Hahaha, this is why we want to get our haircuts.. it's because of the treatment that you get and you can relax for a few minutes and enjoy the moment, lol. But those prices..
My husband shaves his head and he refuses to go to a barber shop for the reasons you mentioned. He just wants to have it done.. no chit chat, no money spent.. maybe you could think of investing your money in a good shaver instead of make sure that you visit the same barber all the time :)
Congratulations on your curie vote!
