Where is the cheapest place in Calgary to get a haircut?

I just want to do a 1 or 2 all around and don't want to be forking out the normal $12+ for a 5 minute job, nor do I trust my mom doing it for me.

Thanks.

Haha...well normally my haircuts are $14-$20 depending on where I go. I've always gotten a regular haircut and haven't ever just chosen to go nearly bald. I just don't see why it should cost that much to almost shave my head within 3-5 minutes.

$12 too much for me? I guess i'm just being a cheap asian guy.

If you're getting short buzz cuts (almost shaved) why don't you just get clippers and do it yourself on a #2 or #3 setting. The clippers will cost you $20 and it'll take you 5 min at your convenience without having to leave the house.

Go to Wal mart, buy a hair cutting kit (the power cutters with a million attachments) for like $15-20, and get a friend to buzz your head every time for the price of 1-2 haircuts.

EDIT: God damnit you beat me to it by like 5 seconds.

Hahaha, Thats exactly what I was thinking.


But yeah, just go buy clippers and do it yourself.
Very cheap and once you do it a couple times, it's extremely easy to do yourself in just a couple minutes.

if you are that cheap, just:

1) buy a plastic bowl for 99 cents
2) place it on your head.
3) cut along the plastic line



you're done!!!

when I first read this thread before any of the posts, I knew this had no possible way of ending good haha

Shave your own head, its not too hard, with the guards in place there isnt a way to mess up

On the east side of center St, right past the center st bridge in Chinatown is a Chinese hairdresser. Forget what they're called, but I get my hair cut there for $8. I don't have much hair to begin with so it works for me.

That place looks filthy. I wonder if they sanitize their stuff.

12 bucks is the average price for a haircut from some chinese person in chinatown or in their basement -

i bought a hair clipper from xs cargo for 9 bucks.

use it once a week doing a number 1 cut. One hair cut and its already paid for itself.

Well thats some weak shit right there. One more reason not to join the military I guess.

You could just start trimming your bangs yourself and grow the rest out. That way you will grow a mullet and fit right in here in Calgary. :rofl:

I go to Xpressions ($14) which is right beside the $8 shop. It's so much better at Xpressions.

No fucking kidding, especially if $12 is considered "steep".
