No and I also find those unnecessary.

If my girlfriend legitimately wanted to spend that kind of money on hair extensions then I would rethink our relationship. What an absolute waste of money. No kidding so many people have credit card debt.



didnt you say a few pages ago that you spend more money on a haircut than everyone in this thread?

It's still an optional thing a woman spends money on to help boost her self confidence.


Some women have really thin hair or just cannot grow their hair past a certain length(no matter what they try). Hair extensions give volume and fullness for those with really thinned out hair and length to those that have always wished for long hair...but could never grow it out.


You look at many of the celebrities and models with full,long, flowing locks....likely many of them have hair extensions to achieve that look.

I don't like spending that much but I have not found a decent professional that is more like $20. Dallas is expensive. It's either Super Cuts or a salon.

Also, I can easily afford the service and cutting my hair takes skill and is not an electric razor exercise.

Their careers are dependent on their physical appearance. It is basically a business expense for them. This does not mean that average women should be spending that much on hair.

Even someone who is college educated making 60k is spending a large portion of their disposable income on that single service. I find that concerning (queue the "they can spend their money how they want" crowd).

Don't want a handful of hair and the ensuing crying when I accidentally pull out a handful of it.

Barbers got memories like elephants. Don't tip and next time you get a gap.

$2 if she listens to how to cut the hair. $0 if she doesn't or has smoke fingers.

if she's hot, and does a good job, i'll usually end up giving her more than just the tip

$10 tip routinely? Jesus. Do you go to a fancy salon. I tip my barber $8 at most and that's because he he sometimes doesn't have the ones to break a 20. It's a $12 fricking hair cut. I try to give $15 total.

ETA: to be fair my barber owns his shop outright and all the equipment therein. He's got plenty.

Cut is $14. I hand him a 20 every time and head out the door.
