Cheap Haircut Roundup

Today I’m headed off to get my $6.99 haircut. The place I go to is normally $15, plus I tip two or three dollars (which I guess is the norm) but today they are running this special. So, I guess today’s cut with tip will cost me $10. Not bad. How much do you spend on getting your haircut? How often? And how much do you normally tip?

Carnivals that I participated in this week: (Thanks to the hosts!)

Fesitval of Frugality #110 – Simple Categories Edition - Mrs. Micah
Carnival of Money Stories #44 – The Circus Edition - Being Frugal
Carnival of Personal Finance #137 - The Passion Edition - The Dividend Guy
A Real Estate and Finance Blog Carnival - Real Estate Money Matters

A couple of interesting articles I read this week:

GlblGuy at Gather Little By Little shares this post titled, “Could be good, could be bad“. Weekend reading at it’s best. A very inspirational post.
Patrick at Cash Money Life gives you the IRA lowdown in “There is Still Time to Fund Your 2007 IRA“. We’re thinking about contributing before April 15th.
Lastly, Green Panda Treehouse presents “Guitar Hero III: Saving Money has Its Perks“. I love this game and will be buying it or Rock Band next month.

Have a great weekend!

I used to do SportsClips as well. They would have the coupons on their ads in Minute Maid Park for half off, so if I used those I would usually get my haircut with the shampoo for about $10. Unfortunately I haven't seen any of these coupons for a while, so I stopped going there.

When I don't have SportClips coupons, I will go to TGF on Tuesdays for their $10 special. Either way, I usually tip $5 unless the stylist is particularly annoying or unpleasant.

@ ERE - I wish I could do the cut at home thing. Just doesn't work for my hair type. Thanks for sharing.

@ Patrick - That's a nice perk. I bet you get to show at the commissary too?

@Glblguy - I used to do sports clips too. they have the shoulder massage as well, right? very nice. can't beat watching tv during the cut.

Thats for including my article and for the kind comments. I get mine cut once a month. I use Sports Clips but always use one or more coupons to keep the cost down. I LOVE their hot towel treatment.

I usually tip about 20%, depends on who's cutting it and how well they did.
