    I am at my girlfriend's and she lives right here by Reliant.

    I can't justify going to Superclips and spending $18 for their run of the mill haircut.

    Is there a competent cheap place around Reliant? Maybe like a small barber shop? Something that isn't a chain like SuperCuts or SportsClips?

    Plus tip...Man, haircuts have gotten expensive...I've been doing my own hair for the past couple of years...trust me, there is some trial and error involved, but I keep it short and it works for me...I trim it every week...

    Every once in a while I'll go to supercuts, but that's $13 plus tip...

    Yeah if you get the right tools, (different guard sizes, etc.) it's not that hard. maybe get your gf to try it. with a guard on it's pretty hard to mess it up

    Guys who cut their own hair are crazy! I don't mind my husband spending 15-20 on a GOOD haircut. It pissed me off when he pays that much and gets a bad one.

    i havent been able to find a solid and reliable good haircut for 15-20. There was one chick that did well but she ended up moving. I always ended up going home and having to trim something up myself. I said screw it and I pony up for a high quality haircut. I pay more but it's worth

    Barber Shop FTW. The best barber shops are usually in lower-income neighborhoods.

    I do my own...its not hard, it takes about 10 minutes, and I can do it anytime I want.

    I started in college, about 8 years ago, and it was rough at first. Now, I'm pretty good at it, and even if you do mess up a little, it grows back.

    I've been going to Hair By Tony's III on Bellaire near HWY6 (across from Fiesta) since I was in high school (graduated in '98). Even though I'm not in Houston anymore, when I'm in town I stop by for a nice $5 haircut.

    I think that is Hair by Tony's IV... that dude has messed up my hair 3 times in a row... I prefer the one by beechnut and HW6, which is currently closed for remodeling or soemthing.

    where are these?

    it has been almost 24 months to the day that i last paid for a haircut. (june 16 2006. i remember cause my nephew was born the same day)... so where do i go? i had a place in dallas that i went to. $10, it was old fashion and in a lesser privileged area. i'm going to need to hit up a place within the next couple of weeks.

    hook a brother up

    Just put a bowl on your head and cut around it.

    Go to those Asian hair salons. It is usually like $2.99, so if you give them $5 when in total with tip you feel like a big man walking out. Actually the best part about going to those places is you don't have to make idle conversation with the hair dresser since many of them don't speak English all that well.
