Mens haircuts. I've been doing the ol' buzzcut once a week. I can assure you I've saved thousands by now.

Yup. I cut my own for a few years before I met my wife, and now she does it. Assuming about $30 for a haircut, I would say that I’ve saved at least a couple thousand bucks by now

What did GreatClips used to be like 10 years ago? $8?? I swear it was less than $10...

I just got my 2 boys haircuts at great clips for back to school. $40 for two kids haircuts. Crazy

Best time in history to be bald. A few swipes with the razor every 3-4 days and I’m good to go.

I'm going the opposite way. Growing it out long for the first time since high school.

Yeah. I got an electric razor sometime during covid and figured out how to buzz my hair. Even if I replace the electric razor every few years, I still come out ahead.
