal. The guy who's been cutting my hair since I was a teenager now charges $80 for a haircut and beard trim. Like man, I'm blue collar, I can't afford that shit!
Bro what? Just go somewhere cheaper. They're like $20 normally
$80?! Even places being premium seem to be about $50 from my experience. I guess I haven't been to one of those in a few years, so inflation may have bumped it up.
