I haven't paid that little for a haircut since... well, since just about exactly five years ago, which was the last time I had it cut. (This was at a regular barber who was in walking distance because we didn't have wheels at the time. It was not a good cut.)

The next time I have it done, I'm going to a full-service, one-person salon a few miles up the road. She charges $125, but that's for the full treatment, including scalp massage. My hair's worth it.
