I live in Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu province which is one of the most prosperous regions in China. Haircuts can be expensive in Nanjing, like 30- 50 US $. But there are also small barber shops at the corner of the streets where the barber charges you around 5-10 US $ for a haircut. I used to get a haircut at a big saloon because I dreaded my hair looked ugly when I came out of the shop. So I chose the high priced barber to serve me during the past ten years. But around six months ago the barber I adhered to started doing a shoddy work on my hair. Usually he needs to spend 15-20 minutes making a haircut for me. Rather than that he used less than 10 minutes to finish that cut. He did this twice and I was unhappy thinking I need to look for a new barber. Then yesterday I walked into a smaller barber shop asking for a bob haircut. They said they were able to do that. And they did! The barber is a young bloke who calls me auntie. He made that haircut very carefully and skillfully. About 15 minutes later I was very satisfied with his work when I looked into the mirror. Surprisingly he only charged me 8 US $. So I found for myself a new barber ! ---

Good going! Yeah, sometimes it pays to give the smaller businesses a chance. I’m happy you like your new haircut. 🙂 ---

That’s great!!! I’m glad you found a great barber who isn’t expensive! Yay! My hair costs $145 plus tip but I get it done once every 6 months ---

Great job finding a good deal! My husband just got his cut with a razor at the salon, and it was almost $40! Crazy prices nowadays. ---

Last month I went to the barber and told him I wanted a haircut. He said, "I’ll do them all for $15. ---

Ive had an 8 dollar haircut before. I stopped going because he messed it up. I just shave my head now, been doing so for the last 10 years or so. ---

> [@Lilyofthevalley](#): > > My hair costs $145 plus tip but I get it done once every 6 months That’s quite a lot of money for a hair cut. I knew this because I had ever lived in Newcastle, Australia, where haircuts were expensive, too. ---

$15 for a haircut sounds reasonable considering where you live now. I bet there are many big salons in your city with high prices for haircuts. ---
