The recommended tipping standard for barbers is 15-20% of the total cost of the haircut. This means that if your cut costs $40, you should tip between $6-$8. Of course, tipping is always at your discretion. Feel free to tip more or less, depending on those considerations above.

Average haircut costs at a barbershop typically range from $20 to $40, with specialty styles costing more. Location, experience and reputation of the barber, and amenities offered by the shop can affect prices.

Gender distribution of barbers in the U.S. 2020-2023 In 2023, approximately 72 percent of barbers in the United States were men. In the same year, employees in that occupation earned a mean annual wage of roughly 36,000 U.S. dollars.

Typically, men should get a haircut every two to three weeks, but if you're doing a tight fade (or something similar that needs extra detail) every two weeks should more than do the trick. Definitely no less than once a month as your hair is gonna' get pretty crazy and out of shape if you wait that long.
