hello metal_monkee, i go to my HUSBAND haha, he do my haircut all the time for almost 5 years now. i have a long hair so he just have to do the trimmings every 3 months. i am not a fan of parlor and i dont like any manicures or pedicures or anything like that so we do save a lot with that. i think to have a decent haircut here it will be $50 so that is a good thing then imagine if i have to do other things at the parlor we will end up being so poor LOL i prefer to be natural (no makeup no lipstick - what you see is what i am haha!) coz i feel dirty and ugly if i have something with me except lotion LOL my husband do his own haircut so that is another savings, we're pretty simple in that case so i am happy about that. i feel more connected with him knowing that my hair likes him a lot, i have a sensitive hair that i will shed or will take forever to grow so im happy that my hair and him get along pretty great LOL takecare

yeah, some countries are cheaper than the other. my sister in finland says it is more expensive there than anywhere else so they are doing the same thing we are doing LOL haha, yeah you should add those other options they are very important too specially to those who are poor and trying to conserve some money as much as they can. takecare

Well I will go to a hair dresser and get it done. Or my aunt may do it for me. I usually just do it myself. But, if I have to go somewhere else it will be to only two places..

Hey! Thats how much one haircut costs in a barbershop??Woah! Thats really cheap but then again there are some barbershops here who offers P25 per haircut. Me? I obviously go to a parlor to get my hair trimmed or fixed. The rate is much higher but the lowest possible price you can get around in my town for a haircut in a parlor is P50 and thats only trimming. Sometimes it also depends on the length. Whew! Its really hard being a girl but I guess its more fun since you get to do things with your hair wild or not.LOL Still I think that P40 for a haircut in is a bit costly. Especially when the guy's hair just needs a centimeter trim and thats all. For me that should only cost about P15-20. CAnt blame anyone and I guess I cant do anything about it since most consumer product prices nowadays are skyrocketing.tsk3 Congratulations in reaching your 300th post.^_^

Oh! I have a friend who got to experience that P2 fare. My earliest memory of the jeep fare is P4 and the tricycle is only P3. I still remember that.^_^
