Hallowed Hair¢ut$
Feb/20/10 08:40 AM
Sometimes I think the Wall Street Journal reads my mind.
After spending the past week arguing with roommates and friends how stupid it is to pay big bucks for a haircut, the WSJ publishes this gem: “Does a Pricey Haircut Pay Off?”.
The cheapest haircut I’ve been able to find down here is $22. Yes, $22.
I would rather eat the cost of a flight home to Boston and get my haircut at Pat’s in Cohasset for $13 than pay over twenty bucks for a seven minute clip. Just on principle.
Better yet, you could trek down to Marine Corps Base Quantico and pay $8, though you might end up with a not-so-fashionable (at least around here) high and tight.
As the author notes, “How can anybody assert that a fancy haircut, something that begins depreciating almost as soon as you spring out of the barber’s chair, is a good investment?”
Well said Mr. Templin, well said.
