    Simple enough question. I haven't paid for one in better than ten years. Just never was that important enough to me I guess. I buzz my own and my wife cleans up the details around the ears and neck. $13.00 set of clippers that has paid for themselfs a ton of times over.

    I have a neighbor that does it free of charge as long as I go to her house instead of the Salon. I usually give her a ten dollar tip though.

    I pay. If I had someone who could cut it without butchering it, I'd take that route, but I don't mind getting my haircut somewhere.

    Nope, I do it myself. It's easy, though. All one length.

    7 - 10 a week, depending on which momma san I want to see.

    Cheaper if I went to the PX, but they don't shave the sidewalls or rub yer back.

    Tip depends on the back rub...

    I pay, however the barber shop I've gone to for the last 3 years just went out of business. I've gone to 2 other places since they closed and both places butchered me.......hopefully I can find another place soon that knows what they are doing.

    My regular barber cost $10. Been going to him for years, he even came to hospital when my mom had a wreck. Good guy. The place I go to in Stillwater is $13.

    Just a buzz. Not much left to buzz anyway.

    Before that I went to a barber that charged 7 bucks and always had guns in the back room that he was selling.
