    I just got my hair cut in the Barber place beside Tesco's.

    Number 1 all over, 5 mins tops.... 12 euros!! WTF???

    I was too stunned to say anything. I did pause and look at her, but she just said it again. I normally get it done in a nice place on the same street as that Cavan People newspaper...yes I am not from Cavan, so road names are not up to speed. They charge me about 6 for the same thing and the girl is nice so I'd round it 10 sometimes....but 12???

    rant over.

    I get mine done in there the odd time also, over Christmas it hopped up from €9.50 to €12. Pretty big jump in my opinion... I still go in the odd time though, one of the girls does a great job.

    12 euros! Tis a bit over the top alright. Like you said you can get it for 6 if all your looking for is a simple 1 all over. Hardly much styling can be done with that.

    Well Its a disgrace that someone can charge you that and keep a straight face.

    Again, 12euros for a simple 1 all over is way too much. Its not 12 everywhere at all. I was just stupid enough not to ask 1st.

    €12? Those are Dublin prices. It's happening in all sectors. They get wind of what the going rate is in Dublin and think "Why the f**k can't I charge that too?"

    There is one new place in Cavan town where I've heard you get charged €25. It's better to ask the price in advance.
