在美國剪個頭要多少錢？理髮師不催你辦卡還跟你聊人生？

理髮這種頭等大事需要花多少錢？

你可能會想，各地消費水準不一樣，價格自然不同。除此之外，高級沙龍和街邊師傅收費肯定有區別。再說了，十多年前和現在放到一起，也是今非昔比。

幼兒園的時候剪個頭就是2塊錢，板寸，剪完了會從大人手裡接過2枚硬幣遞給理髮師傅。

現在，別說北京上海，光是杭州的小區理髮店都要80-120。

一家店面不大的理髮店，幾乎全都是「資深髮型設計師」，其中不乏「設計總監」。

充完一千塊，拿著會員卡，我有一種站在「消費升級」潮頭的錯覺。

我想知道，大洋對岸，理髮這種每個人都定時要做的事情，要花多少錢。

? I used to get mine done once every 2 months and I paid around ￡12. But recently I found a great stylish place that does a beautiful job with my hair and charges me ￡40. And the way they do it, I have to get it done once a month.

我以前是每兩個月花12英鎊剪一次頭。不過最近我找到一家蠻不錯的理髮店，剪得很好，收費40鎊。他們那樣的剪法兒，叫我不得不每個月去一次。

? About every six weeks, pay $30 (plus a $5 tip). I』ve had the same barber for half my life. He also doubles as my therapist. I love you, Hector.

我每6個星期剪一次，花費30刀（另外還給5刀小費）。我這半輩子都是用的同一個理髮師，他還是我心理醫生。愛你，赫克托。

? Ive been going to the same barber for almost 20 years. When that man retires, the most consistent relationship Ive had will come to an end.

我20年來都是去找同一個師傅給我剪。如果他退休了，我這輩子最持久的關係就終結了。

? This is exactly the same for me. My barber has helped me through some tough times, just by being there to listen to me when I speak. The fact he keeps me relatively handsome is an added bonus.

我也是這樣！我的理髮師和我共渡了很多難關，他願意聽我吐苦水。給我弄好看點不過是意外收穫罷了。

? I keep going back and forth between getting a basic $15 haircut at the local barber and a $40 one at that chain shop, where you also get a nice head/neck massage and hot towel treatment with the haircut. The $15 haircut is all I really need but its nice to pamper myself a little and turn it into a relaxing hour away from the world.

我老是變來變去，有時候在附近理髮店花15刀剪一下，有時候又會去連鎖店剪個40刀的，那個地方還會給你按摩頭和脖子，剪頭的時候用的也是熱毛巾。其實吧，對我來說剪個15塊的就足夠了，但是偶爾縱容一下自己對自己好點兒也沒錯，就當是放空自己一小時吧。

? $45, including tip. Sometimes $35 if it is a touch up. Not only does he do a good job, but it is also a convenience. At this point in my life, I will gladly pay more for convenience. It is across my street. Barber has offered to come to my house and cut my hair before. Guy knows exactly what he is doing and depending on the mood either we dont talk at all or we chat it up. So to me the amount is completely worth it. I also get compliments on my hair, which is nice.

45刀剪一次，包括小費。有時候如果只是修一修，就只要35。我的理髮師不僅剪得好，而且提供很多方便。我都這把年紀了，花點錢買方便什麼的我很樂意。理髮店就在我家對過兒。理髮師他也會上門服務。他清楚地知道怎麼剪，看情況，有時候我倆不講話，有時候也聊上一會兒。對我來講，這價格挺值當的。也有人誇過我髮型好看，挺好的。

? My husband gets his cut about every 6-8 weeks. We have clippers so usually I do it for him at home, but sometimes if he wants something different he goes to the local Great Clips or whatever chain hair place and gets it done for around $25.

我老公每6-8周剪次頭髮。因為家裡有推子，所以一般就是我給他剪。但有時候他想換換髮型，就會去附近的連鎖理髮店，花上25刀剪個頭。

? Every 6 weeks to 2 months. I generally drop about fifty including the tip. I have curly, wavy, difficult to cut hair though, and these guys found a style that works for me even when its getting a bit shaggy.

每6周或者2個月剪一次頭。包括小費在內，我一般要花50刀。我的頭髮特別卷，很難剪，但這些理髮師給我設計了個不用怎麼打理，就算亂糟糟也看得過去的髮型。

? Once a month - Dont really have much hair, but I go there because its a barbershop run by Jamaicans and typically caters to Caribbean folks, so its mostly the entertainment value of watching grown men sit around shooting the breeze. The haircut is 15 CAD, but I usually pay 20 CAD because Jerrys a cool dude.

每月剪一次。我頭髮不多，去理髮店也是因為這家是牙買加人開的，專門服務加勒比人，在那兒看一幫成年人坐著侃大山特有意思。剪頭是15加幣，但一般我都給20，因為給我剪的Jerry真的是個不錯的人。

? I pay $30 ($25+$5 tip) every two weeks. Ive been going to the same guy for about a year now and would never go to anyone else. Ive gotten my hair cut at some high-end salons that ended up costing me $100+, which was by far the best haircut experience Ive ever had, but I dont want to be paying $200+ a month in haircuts.

我每兩周剪一次，要花30刀（25剪頭，5塊小費）。這一年來我都是去同一個小哥那裡剪，沒去過別家。我也去過一些高端沙龍做過頭髮，剪一次要100多刀，不過的確是我迄今為止剪過最好的頭，但是，我還是不想一個月花兩百多刀在剪頭髮上。

也有人，尤其是男性，覺得無所謂，自己推省錢省力。

? I cut my own hair 2 weeks so its for free.

每兩周，我自己剪，免費。

? Same! Just recently started buzzing my hair with the 3mm 1/8 clip a few months ago. Takes me 15 minutes total from setting up to hopping in the shower. I cut it once a week on fridays so I can look fresh throughout the week. People recently warmed up to it at work because I always look "clean" as opposed to before.

我也是誒！最近才開始用3mm 1/8的推子自己剪，剪了有幾個月了。從開始準備到剪完去沖澡，總共也就15分鐘。我每周五剪頭，這樣一來，我每周都可以有清爽的新髮型。我同事都誇我剪得好，說是比之前看起來乾淨多了。

我覺得那些萌生出自己剪頭想法的人，都曾經或多或少經歷過跟髮型師的「溝通困難」，從理髮結果來看，會懷疑自己開始的時候講的是不是中文。

有些人和理髮師的理解是有偏差的，這些偏差包括但不限於：要剪掉的長度、劉海偏分的方向、頭髮的顏色、彎曲的形狀……

就像下面這個故事。

Barber: What kinda cut you want?

理髮師：您想剪成什麼樣子？

Me: Ever seen the moon?

我：你見過月亮嗎？

Barber: Say no more..

理髮師：別說了，我懂。

不覺得像美國著名動畫工作室夢工廠嗎？

總結下來，美國剪個頭，街區連鎖店的消費大概在20-50美元之間，高端沙龍可能要花數百美元。

算下來還是自己推最划算。不過，剪劉海手殘的女孩子還是乖乖去跟理髮師商量吧，爭取做到溝通順暢——「修一修就真的只要修一修」。
