I didn't know bike shops did haircuts.

:lol: Shaving head with aero spokes?

Sorry, you prob want to specify what type of hair style you're interested in. For me (Asian), I normally wouldn't go to western haircut places because the style will look weird on me. Unfortunately, I don't really know of good $15 haircut places either way. :p

what asian places do you got to?

I can't really help you out because I don't know of any places downtown. The one I go to is rather expensive; Moga at 163 & Balboa (Japanese, beside Mizuwa supermarket).

Hopefully others that live in downtown SD can help you out.

My wife is a cosmetologist but I usually shave my own head. Go figure.

haircut - what is that... :lol:

I think there's a Paul Mitchell school down there...I think those places are cheap if you're willing to be a guinea pig.

The initial outlay is more than double your $15 budget...but you don't have to spend a dime as long as it holds up.

Set it to the lowest setting, use it on your head, on your face....and wherever else. Save big $$$ on haircuts and shaving products. My avatar picture tells it all.....

I cut my own hair. And I am lazy, so really, anyone can do it.
Oh, I guess you can't really care what you look like,,,,but once you get past that, then clip away!!

How about this?

How about a place near Costa Mesa in OC? I got my hair cut at this one place and I showed the lady a picture of what I wanted and she didn't do ANYTHING right... I was so pissed off I just payed and left... almost walked next door to Target to get some more razors to "Bic" my head... but thought about the repercussions from work... So.. I sit here with a VERY bad hair cut... I think supercuts would have been better!

We fix $10 hair cuts.

can you fix $20 hair cuts?

We fix $10 hair cuts.


A good haircut is hard to find.
I've tried about 8 places, and think I finally found one that's good.
I'd rather pay 25-30 bucks than not be a happy camper.

Last trip to super cuts left me with hair on the right 1/2" longer than the left.

Remember, you may not get what you pay for!!

So you guys just don't tell the barber #1 or #2? Sounds complicated.

I tell my barber to just go at it. Seems easy enough to me.

The key is to find that one person that does well with YOUR hair, whether you find this person at an $8 or a $50 joint.
I'm not too picky about my haircuts, although I do see this one person regularly at this $10 hole-in-the-wall joint. She's been doing hair for about 20 years.

Quick way to fix any haircut??? Just shave it all off. Besides, your helmet will fit your head perfectly!

Oh so true!!

RAY STEVENS Lyrics » The HairCut Song Lyrics

When you get a haircut, be sure to go back home
When you get a haircut, get a barber you have known
Since you were a little bitty boy sittin' in a booster chair
Or you might look like Larry, Moe or Curly if a stranger cuts your hair

Well, Butte, Montana just a'passin' through, one thing I just had to do
Had to get a haircut and I was worried for my hair
I had a feeling of impending doom the minute I stepped into that room
And laid my eyes upon that barber chair

It was a macho barber shop. Hair dryers were mounted on a rifle rack.
Wasn�t no mirrors. The barber chair was a Peterbilt... Barber walked in;
he was huge, seven feet tall, three hundred pounds of spring steel and
rawhide. Wearin' a hard hat, chewin' a cigar, had a t-shirt on -- said,
I hate musicians. Threw me in the chair, sneered and said, What'll it
be pal? Now a lot of people would be intimidated in a situation like
this...I was not. I am what I am, play my piano, and sing my little
songs. I looked him right in the eye and I said, I'm a logger - just up
from Coos Bay, Oregon. Been toppin' trees - quite possibly the toughest
man in the entire world. He said, All right! he gave me a haircut and
I walked out of there friends, my hair was gone! Made Kojak look like
Bill Golden. Yeah, had a tremendous craving to operate heavy equipment.
Now, you may think that Butte, Montana haircut's the worst any man could
ever get...Wrong!

Well, a few months later I was in LA, truckin along on a smoggy day
I needed a haircut so bad I looked like Bozo the Clown
I was looking shaggy, not too good, I'd put it off as long as I could
And Lord, I hate to get a haircut out of town

Well, I walked in immediately and realized immediately that this guy was
into punk rock. The walls were done in black leather. Had chains and
whips and handcuffs hanging on me. Barber walked in, he had orange hair.
Black mascara. Stainless steel teeth. Black leather jacket with zinc
studs. He threw me in the chair, hit me a couple times - whap, whap -
chained me down, threw a Nazi flag over me. Said, I'm going to tell you
something that might make you a little nervous. I laughed. Ha ha
ha... I said, What could possibly make me nervous? He said, I'm
gay. Nooo problem. I'm not threatened in any way. I mean, I'm secure in
my manhood, everything is cool I am what I am, play my little piano,
sing my little songs. I looked him right in the eye. I said, I'm a
logger. Played football in high school. I was in the Marine Corps. He
said All right and he gave me a haircut. I walked out of there,
friends, my hair was purple. Well, at least that Mohawk section down the
middle was purple. Had a white streak down one side... other side looked
like Mr. T. Had a couple safety pins in my cheeks. Felt a teeeeny bit
conspicuous. Luckily, my next job was in San Fransisco. Shoot, I got
there and I didn't even stand out at all. Wasn't even close! Those
people thought I was an insurance salesman!

Well, a few months later, I was way down south, grits and gravy and hush
your mouth
Hair so long I'm startin' to look like a man in drag
It was then that the sheriff walked up and said, Boy, you got too much
hair on your head...
You better get yourself a haircut or a dog tag!
Well, when I stepped into the shop, I realized immediately that I was
dealing with a born-again barber. Don't see too many barber shops with a
steeple, had an organ in the corner, a choir. An usher led me to the
barber chair. Barber walked in, started saying grace, Oh Lord, for
these haircuts we are about to receive, may we be truly thankful.
Dominus possum pax probiscus, post mortem, et tu brute, puella
carborundum. He was sorta half-Baptist, half-Catholic... kind of a
Cathtist. He started cuttin' my hair and preachin' at the same time. I
mean he's a wild man, scissors and razors a'flyin' around my head, he's
talkin'about the liquor and wild women and music and sex and the evils
of dancing and the music business in general. Then he looked down at me
and he said, What do you do for a living? Now, I'm not ashamed of what
I do for a livin'. Workin' bars and casinos, around liquor and wild
women, I just play my piano, sing my little songs. I looked him right in
the eye and I said, I run this church for loggers...

When you get a haircut, be sure to go back home
When you get a haircut, get a barber you have known
Since you were a little bitty boy sittin' in a booster chair
Or you might look like Larry, Moe or Curly if a stranger cuts your hair

So you guys just don't tell the barber #1 or #2? Sounds complicated.

Normally I do... But in this case I don't think it would have mattered... :rolleyes:

I've always either cut my hair myself or had a friend cut my hair. It saves money and you don't need to be bothered by the insignificance of hairstyles.

Best is to find someone you're interested to cut your hair, it can be a sort of covert date.

I married my hair dresser 20 years ago.....:)

Hair dresser once every 2 months, accountant once every year, dentist once every year, doc visit varies... So difficult to weigh one over another. :lol:

I've been to supercut once when I was a kid. I guess experience varies, but I still remember with mine. People needed to look at my back sideways in order to see that the hair ends in a horizontal line. Since then, I just stick to the hair dresser that I have the most faith in.

Most hairdressers are not artists. Some can't cut straight or have a difficult time with symmetry. They should have gone into other fields.

So it seems its the luck of the draw? :eek: :cry:

That's why you need risk taking friends. :D

Gay guys are usually good with hair and tend to have a lot of clients.

Not all gays are Divine....:rolleyes: I'm a hairstylist and being in the Biz for 20 years I've seen some bad cuts. Gay or straight.


The best advice is find someone's hair you like (co-worker, friend,family etc) and ask where they go. This will at least give you a starting point and if you like thier, hair chances are you'll get a good cut. But if you looking for something "close bye" or "cheap" then be prepared to go through some bad cuts.;)

Oh, of course not. I'm not a hairstylist but my wife and I have been in this business for close to 25 years as owners and operators of salons. One odd observation I've been able to make over these years is that some new clients, especially women, looking for new hair cutters would ask for and prefer male stylists. They seem to have this notion that male stylists, particularly gay stylists, in general, are very good with hair......go figure...
