re: It is worth paying 50 for a good haircut rather than a 15 dollar buzz job.

When my wife was in the salon business (sales and management), I used to get free $50 haircuts but still had to tip of course. During those years I looked pretty damn sharp. I would never actually pay $50 for a haircut, it's just not in my DNA to do so. Maybe if I was in the dating scene or had a sales job where I had to look sharp.
