There is a shop near my house that allows us to save on hair cut.
The membership program is quite simple.
You get a $50 package, and they will give you $2 extra.
Each hair cut during the weekday cost $3, and $4 during the weekend or public holiday.
I bought the package more than a year ago, and I still have half the value.
I think my $50 package can really last a long time.
$50 becomes my budget for hair cut for 2 years, namely last year, and this year.

I don't buy any package for haircut because it is quite expensive here and they expect you to dye or perm my hair as it will use up your package immediately. And I just want to have a simple haircut. It is fine to cost me about USD6 each time.

i have never had a $15 hair cut in my life.
It used to be $10 per hair cut across the country, then someone started a chain to fight the established player.
They even reached as low as $1 for those who signed up as members at one time.
I think the price is not sustainable, so the current price of $3 sets in.

What is the rate of supermarket cashiers or fast food workers?
if they make 100 rupees per hour, that means the hair cut is quite costly.
Over here, supermarket cashiers make about $6 per hour, and fast food workers make about $5.50 per hour, so a hair cut takes up half an hour of their labor.

That's pretty cheap. Is $3 Singapore dollar or USD? Here we can get around $3 USD per hair cut, it's considered as quick haircut, without any special request. We usually went for these shops. I seldom go to the saloons in the shopping mall, as I know the price for haircut is higher. Moreover, I don't really like them to keep promoting me to buy certain products.

In Denmark women often have to pay more than $60 for one haircut Men pay less but it is still expensive. That kind of package sounds amazing.

@scheng1 In my country the minimum wage is about $20 before taxes, and we receive $10 after taxes. A woman who receives the minimum wage has to work 6 or 7 hours to pay for a haircut.

That sounds like an awesome deal/package your hair salon offers. Mine offers the 10th haircut free, review on Yelp, get a free haircut and occasionally coupons in the mail for $10 haircut and complimentary shampoo which is a great deal!
