To respond to what Douglas wrote, I have the exact same speech memorized to tell my coiffurer, except that I use the shorter #4 clipper instead of the hippy-esque #6. As Douglas mentioned earlier, my hair does look a bit like a pissy porcupine stomping across a hurricane map, but I like it that way. That look requires no effort whatsoever to maintain, which plays right into my forté of doing as little as possible with my hair. Unlike my brother, Jayna, I am not a preening sissy-boy.
On to my mundane cheapskate blurb: What is going on with Supercuts? Don't they know that we're in a recession? They used to charge $12, then $14, then $15, then $17, then they started adding tax on top of the haircut price, and now they're up to $19 plus tax. The whole reason I go to Supercuts is because I don't want to pay more than $20 to get my hair cut. I've already established that hair appearance is not at the top of my priority list, so $20 for 15 minutes strikes me as excessive, especially when the guy sprays water in my eyes and keeps slapping me on the head with his comb. (The previous statement was not a euphemism in any way.)
I would start looking for a new place to get my hair cut, but that would conflict with my aforementioned forté. Hmm... what would Zan do? Judging from the photo, he would find the illegitimate offspring of Dorothy Hamill and Mr. Spock and then jab her in the eye with an ice-shiv and force her to cut it for him. This would of course be followed by lacquering it with some industrial-strength pomade. As soon as Supercuts goes above $20, I am totally going to do that.

The problem is that Supercuts is a corporate chain, and they have a mandate for a certain amount profitability across the board and all that crap, so what you need is to find a small independent shop, one of those ones that looks like time forgot it. Jez pays $12 or $13 for his haircut by a Ukrainian and/or Vietnamese woman with an electric razor and a thick accent, in a little place around the corner that looks like it was last decorated in the 1970's. You're welcome!
