Would you pay extra a hair cut just because the stylist is extremely hot?

Would you pay a premium price for a hair cut just because the stylist is extremely hot? I’ve been going to this stylist for the last six months. She does a pretty good job on my hair but after the tip it’s costing me $35 a cut. In my opinion a guys basic cut should be around $25 with tip. On the one hand I think I’m paying too much but on the other hand I feel life is too short and I should just enjoy my premium priced hair cut by my foxy stylist.

When my hair was short, I paid my barber $15

when my hair grew, and I went to my mom's stylist
Came out to $60 with tip

the guy was great
the girl who washed my hair and gave me a head massage was cute too

$60 is a lot.. i know, but when I had to go to the barber once a month.. meaning $15x3=$5
versus ever 3-4 months, it evened out, or ended up costing less. plus, I got a massage and shampoo too lol

so I don't know if you can say if it's worth the extra $ for the stylist being hot
as long as they're good
my gf pays about $50-60 for hers, but she only goes like twice a year...

do you also get a shoulder massage? for these little perks i think it's worth it.. cause to me, I'm not paying more $... :P

I can careless what the person cutting my hair looks like as long as the cut looks good and she/he doesn't gap my hair.

Fuck that. $12-13 + $2 tip at a barber shop. It's a haircut, not a body massage.

Where I live the only place to get a hair cut for $15 or less is SuperCuts. You never get the same person and it's a crap shoot if they do it right. If you ask them to not use the sheers and cut it all with the scissors only, they give you a worried look like they don't know how to do it but they’ll try anyway. I also like the whole experience of having my hair cut and enjoy talking with the stylists. At SuperCuts half the time they don't speak great English or just act retarted.

$40 tipped twice a month for me! my hair grows like it is on roids and to find someone who can cut my texture with scissors only, i think it is worth it!

If the cut is good, I tip well....doesn't matter if she's hot or not.

Lol @ guys who think they can fling money around and drive "hot cars" to pick up girls. Most girls that I know, don't even care.

The ones that do, are either still in HS....or looking for the next "sugar daddy"

No thanks.

$60 on a decent quality Wahl buzzer
2+ years of weekly buzzes

I used to spend $25 every two weeks on a stylist but F-it, I like the buzzed look and its hella cheaper.

Seriously....

$35 for a guy's haircut??? Insanity...

$10-15 max.

My favorite barbershop in Atlanta, aka Tommys is I think $12-14, and that's the best in town.

No thanks.
Agreed. No awesome chick is gonna give a shit about your car. If anything that can either mean that you have a good job, and would be supportive, or that your priorities are way out of whack and you would be a shitty boyfriend.

I hate gold diggers... Ehh!

i get a basic men's cut, but i spend about $50 to get it. the cut itself is $30, but i always tip her $20 because she's also a friend. she does a shoulder massage and straight razor finish too.

aren't shears and scissors the same thing? i was fortunate enough to find a specific hair stylist at supercuts. had to get messed up by almost every stylist in that location before i got to her.

You can either go to a barber for $12-17 or you can go to a stylist for $35-50.

I've been shaving my own head for 8 years and in the last 6 months had hair and getting cuts. Costs me $40 a cut at a stylist who adds good texture and layers with scissors alone.. worth it imo even though I go every 4-5 weeks.

I hate when it 'looks' like you just got a hair cut and I find the cheaper places are good at that

I use to go to the barber when I was in high school/college. A shave was like $7. Now I go to a stylist that costs $40-$45.
